Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.
The Window Over the Desert. Top Story - June 2022.
We woke up at a decent hour and made breakfast, packed up camp and got ready to head to the basin. We wanted to do the Window Trail, a roughly 6-mile round trip from the parking lot by the lodge. Depending on how my hip would feel after that, we had our eyes on either the Lost Mine Trail or the Boot Canyon Trail after lunch. But first and foremost we wanted to err on the side of caution and relaxation. It was our last easy day before we began the Chisos Mountain Loop (a combination of several trail segments for a total length of almost 17 miles).

Boquillas, Border Town Without a Border
We woke up a little bit after sunrise. It felt good, having slept in the cool night air without the fly on the tent. Even though both our bags are much warmer than we needed, even as exposed as we were, it was nice to have the cooler air on my face. And nice to wake up relatively free of sand. Of course there’s no escape from the sand entirely.

Overnight Hiking the Marufo Vega Trail
My alarm went off a little before 6a. A coyote yipped and howled in a pattern that almost matched that of my alarm. Ian and I lay in the tent for another hour after the coyote stopped, worried that the sound of the alarm may have drawn its interest. The day before us was going to be a busy one. Ian dressed and headed up to the car to begin getting breakfast ready. I stayed down at the bottom of the hill and broke down our campsite, packing everything into the appropriate carry sacks and brought it all to the car. We packed our big backpacks while we ate.

Finishing the Marufo Vega Trail and Admitting Defeat. Top Story - June 2022.
Woke up hot, sticky and dusted with a fine layer of sand. I didn’t get a good night’s rest at all. Tossed and turned all night. The wind whipped the walls of the tent around and I had to tuck myself deep into my sleeping bag to keep from getting the grit in my eyes and mouth. When we woke up, we opened the doors of the tent, the air having gone still somewhere in the predawn hours and the humidity set in. There were tracks from the horses all around our tent. We packed up, trying our best to shake the sand from everything before stuffing it into our backpacks.

My Top 3 Favorite RV Parks in Northern Florida
If you've been following me, we sold our 43' Toy Hauler, which is affectionately named Big Perm. We've loved Perm, but we decided that we want to live even more minimally. As a result, we headed to Port St. Lucie, Florida, where we purchased our next RV, Large Marge.

Niagara Falls–Worth The Trip?
For quite a long time Niagara Falls has been one of the most well known traveler objections in the United States and Canada. Guests from abroad and North America apparently can't shake their craving to visit this sensational sea-going scene. Be that as it may, why precisely? The falls are not especially advantageous to any major U.S. city (statements of regret to Buffalo), and that implies guests to the US will require somewhere around two days to fit in a visit to Niagara. Moreover next to the real falls themselves, there is minimal in the method of social or normal focal points nearby. That is except if you consider a visit to Ripleys Believe it or Not to be a social encounter. At last, the environment in the Niagara district is somewhat overwhelming for a large part of the year. The region gets a ton of precipitation consistently and winter is certainly rough around there.

We have become a zombie country
It began at my arrival at LAX Terminal 5 – the painful experience of flying. Arriving after a 6 hour flight over the breakfast and lunch hours and only getting a warm cup of apple juice and a few pretzels was just the beginning. I needed to meet a group at Terminal 7. There were no signs at Terminal 5, just people wearing masks standing around. The information booth sat there in plain sight, empty, like many of the hopes and dreams of the people who live in this world through this Covid and inflation crises depending on the authorities and governments to take care of them. I stood, suitcase in hand, looking around and then decided to try to walk to Terminal 7.

Pioneer Village: A wonder hidden in small town Nebraska
Unless you know me personally, I'm going to guess that most of you reading this have no idea where Minden, Nebraska is. With a population of less than 3,000, and only a handful of good places to eat, it is often not on people's radar. However, this is where I was born and raised.
