Vivian in the wheelchair at sunset, Catherine's Landing RV park near Hot Springs. Concrete pads were an extraordinary luxury. To most, accessibility is taken for granted. The word “inaccessible” has no context to an able-bodied person. Like discrimination, you really don’t get it until you’ve experienced it. The short of it was, Vivian had only … Continue reading Sep 16, 2019 – The New Normal

Sep 9, 2019 – Breaking from Normal
After months on the road, the next phase of our travels began with great anticipation for one thing, to fulfill Vivian’s dream of fly fishing on the White River in Arkansas. But that ended just as quickly as it began. Vivian would not be fishing, not for a while. Our first evening on the beautiful … Continue reading Sep 9, 2019 – Breaking from Normal
Sep 3, 2019 – The Disney World of Fishing
Bennett Spring State Park Our reasons for traveling the United States are much like everyone else’s - seeing and experiencing new places, learning its history and meeting people with varying experiences and perspectives. These are inherent to our travels and I could say the foundation of most anyone’s RV travel plans. But of course, each … Continue reading Sep 3, 2019 – The Disney World of Fishing
Aug 19, 2019 – Wait, we’re not finished with Wisconsin yet!
Somewhere in our travel research, I read that Harrington Beach State Park is one of the best state parks in the state of Wisconsin being located on Lake Michigan. I figured after spending a week photographing Lake Michigan from Door County, it couldn’t hurt to spend a few more days doing the same from another … Continue reading Aug 19, 2019 – Wait, we’re not finished with Wisconsin yet!
Aug 12, 2019 – At Death’s Door
“The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli.” Balancing the tripod and camera on my shoulder, I carefully climbed along Lake Michigan’s steep and rugged shoreline searching for a rock ledge flat and wide enough to set up for a sunrise over the great lake. … Continue reading Aug 12, 2019 – At Death’s Door
August 9, 2019 – Driftless in Iowa
Sipping my coffee, I rolled the window shade up and peered out. Through the darkness, I could see heavy fog. What's this?! Could this be my one and only opportunity? No time to spare, I gave up the coffee and quickly gathered up the camera and equipment, got dressed and drove off into the dark … Continue reading August 9, 2019 – Driftless in Iowa

Our 183-mile route from Gettysburg to Keystone State Park. Our 109-mile route from Keystone State Park to Mill Creek Army Corp campground on Berlin Lake, Ohio. Following Gettysburg, we headed west into the heart of America’s rust belt. And of all the places we could see, we wanted to visit Pittsburgh and Cleveland. As we … Continue reading Jul 18, 2019 – Post-Industrial Tourists
Jul 15, 2019 – Gettysburg
The bucolic farm scene spread out before me as I hustled to set up the camera and tripod in predawn darkness. The unfamiliar crisp air added to my thrill of being surrounded by uninhabited hallowed grounds that make this place so special. Behind me, another scene was unfolding, a brilliant pink sky illuminating a swath … Continue reading Jul 15, 2019 – Gettysburg
Jul 10, 2019 – A Tangled Web We Weave
Taking baby steps, we drove north toward the Appalachian Mountains, the barrier between the east coast plains and interior lowlands of North America where we would eventually get to. But first, we had some things to do on this side of the country. Three hundred miles west of the coast as the crow flies, we … Continue reading Jul 10, 2019 – A Tangled Web We Weave
Jul 6, 2019 – Fightin’ for our Rats
Feeling relieved to have survived the 120-mile drive on I-95, we happily pulled into Santee State Park’s spacious Cypress View Campground. We backed in easily to our site that appeared to be the only empty one in the middle of a holiday weekend. The next day, we visited Fort Sumter and Charleston and came back … Continue reading Jul 6, 2019 – Fightin’ for our Rats
