Monday 14 July
This is a top pick! Monday 14h July We are heading towards the edge of Iowa today and up towards the I 90 which is the Interstate that heads out of Iowa and into South Dakota. This will also briefly take us into Minnesota but not for long enough for us to ...
Day Seven!

Inspired by North Carolina!

Logan State Park
It may not suprise some of you to learn that we were rejected from entering Canada! No problem with passports or visas. Something more trivial! We had four cases of wine with us worth $1500 and they were going to charge us 85% tax on ...
Marion Mass..near Cape Cod

Back Home

Hot & bothered
After my night in my self inflicted sauna, I set of just before 7am in the knowledge that I had a sneaky short cut. My maps were sending me North to Eureka and then down to West Glacier for a 145m 2 day round trip, I discovered that staying on my trusty ...
Why North Carolina Is Beautiful!!!!
Hi Vernae, My old friend Mickey Spangler showed up this morning at 08:30AM for a trip to Mount Mitchell. I haven't been there in 50 years. It was a step back in time. A mountain doesn't change much mind you, but everything seemed just ...
Day with the McEnroes
Chris and Kathy spent 2008 on exchange at TAS, and it is wonderful to see the school they 'exchanged' from. The campus is beautiful. See http://www.taboracademy.org/ Chris wasn't teaching today, so the McEnroes took us out to explore ...
Last Entry--Top 10 List
I think there is a Top Ten list, a la David Letterman, of of evidence that one has gone Colonel Kurtz. (If you don't know who Colonel Kurtz is, you should not be going to Asia.) Here's mine. 10. You sit with your feet not pointed and you ...
Dinner Party!

Asheville-Savannah Starting Day
We started our vacation/5th Honeymoon at 8:30 a.m. on 15 Feb 08. We left with bicycles on the back of the Trailblazer and snow in the background. But look at the smile on Belinda's face.... We went through Berea, Kentucky and stopped for ...
School and Boston

Getting to Marion
We left Niagara via the road by the river, down from the falls, to show Eliza and Baz the rapids, floral clock and the autumn colours that Tim and Berenice had glimpsed the day before. We were early enough to keep one stop ahead of the ...

And the RV has arrived...
So when we left Gainesville yesterday at 530pm, the idea was that we could hopefully get to South Carolina and find a hotel for the night to crash in. This seemed rather unlikely as we crossed into Georgia just after 11pm. However, after several redbulls ...

Sydney.....

Stupid Cat
Since the Karen incident in Blountville, we decided to shove her in a cat carrier while on the road so she wouldn't have all day to tear at whatever makeshift window covering I came up with and jump out. So now she lays in the carrier, hating us ...

Marion, AL
Marion is a small, picturesque college town with shady lanes winding through old, quiet neighborhoods. Every block has its own nicely manicured church with a pristine white steeple, and on this pretty Saturday morning old and young folk alike were ...
