Pulling into Colleton State Park in South Carolina, it would be another nine days before we saw the sun again. As the sun warmed me in the brisk 65-degree Maine temperature, I laughed at how it was not so long ago that I cursed the Florida heat and humidity. On our travels north, we have … Continue reading Jun 4, 2025 -Friends on the Way to Canada

May 20, 2025 – The Casita Adventures Begin!
While taking refuge from the heat in the air-conditioned Casita, it's difficult to imagine that in less than 3 weeks, we'll be above the 45th parallel ferrying our truck and trailer across the Gulf of St Lawrence to Newfoundland. A couple days after that, we'll be as far north as the 52nd parallel and as … Continue reading May 20, 2025 – The Casita Adventures Begin!
Apr 13, 2025 – Meet our new Casita Trailer
Our fifth wheel has taken us all across this country and Canada for the past 7 years. And we’ve been through so much with our home on wheels.

We compounded our inability to make a decision by information accumulation and … Continue reading Apr 13, 2025 – Meet our new Casita Trailer
Oct 12, 2024 – Where the Eighth Wonder of the World was Born
Like most people my age, I heard Lynyrd Skynyrd’s song “Sweet Home Alabama” a hundred times or more during my high school years. And like most people that listened to popular rock songs, I didn’t understand the words to most songs. To wit, I had no idea what to make of the line “Now Muscle … Continue reading Oct 12, 2024 – Where the Eighth Wonder of the World was Born
Oct 3, 2024 – Hurricane Avoidance
Watching from a distance. By the time we left Kentucky, Hurricane Helene had carved a path of destruction and devastation. We are the lucky ones, far enough away and having only the inconvenience of rain that stole a day of sightseeing and kept us indoors. As we arrived at our campground in Tennessee, Milton was … Continue reading Oct 3, 2024 – Hurricane Avoidance

Sep 22, 2024 – Horsing Around in Kentucky
Downtown Georgetown, Kentucky's horse headquarters. Bucked off a horse many years ago, I have a healthy fear of the large animals. But over the years, my respect and admiration for them has grown. In fact, one of my most memorable and profound wildlife encounters as a photographer occurred in Theodore Roosevelt National Park where I … Continue reading Sep 22, 2024 – Horsing Around in Kentucky
Sep 13, 2024 – One River, Three States
There are people out there old enough to know what a broken record sounds like, so when I say that the RV is the best way to travel in this country, you know I'm sounding like a broken record. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times, there is no better way … Continue reading Sep 13, 2024 – One River, Three States
Jul 21, 2023 – The Sea Bound Coast
Having been in Canada for 34 days and parked mostly within national parks, Halifax (the most populous city in Nova Scotia) would be the beginning of the end of our Canadian Maritimes tour. In another week, we would be back in the states and saying goodbye to our travel companions Spencer and Lorraine. Our route … Continue reading Jul 21, 2023 – The Sea Bound Coast
Jul 10, 2024 – The Cape
Heading toward Cheticamp Campground along the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Fog over the Bay of Fundy adds to the beauty of it, whereas fog over Cape Breton completely devours it. That’s what we learned after arriving at the Cheticamp Campground within Cape Breton Highlands National Park. During the first four days there, … Continue reading Jul 10, 2024 – The Cape
