Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
After leaving Lone Pine, CA, we headed 150 miles north along U.S. 395, which is in the best shape of any highways we’ve traveled in a long time! On the way, we stopped in Bishop to grab lunch and bread at Erick Schatz’s Bakery (thanks, Amy, for another great recommendation!). …
Some Californians regularly visit the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains (skiing in Mammoth, climbing Mt. Whitney, or heading up the back way to Yosemite or Lake Tahoe), but we haven’t traveled to this area in over 25 years! We hope it won’t be another 25 years before we come through here …
Our first international diving trip since Covid did not disappoint. After a 4-½ hour direct flight from LAX, we landed in Belize City, Belize, and were transported to the Aggressor IV, our 138-foot floating home for the next week. Twenty divers in ten cabins, plus eight crew members, fit comfortably …
After watching the UCLA Men’s Basketball Team beat the University of Washington at Pauley Pavilion (sorry, brother Ron), we headed out in our RV in late February for some desert discovery time. UCLA beats Univ of Washington!!! Camping at Puddingstone Reservoir–right-hand sign designed and built by our nephew and brother-in-law! …
Wandering in Puget Sound, Washington The long bridge over the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington After a few delightful days on the Oregon Coast, we continued our West Coast/Rocky Mountain RV trip by crossing the Columbia River in Astoria, Oregon, and heading west to Cape Disappointment State Park in …
This is Part 2 of our trip to Tanzania in 2018. Part 1 was all about our African safari—truly one of the best experiences of our lives (here’s our post). But we weren’t done with our adventures yet, and this post is all about scuba diving in the Indian Ocean! …
We can’t travel right now, so I thought I’d go back and fill in some of the trips we took before we started our travel blog. If you’re looking for some pictures of nature to take you away from your current reality or dreaming about the chance to travel again, …
Our first post was getting a bit long, so here is Part Two of our description of Palau and its wonderful diving. In the first post (Diving in Palau–Wow! [Part One]), we described the earlier dives of our trip, along with excursions to Jellyfish Lake and Milky Way. Here we …
It’s never fun to drive the RV in a big city, but we stuck to the outskirts of Chicago, arriving at our campground in the midst of a massive heat wave. Since we have explored much of Chicago on previous trips, this trip to the Windy City was mainly for …
We’re back in the U.S., crossing the border in New York, then whipping through a small corner of Pennsylvania before landing in Northeast Ohio at Punderson State Park, a lovely little campground next to a lake, where we had fabulous neighbors (Cathy and Dave) and enjoyed fireflies and being in …
