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 →

Jun 28, 2023 – The Island

After leaving Fundy National Park, we crossed the Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward island. When sustained wind speeds reach 40 mph, high-sided vehicles can be restricted. The bridge is 8 miles long, the longest in the world to cross over icy waters. It replaced ferry service to the island in 1997. Upon arriving at our … Continue reading Jun 28, 2023 – The Island →

Jun 27, 2023 – Fundy Fog Forever on My Mind

A few hours after arriving at Headquarters Campground in Fundy National Park, I stepped out into the cool evening and headed to the Bay of Fundy. Breathing in the salt air, I felt the joy of anticipation and being in a place so wildly new and different. After a 5-min walk, I stood on the … Continue reading Jun 27, 2023 – Fundy Fog Forever on My Mind →

June 14, 2024 Canada’s Oldest City

While visiting the national parks in Alberta last year, we got used to seeing signs in English and French. And after a couple conversations with native Canadians from Alberta and Saskatchewan, we got the notion that visiting Quebec would be extra challenging for English-speaking tourists, because supposedly all signs are in French and not English. … Continue reading June 14, 2024 Canada’s Oldest City →

Jun 7, 2024 – Impressions of Vermont

Vivian has, but I have not been to New England. Yes, you heard that right – Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island – nope, nope, nope, nope, nope and nope. Not even Boston. I’ve been close; upstate New York and New York City, Baltimore and other parts of Maryland, somewhere in New … Continue reading Jun 7, 2024 – Impressions of Vermont →

The Arkansas River at the Willow Beach COE Campground, near Little Rock While parked at a campground on the shores of the Arkansas River, it was not evident to us that its water’s journey began in the Colorado Rockies, then dropped 11,400 feet while flowing 1460 miles through Oklahoma and Arkansas, and eventually would enter … Continue reading Oct 5, 2023 – Following the Arkansas River to Little Rock →

Sep 25, 2023 – A Bad Thing Happened in Oklahoma

Traveling from Colorado to Tennessee, it didn’t make sense to go 250 miles out of our way. But we did anyway. Of all the places we intended to visit east of the Rocky Mountains, I was most excited about the Wichita Mountains, which were a little out of the way. Not only that, our state … Continue reading Sep 25, 2023 – A Bad Thing Happened in Oklahoma →

Sep 10, 2023 – An Urban Wilderness

A short 100 miles from Laramie, we arrived north of Denver at our home for a week. Leaving Wyoming, the least populated state in the union (about 580,000) and coming into a campground adjacent to Interstate-25 and located a tad north of the the Denver metropolitan area where almost 3 million people reside should have … Continue reading Sep 10, 2023 – An Urban Wilderness →

Aug 30, 2023 – Land Above the Trees

If you’re going to travel in an RV through Wyoming and Colorado, plan to spend most of your time a mile high or higher. After all, both states embody high altitude living, with Wyoming’s mean elevation of 6700 feet, second only to Colorado which is the highest among the states at 6800 feet (in case … Continue reading Aug 30, 2023 – Land Above the Trees →
