Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
It was so lovely to arrive back on Kauai (Hawaii) after not having been for five years. And it was even better that we were here with eight other dive buddies, enjoying a few days in Princeville before heading to our dive adventure in Palau (next post). The adventures began …
Missouri:When we headed east at the end of April, we passed through southern Missouri to visit Laura Ingalls Wilder’s home in Mansfield. On our way west toward home, we came through a little further north, St. Louis to be exact. St. Louis has been a significant transportation and shipping hub …
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 …
Leaving Cape Cod and heading around (not through) Boston, we drove to upstate Vermont, enjoying the beauty of the mountains and trees. We learned in Shenandoah, and it’s been true ever since, that the trees’ leaves in the spring give a hint of what they will be like in the …

You may be wondering, where the heck is Yermo? It’s about 120 miles northeast of Los Angeles in the middle of the Mojave Desert. And why would we go there at the start of our 15-week trip across the country? In the late 1800s, the town of Calico (near present-day …
January 2019 In the winter, it’s fun to take our RV for short trips to familiar hangouts, and Pismo Beach is one of our favorite areas. Here are a few highlights of our recent trip: 1. Visiting elephant seals at Piedras Blancas (about an hour north of Pismo on Highway …
