Our chosen route to California is taking us along I-80 to Reno. Although the idea of traveling US-50, the Loneliest Road in America is intriguing, an analysis of the frequency of gas stations compared to the distance we can travel between fill ups convinced us that...
The last time we drove this stretch of I-80 west out of Salt Lake City, Utah was in September 1973. Today as we left the city we noted the Saltair III pavilion on our right. We visited it in 2014. Also we noticed some mining activity including a Morton Salt facility....
As we were navigating the streets of Salt Lake City, Utah in search of a gas station, we received a phone call from Sarah and Rick asking us to join them for dinner at Desert Edge Brewery at Trolley Square. We found a relatively quiet table in a back corner near the...
Late afternoon we stopped by Salt Lake City, Utah's Liberty Park to check out the Friday evening Farmers Market. The colorful fruits and vegetables were tempting but we fell for some sweet and savory pastries for tomorrow and some amazing salted caramel for immediate...
See Park Video After the dam tour we briefly checked out the marina but didn't stay long since the restaurant wasn't open so we headed east to the Dutch John Resort for a nice sit down lunch before heading west to the Red Canyon Overlook. Wow! What incredible views....
After a conversation with a fellow traveler at the KOA last evening about cool things to do in Flaming Gorge, this morning we headed north on US-191. All along the way are signs indicating which geologic formation is visible and what kinds of fossils are present. Also...
See Park Video Five years ago, almost to the day, we visited Dinosaur National Monument near Vernal, Utah, and promised ourselves that someday we would return and take the ranger led hike from the Quarry Exhibit Hall back to the Visitor's Center and that's exactly...
Leaving Silt, Colorado, we set our GPS to take us to Vernal, Utah. At the town of Rifle Apple Maps routed us north on CO-13, then west on CO-64, fine highways through some beautiful country. The glitch came just east of Rangely, Colorado when the GPS chose to save us...
Today's route took us north and west along US-24, CO-9, and I-70 through some gorgeous Colorado mountains and towns such as Fairplay, Alma, Blue River, Breckenridge, and Vail and then along the Colorado River. It's July so the slopes were green but the streets in town...
Not ready to leave Cripple Creek, we lingered over the Sunday morning Pancake Breakfast. On our way back to our T@B we saw Diana outside her T@B. We're always ready to hang out with fellow T@Bbers, so we stopped by for another visit with her. Diana introduced us to...

Born in 1693 in Yorkshire in the north of England he was a self-taught carpenter and clockmaker. When he was twenty-one Parliament passed the 1714 Longitude Act and set the course for Harrison’s life as he set off on a quest to build an accurate marine chronometer.
We’ve been celebrating all year, partied with family and friends in May, and most recently sailed across the Atlantic to celebrate our 50th Anniversary today here in London, England.
These last few days we've been getting oriented to our home for the month. With lodgings in the village of Hampstead in northwestern London, we have easy access to Hampstead Heath, a glorious 800 acre park that is a series of footpaths through woods and grassy spaces....
