Pinehurst, North Carolina
May 4, 2018 We enjoyed a day visiting Pinehurst, NC, a beautiful little village with pretty houses, cute shops and good restaurants. We found some nice gifts in Le Feme Chateau. Deborah Myatt, the owner, is wonderful. Beautiful Italian handbags, handmade scarves, and many other items are designed by her. As she said, “not to…

Kearnie, Nebraska to Columbia, Missouri
Friday, November 3, 2014 We got off to a late start after I added DEF (diesel exhaust fluid, keeps the exhaust from smoking) to the truck, and put air in a couple of tires. Back on I80, we drove through Lincoln. Outside Omaha City we dropped down to I70 via I29, which is also a pretty drive. By…

Rawlins, Wy to Kearney RV Park, Nebraska
Thursday, November 2, 2017 People ask why I post several days at a time. Most of the time it is due to inadequate WIFI, so when I get to a good one, I can catch up. That might be a campground, a coffee shop or library. We were happy to wake up to winds that…

Drive Lakeview, Oregon to Wendover, Nevada
October 31, 2017 It was 27 degrees and windy when we got up, and we were feeling the need to get out of the Rockies. Looking up the top 10 things to do in Lakeview, we discovered there was a geyser right next door, so we hooked up and drove over. It’s a pretty cool…

Redwoods National Park
October 29, 2017 We stopped at Bakery by The Sea and got a muffin and some scones. Soon after we got there, a long line developed in this tiny shop. Then we headed south on 101 to the Redwoods National Park. A young ranger gave us suggestions of where to go. We drove the…

Seattle
October 1, 2017 Poor Martha. I just had to go see the fish hatchery in Issaguah. It’s October and the salmon should be running. Sure enough, these big fish were frantically trying to get over the dam or up the fish ladder. They open and close them at different times, harvest the eggs, then return…

Fishing The Bitterroot River with David Hufman
September 9, 2017 We drove 30 minutes to the Grizzly Hackle Fly Shop in Missoula to meet our guide at 7:00. We met David Hufman and did all the paperwork in the shop and put our rods in his Toyota truck. We drove south about 45 minutes to the Bitterroot River. We thought we were…

Fernie to Hungry Horse Reservoir
September 3, 2017 We got off to a leisurely start. Taking the trash and garbage to the disposal area, we found a man sorting recycling into different bags. Kelly struck up a conversation with this lean gentleman, probably in his 60’s named Holmes. He is an retired engineer, who had to go back to work…

Lakeview to The Columbia River on 101
Wednesday, August 16, 2017 I had about 5 1/2 hours to get to River’s End Campground across the Columbia River. Three days would have been better. At first I was in the mode of hitting the road and making time, but the road is more windy, up and down with one gorgeous overlook after another.…

Driving Across America on I-70 and I-80
Monday, July 10 – 14, 2017 Leaving Columbus, Ohio in the early morning rain, it was a bit hectic making the right turns in heavier traffic than I expected at 6:30. Once I got on I70, things settled out. Ohio and Indiana are beautiful country. Just turn the music on, set cruise control and relax.…
