See Park Video Yesterday we traveled only 242 miles but in a northerly direction and with a gain in altitude that took us back to early Spring. The deciduous trees are bare, this morning the temperature is in the thirties, and we see robins! We're on Site A32, a...

Blue Ridge Parkway NP- North Carolina
Highway 221
We headed south this morning but not along the parkway this time. We got off on US-221, hoping to get ice and coffee at Grandfather Country Store but we were too early for that so we continued south along this road alongside the BRP. We were treated to the sight...
Among the Rhododendron
Moving north along the Blue Ridge Parkway, we left Linville Falls this morning and made it just a few miles to the Julian Price campground. Here we're finding ample shade and little sun for the solar panels so we've made the switch to a cooler for the food. We went...
Chimney View
We were up and about this morning before most folks and in the cool of the day we headed to the Linville Falls Visitors Center. This time we headed for Chimney View and a look at both the Upper and the Lower Falls. We opted so save Erwin's View for the next...
Linville Falls
These beautiful falls appear in a scene in the movie The Last of the Mohicans, but due to the magic of cinema look much taller and fearsome than they seem in person! We've walked from the visitors center about three-quarters of a mile to sit and ponder the...
Blue Ridge Parkway

OUR VERY
LATEST
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
Savoy at Sea 2025
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Cruising Canada’s Coast
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
