AT THE BASE OF UTAH’S MOUNT TIMPANOGAS lies Sundance Mountain Resort. For half a century this has been a haven for creative souls and for over a decade, a quiet, solitude stop for me whenever we are in the area. Founded by Robert Redford in 1969 as a home for creativity whether in film, artContinue reading “Sundance Serenity”

THE GEESE ARE FLYING SOUTH, therefore, it’s time to roll west! We’ve enjoyed our time discovering the midwest but all good things must come to an end as we roll to California. Our evenings are not all campfires and conveniences. We’ve been known to occupy a WalMart parking lot; we’ve pulled over on the sideContinue reading “Time to roll west!”

DU BOIS, WYOMING….no French spoken here, just plain and simple…Dew Boyz! While not a thriving town as others have been, this hamlet of 1,000 people has something no other town has and that’s an incredible, over-the-top, outstanding, heart-touching National Museum of Military Vehicles. Sound boring? I thought so, too, but as appraisers of all thingsContinue reading “Another amazing town with a surprise!”

TWO NOUNS THAT GO WELL TOGETHER brought us to Buffalo, Wyoming in early August. How could you pass up a western town with that moniker? However, when we arrived, little did we know that mystery author, Craig Johnson, resides in this town. Doesn’t ring a bell? How about fictional Absaroka County and Sheriff Walt Longmire?Continue reading “A surprise find”

And this season brought our family to Minnesota to say farewell to David Schneider. David is my daughter, Miranda’s, father; Jack & Lauren’s Papa, a friend to many, and my first love.

TUCKED AWAY IN THE BLINK-AND-YOU’LL-MISS-IT TOWN OF CLEAR LAKE, MINNESOTA you’ll find the Minnesota Airstream Park. This bucolic, spacious park, with about 120 Airstreams, has been attracting Airstream owners since its inception in 1970. Jim and I have been enjoying this park for the past decade and this week decided to make it a permanentContinue reading “Minnesota bound!”

JUST WHEN I DIDN’T THINK I COULD LOVE THIS GUY ANY MORE THAN I ALREADY DO….BOOM! Thanks to an 18-wheeler who gave us a nod, we pulled over and were met with our first blow out in 16 years! Ready for this?? On an Interstate, check! Rush hour/big city, check! 12-hour driving day, check! AfterContinue reading “Uh oh!”

REMEMBER THAT MAGIC TICKET into Glacier National Park? We put it to great use! Within Glacier National Park there is a simply amazing road which connects West Glacier (closest to Whitefish, MT where we camped) to East Glacier. This road is known as the Going-To-The-Sun Road and is so spectacular it made the National RegisterContinue reading “The Magic Ticket!”

WHITEFISH, MONTANA is a sweet mountain ski/hike/bike/kayak town located just south of the Canadian border and a short 30-minute drive east to Glacier National Park. Some of our national treasures, like GNP, are on a lottery system to enter these days. If you have a secured campsite (resvs made months ahead!) or booked a boatContinue reading “Montana’s mountains are calling”

AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO OUR FIFTH MONTH living life in our Airstream, in our rearview mirror is Idaho’s panhandle and Farragut State Park. Once a naval training station it is now Idaho’s largest state park. On the southern tip of Lake Pend Oreille (think: pon der ray), which is 43 miles long and upContinue reading “The Beauty of Idaho”
