Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
We haven’t had a chance to travel for awhile, but over the past couple of years, when we’re home we’ve done a bunch of local hikes and walks (and a couple of new bike rides), thanks to Hank’s research. Though Southern California doesn’t have the grandeur of Yosemite, the wildlife …
We wound up this RV trip with stays at Grand Teton National Park (Wyoming) and two state parks in Colorado. Grand Teton National Park has been a favorite of ours for several years, and this was our 4th trip in 5 years. We were a little early to get the …
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 …

From North to South, here were our highlights: San Simeon / Piedras Blancas – Elephant seals. This free, right-off-the-road …

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 …
