Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
While Cape Bretoners might grumble about being part of Nova Scotia, the island above the mainland of Nova Scotia is technically a part of the province, having been annexed to Nova Scotia in 1820. And what a beautiful place Cape Breton is, especially now that spring has finally arrived in …
At the Canadian border a couple of weeks ago, they asked us if we had any weapons. We said no. We lied… But our weapons were for fighting the billions of little black flies and mosquitoes that we faced on this part of the trip. We came prepared. Why …
We’ve had 8 fun days around the 170-mile-long Bay of Fundy, staying in 4 different locations (see map below), so we could experience the variety of this place. While most people have heard of the Bay of Fundy because of its extreme tides, we really didn’t have a good visual …
Yes, we could have included Acadia in our last post on Northern New England, but it deserves a post all to itself. While we had another rainy day driving across the state of Maine, the sun came out in the early evening, and we explored the “quietside of Acadia” in …
What a lovely drive we had through southern Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, making our way to Scusset Beach State Reservation (state park) on Cape Cod Bay. This was one of the easiest state parks we’ve tried to get into—no windy roads or flooded streets. Located just a little way …

July 2018 – This was a return trip to Yellowstone for us, so we only stayed three nights and stayed in the northern part of the park, around Mammoth Hot Springs and the Lamar Valley. We got up early to drive 180 miles and obtain a campsite in the first-come-first-served …
July 2018 – I had never heard of TR National Park (in western North Dakota) until I started doing research for our trip to Minnesota and the Dakotas, but we consider this one of the highlights of our 8-week trip, especially for wildlife viewing. TRNP has a North Unit and …
July 2018 – This state park is way off the beaten path in central North Dakota, north of Bismarck. But it’s a great location from which to view both the Missouri River and Fort Mandan (where Lewis and Clark spent their first winter). The campsite had electric only, and mosquitoes …
July 2018 — Our thanks to cousins Jean and Ray for alerting us to this little gem in North-central Minnesota. Why you ask? It’s where the headwaters of the Mississippi are located, and you can walk across the Mississippi River in shin-deep water here. The state park campground has spacious, …
