In the four years we've been Geocaching, we've logged more than 750 finds. Some have been easy to find, Park & Grabs, others have required long treks cross country or along trails through the woods. Yet others have been urban finds, usually tiny containers, that...

Welcome to our new domain! Ever since 2004 we have had our own website. It started with a simple homepage with a gallery of photos then grew to a blog hosted on Apple’s iWeb on which we chronicled our 2008 cross country road trip. In time Apple abandoned that service...
Chenango Valley
After a leisurely breakfast at the house with Ben & Lynda we quickly packed up and hitched up our T@B 400 which had been patiently parked in the driveway while we’d ventured off to Boston. Instead of staying to watch the Fourth of July Parade march past the house,...
Delaney House
This morning we hugged and kissed our grandsons and their parents and left them to settle into their new normalcy while we headed to northwestern Connecticut. This evening we joined Ben & Lynda for a dinner at The Delaney House in Holyoke MA to celebrate the...
Lower Mills
If you are a fan of Baker’s Chocolate in general or of German’s German's Chocolate Cake in particular, this is where it all began, on the banks of the Neponset River in Dorchester MA. Established in 1765 as Hannon’s Best Chocolate, Baker’s has been a mainstay of the...
Nino’s Place
What a delicious discovery! It's Zia Gianna Italian Bakery & Caffe on Dorchester Avenue in Boston MA. We chose it as a destination for this morning's walk about and were treated not only to a most delectable Eola Frittata and a Classic American Breakfast prepared...
Prospect Mountain
It was supposed to be just an overnight stay at Prospect Mountain near Granville MA. We wanted to do laundry and empty our tanks then move on but then we settled in and decided to stay another day, then another one. It's been a pleasant three days. Our one outing was...
Ellsworth Trains
It's a family owned farm with a little store located in a barn that dates to the Eighteenth Century. We arrived in the middle of pick your own strawberries season, but the feature that really piqued our interest is the vintage Lionel trains layout. On Saturday and...
Wright’s Farm
A family farm since 1904, Wright's Farm in Gardiner NY is a wonderful place to shop for farm fresh food. Cherries just came into season this week. We got homemade Peach Rhubarb Pie, Cinnamon Apple Cider Doughnuts, Free Range Eggs, Maple Sausage , and more. It's a...
Mahlon Dickerson
This little campground in a forest not far from the jungle of metropolitan New Jersey is a delight. We walked into Mahlon Dickerson Reservation on Thursday and scored Site 9 for two nights. Built in the 1960's it was long a well kept local secret. Preston, its...

OUR VERY
LATEST
The Hidden London Tour
On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
Burgh House Hampstead
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.
Wicked The Musical
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.
