See Register Cliff Park Video Here. See Oregon Trail Ruts Park Video Here. This section of The Oregon Trail was also a part of The California Trail as early as 1841, as well as The Mormon Trail beginning in 1846, and The Pony Express in 1860-1861. When The Mormons...
We traveled today from Steamboat Springs to Fort Collins along US-40 and CO-14, the Cache la Poudre Scenic Byway. Oh! The scenery! It's unbelievable. We traveled north of Rocky Mountain National Park but the scenery was every bit as beautiful! But now in Fort Collins...
The docent at the visitor center in Meeker told us about the Flat Tops Trail Scenic Byway. It's shown as a major road on the official Colorado highway map but to call this mostly gravel road between Meeker and Yampa a highway would be a stretch. It is a nice wide...
It's starting to rain! We've been on the road for nearly eight weeks and neither of us can remember the last rain we saw. Everywhere the talk is of the drought and wildfires. We stopped at a pull off to gaze out over Strawberry Reservoir and not only could we see rain...
Years ago we got a book listing some of the best state parks in the US. Today we're staying at one of the parks listed. It's not the best time for boating since the lake/reservoir has been drained to send water to Nebraska for irrigation. But another great thing about...
We enjoyed a leisurely morning in camp listening to the rushing of the Yampa River next to our site before going into the town of Steamboat Springs for lunch, a bit of geocaching, and a little shopping. We finished our day in a most relaxing manner by soaking in the...
Wow! This has been on Our List for ever so long. We're at Dinosaur National Monument in Utah! It's another of those places where we must come back! This time we arrived just after two busloads of Roads Scholars so it was crazy busy. We took the tram up to the quarry...
As we sought a campsite last night near Ft Collins CO, we learned that Frontier Days is in full swing in Cheyenne WY and that campsites and hotel rooms are a scarce commodity. We were lucky enough to score a tent site for last night but we now know that we'd rather...
Forty-one years ago when we were tent camping across the country on our honeymoon The Carpenters' hit On Top of the World was high on the charts and being played frequently on FM stations across the country. It was a bit of an anthem for us. Today as we were traveling...
We're in a high altitude desert. Sagebrush sprinkled across a red landscape here in the Colorado Plateau. Small towns are occasionally found along this stretch of US-40 but the population is so sparse that we've not had cell service for hours. We've gotten so...
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.

On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
