Rose
This is a top pick! On our way to Washington we had one final stop in Bend, Oregon to see Rose (another gapper). Although we only had a very short time to catch up we made the most of it. We didn't go anywhere, we just hung out and talked and ate. She's still as cute and ...

Back Home
We traveled all day Sunday and got to Chicago at the time we left Beijing, 4:00 pm. Time does strange things that way. On the flight home, my seatmates were two young men from Beijing who hadn't known each other before their trip. Both were from ...
Canyonlands National Park
This morning had a platypus shower – novel! Then visited Canyonlands National Park – again the most amazing scenery that stretches for miles and miles. Looking down into the canyon its almost impossible to get a grasp of the ...
Okay! He lets me drive sometimes!
... area so the crops are spotty in places, even destroyed. Although not far from our destination, we stop for the night in Great Bend. This allows us to arrive in Alva Oklahoma by noon tomorrow and gives the truckers the afternoon to unload ...
Wine and cheese, Wisco style!
In order to start seeing a new area Wednesday evening we moved hotels from the Waukesha area north to West Bend. Wednesday evening we ended up encountering absolutely torrential rainstorms. Rain so bad driving faster than 25mph on the interstate was ...
Cemetary with a View
Leaving The Dalles, OR to see what marvels await as I head into the agricultural part of the state. A new great view around every corner, I was barreling up a hill in hay country and I see a road heading up a hill and see gravestones out of the ...
The great Big Bend flood of 2008
So, as we mentioned in the last entry, Big Bend has been experiencing the worst flooding in memory, with water over 20 feet higher than normal. Of course, with flows like this, we had to get on the water to see it for ourselves. So we signed up for a ...
Adventures in Western Texas
... being part of a picture as the sky and landscape seemed like they couldn’t be real. We spent Monday exploring Big Bend. Christine was feeling a little under the weather so we opted for a short hike and a scenic drive. During our ...
Getting muddy in Big Bend
... still ravaging east Texas, we decided to stick to our original plan (in spite of expected bad weather) and head to Big Bend National Park, in the southwestern corner of Texas. This 'original plan' called for a pleasant canoe trip on the Rio Grande, which ...
Moving to Bend, Oregon!!
... Dad there?) We drove up I-5 until we crossed into Oregon, at which point we took Hwy 97 all the way to Bend. I had never driven this portion of the highway that wound through high-desert forests, farmland and Klamath Lake. Along the way I ...
The Golden Dome
I left the bounty known as White Pigeon and headed towards South Bend, IN. This was a turning point. On one hand I had hightailing it to Chicago on my mind. Devo was playing The Vic and I was going. I thought I'd get there early ...
Arches National Park
... of Land Management sites that are all along the Colorado River. Got a really nice secluded and partly sheltered one at the Big Bend Beach area. So, after setting up the tent and paying our 'honesty' dues, we visited Arches National Park. A lovely ...

Roughing it and loving it!
It was a long dry drive from Austin to Big Bend National Park. But the miles flew by with much of the posted speed 80MPH. One town along the way seemed like an interesting stop, Fredrickburg with German influenced shopping streets. But we had a way to go ...
Back to Bend, 4700 Miles
... nbsp; Have you ever been to a hotel that did that? We had an incredible breakfast and more savory coffee at Alpenglow in downtown Bend and, with our heads hanging low, we crawled into the car for one last long drive back to Sunnyvale. 4700 Miles 1 ...
Day 3 - Technology sucks!
It's been said that I am a "gadget guy". I will admit that there may be a little truth to that. It may be time to reevaluate. Each day starts with a route sheet. Map the days route on a computer using a combination of Google maps and Map My Ride. This ...
Summertime, and the Livin' is Easy
... that is the way to do it. We have traveled so much during the last year that we couldn't wait to get home to beautiful Bend, Oregon and spend time with our family, friends, and the great outdoors. Blue skies, clean air, stars, open space, forests, ...
Gorge Towns
The following day we attended the pancake breakfast at the fire station next to the RV park, had our hair cut at the park's beauty shop (truly a rarity for an RV park!), then traveled along the gorge through the Oregon towns of Bonneville, Cascade Locks, ...
Gorgeous Clackamas
... Mt. Hood in the distance, alone and majestic. At 4800 feet we drive through Santiam Pass and start the long road down, final destination Bend. We set up camp in Tumalo State Park. It is the weekend, there are so many people in the state parks we pass, we ...

Brother's House & Borders Books
Arriving at a little neighborhood train station in South Bend, Indiana, I wasn't sure where I was. I am used to South Bend being "Notre Dame" town -- bigger than life. A couple minutes later my brother pulled up. I haven't seen my ...
