As many people in the South, I have been stuck at home this week, in cold rainy weather and it has left me longing for winter in Arizona. We visited a few areas around Phoenix last winter and discovered what I feel like I was actually meant to be.........retired. Seriously though, I completely understand why … Continue reading Arizona Winter – Desert Beauty & American Ruins

Carlsbad in the Off Season
As we approach what is normally considered the "off season" for camping and tourist destinations I thought I would share my experience of visiting Carlsbad New Mexico and Carlsbad Caverns National Park in March 2022, as precautionary tale for anyone who, like me, thinks it would be better to go when there are less people. … Continue reading Carlsbad in the Off Season
A Year In the T@B and Many Adventures
I can't believe it's been a year since I upgraded from my NuCamp T@G to the NuCamp T@B 320, but more importantly, I can't believe it's been 9 months since I wrote about travel and camping. It hasn't been from a lack of adventures because we have made multiple trips in the new T@B and … Continue reading A Year In the T@B and Many Adventures
Walnut Canyon Arizona – Unexpected Ruins in the US
When I was in Arizona I stumbled upon one of the most interesting historic sites I've been too, but had never heard of, Walnut Canyon National Monument. It is actually a National Park and you can get in free with a National Parks pass, but not what you think of being called a "monument." Surprisingly … Continue reading Walnut Canyon Arizona – Unexpected Ruins in the US
Arizona – So Much More Than Desert
While on my Southwest trip I spent a week in Flagstaff Arizona. Part of the goal was to visit The Grand Canyon again but I also wanted to visit some of the other area attractions I didn't have time for the last time I was there. Flagstaff has a special meaning because it's really where … Continue reading Arizona – So Much More Than Desert
Moab Utah – The Desert in August
While I was in Utah I did spend a lot of my time at Arches National Park, but I stayed that week in Moab and also visited other attractions in the area. It was a little bit different type of stay than I normally do, but it was nice. I stayed at the Canyonlands RV … Continue reading Moab Utah – The Desert in August
The Arches National Park
In August of 2021 I finally made it Utah to see some of the National Parks that have been on my bucket list. I knew about the vastness of Canyonlands and that it's on a scale with the Grand Canyon, but I was not prepared for how unique and beautiful The Arches is. While it … Continue reading The Arches National Park
Animas Forks Colorado Ghost Town
If you have been a long time reader of this blog, you know I love architecture, so even though the Mandy Lea photography workshop was primarily waterfalls and wild flowers, I was happy we had part of a day shooting at the ghost town of Animas Forks, outside of Silverton Colorado. Like most of the … Continue reading Animas Forks Colorado Ghost Town
Frank Lloyd Wright Sites – Part 1
Let me start by saying that I did not label this "Part 1" in anticipation of continuing in my next blog post. It is optimism on my part that I will be able to travel and visit many more Frank Lloyd Wright sites and write about them. This post is about the three sites I … Continue reading Frank Lloyd Wright Sites – Part 1
Kentucky – Bourbon Country
One place I plan to go back post Covid is Kentucky. While I am glad I had the time and opportunity to travel in the summer of 2020, it was not the best time to visit Kentucky distilleries. For those who are not familiar, the state actually has a Kentucky Bourbon trail you can follow … Continue reading Kentucky – Bourbon Country
