We're staying at a campground near Barstow CA. Route 66 was once the major highway through this town bringing visitors from all over. These tourists ate at diners and restaurants all along the route. Tonight we dined on food that tasted like 1950's memories at Peggy...
For the second time in our western states rambles, we've stopped in Las Vegas to fuel up and then travel on. In '73 we were scurrying on to Hoover Dam and this time we're just anxious to make tracks into California. We did overnight here in '08 but this time finding a...
Kodachrome Basin State Park was named by members of a 1948 National Geographic expedition for the then new a revolutionary color photographic film, this is an amazing place. There are colorful sandstone formations in every direction. It was a gorgeous last stop on a...
Just have to say that we welcomed the sight of this watering hole near Boulder, Utah. Stopped in for pie and coffee then decided to order the Iceberg Wedge Salad. It was way too good and filling. Never got to sample the pie.
As we travel in our modern air-conditioned vehicle on this 115F late June afternoon, we marvel at the courage of those who drove through this desert decades ago on adventures along Route 66, The Mother Road.
We realized this morning that Gigi, our little gypsy wagon needed new shoes. Generally tires that size need to be ordered. We were wondering where we'd find a place that could get them in tomorrow and we could camp nearby. We were in luck! We stopped at Beard Tire...
Driving west on Utah's Scenic Byway 12, one of the most spectacular stretches of road there is. The section between Escalante and Boulder is superlative. As you drive along a narrow ridge, the views on either side are breathtaking. You feel compelled to be continually...
As we traveled west from NV into CA we were intrigued with the big splashy casino complexes on the NV side and the huge sprawling solar generation farm!
Park Service Introduction Video Zion defies description. We were told it was very different from Bryce Canyon and that is so very true. Besides the fact that you get to view the canyon from below, the formations are so huge! There's so much here! And we have so little...
We've been learning about the Ancient Puebloans in bits and pieces for many years. We've visited Meza Verde in '73 and '08. We visited Bandelier together in '05. Today at Utah's Anasazi State Park Museum we learned more about their culture, beliefs, and day to day life.
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

It’s been a gentle start to our London visit. We’ve taken it easy for a few days and concentrated on enjoying Hampstead.
On our transition day from the cruising segment of this summer’s adventures to an England visit based in Hampstead in London we savored the comforts of a Blue Eurostar journey through The Chunnel.
