We’re on our way to Yellowstone for the next five days. Last night we stopped in tiny campground just off Highway 20 in Rexburg, Idaho. We were welcomed with black skies, high winds and lots of rain. But we had plenty of electricity to create a delicious stove-top dinner. Our dinner last night was a [...]
Read more →I lived in Salt Lake City from about 1964 until I graduated from Skyline high school in 1966. In that time, you would think a peripatetic family like ours would have visited and viewed everything of interest in the area. On this trip to SLC I’ve visited several venues for the first time ever. Last [...]
Read more →The view from the campground was certainly much nicer than the campground itself. But it was our get-a-way night, and Redding was on the way. Goose Lake State Park, just across the northeastern border of California. Double Dice RV Park, Elko, NV. A cement and gravel RV jungle….but if you have never spent a couple [...]
Read more →…we started our trip journals. As we depart Elko,Nevada today we will be keeping historical notes in book number five. After our wedding in July of 1980 we left Menlo Park, Ca. to drive to Northern Michigan. We kept notes on a yellow legal pad of our mileage, locations, restaurants and meals, and of exactly [...]
Read more →One trait I would like to acquire in the coming months on the road is the ability to discover the unusual, while looking for the mundane. We started the day with a short list of tasks, some fun (we hoped), some necessary for the road. We needed gas and groceries. We wanted to find a [...]
Read more →Into the wild, blue yonder…rising high, into the sun. That’s sort of the way you feel as you go up and over the three passes that get you from the coast to the inland valley. We pulled the trigger half a day early and left after noon. A couple of hours found us in Weaverville, [...]

Just so everyone knows that I am watching…here is the” before” picture of the back hillside. This is the current view from our kitchen, dining room and deck. This hillside [...]
Read more →We’re about a week and a half away from the Great Departure. It seems like I’ve been making this trip for the last four or five months…going over the maps, looking at the camping books, measuring the driving days, looking at the area’s attractions, checking the campgrounds, going back over the maps, thinking about the [...]
Read more →We’re counting down to our big adventure. Eleven days until we hit the road. Sure…LOTS of people have trailers and take off for months at a time, but this certainly is something I didn’t think I would ever be doing. But when I looked in the rear view mirror last weekend it became a reality. [...]
Read more →There will be a Part III of this quilt report…..because this awesome project is not quite done. To get your self up to speed, a group of eight quilters got together to share in the creation of a group project (click on the word project). Each quilter got a thumbnail section of 1/8th of a [...]
