Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
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 …
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 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 …

After our exploration of Grand Teton National Park, we headed to another of our happy places, Yellowstone National Park, also in Northwest Wyoming. For us, it’s all about the critters, so this fifth trip to Yellowstone was a delight for us. Hank had to drive our motorhome over the Continental …
Like most everyone else, we stayed home through the spring and early summer of 2020, cancelling previously-scheduled trips due to COVID-19. But by August, we felt we had to go somewhere, so we hopped in the motorhome with our two kitties and headed to Grand Teton National Park (GTNP). Because …
Since we can’t travel right now (June 2020), I’ve been creating blog posts for some of our trips prior to the creation of this blog. One of our absolute favorite trips was our African safari and dive trip in Tanzania in 2018. Here’s Part 1 of this fabulous experience! February …
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, …
