I was really looking forward to Saturday, March 28th. Not only was I signed up for a free, in-depth tour of Romero Ruins at Catalina State Park (near where I grew up) but I also had family from Ohio flying in to town. Now, you may be wondering where Lance has been during the last [...]
On our return from Puerto Penasco we stopped at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, north of the U.S.-Mexico border, to learn more about this special place. Approaching the Visitor Center we were confronted with a grim reminder of the Monument’s location along the border; a memorial to Ranger Kris Eggle who was shot to death [...]
Taking advantage of a natural lull in work over Christmas Lance and I escaped for a few days of rest and relaxation to Puerto Peñasco, Mexico—Rocky Point as gringos call it (though if translated properly it would be Rocky Port). In an a effort to “get away from it all” we left our cats in [...]
There’s an odd quirk of human behavior where we tend to take the things around us for granted. When I was about ten I read that a large percentage of New Yorkers had never been out to the Statue of Liberty (this was pre-9/11, obviously). I was flabbergasted—growing up in Arizona I couldn’t imagine being [...]
Leaving southwestern Utah was relatively easy as St. George is less than ten miles from the state line. Getting to where we wanted in northern Arizona however, was not so easy—at least not for us driving an RV and towing a car. There is a huge obstacle in between here and there that has been [...]
Finally leaving Idaho after more than a month we continued on our way south, with our next stop in Provo, Utah. Originally known as Fort Utah, the town was settled by Mormon families just two short years after the arrival of the first Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley. Here’s the backstory, briefly: in [...]
On Sunday we secured our belongings, stowing any items that might shift during travel, and left Ashton, Idaho driving south on Highway 20. After a quick 50 miles we joined I-15, the major thoroughfare that we will follow all the way through Idaho and into Utah. It was a short travel day for us since [...]
We had a weekend to explore Yellowstone, not nearly enough time but we were determined to make the most of it. Yellowstone, the first national park in the country, indeed the world, was created on March 1, 1872 when President Ulysses S. Grant signed The Act of Dedication. Primarily located in Wyoming, but also spilling [...]
We were heading into the Big Sky state for the weekend. It truly is big, the state is the fourth largest in the U.S. after Alaska, Texas, and California. I think the name of the state may be a bit misleading, Montana is the Spanish word for mountain. While the western side of the state [...]
The drive from Port Angeles to Seattle is not an easy one even though they are only about 80 miles apart. As the crow flies. The problem between here and there is the lovely and all-important Puget Sound. Oh sure, in theory there is a ferry that would transport a person and their vehicle from [...]
