Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
We have returned from a 2 ½ week RV trip to the California Bay area and the Central Coast over the Christmas holidays. While we are currently dealing with the Southern California wildfires, it is healing to reflect on the beautiful places and unique animals we saw just a short …
We were sad to leave Jasper National Park after such fantastic wildlife viewing. But the drive south on the Icefields Parkway that connects Jasper and Banff was stunning on a sunny day. We stopped briefly to view the toe of the Athabasca Glacier. (We had actually walked out on the …
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, …
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 …

When last we visited New Brunswick (three weeks ago), we concentrated on the coast of the Bay of Fundy (see “Fundy Fun Days” post). After visiting Prince Edward Island, we now had the chance to explore the northeastern coast of New Brunswick, which is heavily French-speaking/Acadian. Back in the 1600s, …
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 …
July 2018 — This national park is right on the Canadian border (with Minnesota) and without a boat, it’s a little challenging to explore, but we managed. There are no campgrounds you can reach, except by boat, so we stayed just outside the park in The Pines of Kabetogama Resort, which …
July 2018 — Visiting the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) was a dream that Hank had had for over 30 years. While we didn’t feel up to a 2-week canoe-packing trip (nor could we have left the cats alone in the motorhome), we still wanted to experience this outdoor adventure …
