We could have popped into Atlanta to explore World of Coca-Cola, which celebrates the soda’s creation in Atlanta. Or we could have paid our respects at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site since he was born in Atlanta in 1929. Or we could have perused the Jimmy Carter Center and Presidential Library. [...]
Chattanooga, Tennessee is at the junction of several major interstates (I-24, I-59, and I-75) and was an important crossroads long before the city existed. Some of the Native American trails are thousands of years old; people have lived in the area for over 10,000 years. The Cherokee were the last Native Americans in the area [...]
This month’s photo was really tough. Imagine how disappointed I was to see this picture, since I was anticipating a nice shot of a bird and all I got was sticks and feathers. Excellent observation skills by those who guessed “turkey” but full credit goes to Alison who correctly guessed “female wild turkey.”

We have entered a distinctly different part of the United States, the South. We are not from the South. The closest I came to the South was growing up in Arizona which was held by the Confederate Army for a few short months and we’ve visited New Orleans.
While its true we just spent three [...]

Our next location in Arkansas was chosen because of my desire to visit with an old friend. Jenny and I met almost nine years ago while working at Glacier National Park one summer. Of all the National Parks I have worked at or visited, Glacier is my favorite (close second is Olympic). It is [...]

A few miles from the small town of Murfreesboro, near the banks of the Little Missouri River (Little Mo), lies the remains of a 95 million year-old lamproite volcanic pipe.

By entering Arkansas through Texarkana (TX, AR) we were able to visit the only federal building of its kind in the U.S. In the middle of State Line Street, which actually follows the border between Texas and Arkansas through the center of town, is the unique edifice. The large building houses the only Post [...]
It was a beautiful sunny day and the roadsides were covered with the Texas state flower, the Texas Bluebonnet, a species of lupine. We were traveling along ‘blue highways’ in an effort to avoid the megalopolis that is Dallas–Ft Worth. (As one of my favorite authors William Least Heat-Moon calls them in his [...]
We were eating in a fast food establishment when a group of rough-around-the-edges teenagers walked in. Because they were teenagers testing the limits of society they were speaking loudly and almost every other word was of the four letter variety. So we couldn’t help but overhear the following comment made by one of the girls [...]
