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 …
This is our year of short trips, and we just completed another short RV trip through three of our favorite states: California, Oregon, and Washington. Heading out from Southern California in mid-July is always tricky because no matter what direction you go, it’s bound to be hot! When we left …
We just finished a short (2-week) trip exploring a small portion of the California coastline. If you’ve read our blog posts before, or taken a look at our About Us section, you know that it’s all about the critters for us, though of course we also delight in gorgeous scenery, …
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! …
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 …
This was our fifth trip to Yellowstone in five years, so we didn’t feel a need to run around and do everything. We could be strategic and prioritize a few things we had not done before, plus focus on wildlife sightings. If you read our Glacier post, you know how …
During Week 4 of our West Coast/Rocky Mountain RV trip, we crossed Idaho and entered Montana, delighting in the mountains and trees of I-90. Our night in Missoula gave us a chance to find a good barbecue place, and the Notorious P.I.G. fit the bill (though no ribs were available …
