    After driving my RV north from Temecula to Bishop in April, I traveled to Washington State (see Skagit Valley Tulip Festival posted May 7); after returning via Reno, went south to Las Vegas for another adventure. Leaving Harvey the RV behind, I took Tracker to Las Vegas to meet some photography friends in order to…

    The last few weeks have been an almost constant whirl of activity-hence the lack of posts to my blog. Washing and waxing the RV, coating the roof with UV protector, putting air in the tires, getting ready for the trip north to Bishop. My friend Carol took me on a hike to the Santa Rosa…

    I love signs, you may see more posts about them as I keep taking photos of them. I was amazed at these signs when I first started driving out here: Then going back down[/caption] Wild Horses, just after this sign, I saw this poor looking wild horse [/caption] Time to travel to a warmer climate.…

    After leaving New Orleans, the rest of my trip has been driving, driving. I was going to stop and see Cousins Carol and John in Phoenix, but I realized I wouldn’t have time, I’ll catch up with them later. Texas is a BIG state, 880 miles across with the route I chose. I left central…

    After leaving Mississippi, I drove into Louisiana and started over the miles and miles of causeway above Lake Ponchartrain. Having flown into New Orleans previously, I’ve not experienced the 23 miles of water, cypress, shanties, boats, birds and sun. Unfortunately, my arrival was timed wrong and I started hitting rush hour traffic. Driving a big…

    After leaving Alabama on September 18, I traveled across the state to pick up the Natchez Trace Parkway. I wanted to get as far as the Jeff Busby National Park campground, and because I’d puttered about waiting for the roads to clear of traffic and fog and wetness and then decided to have lunch with…

    My second morning in the Smokies looked like it would have been my best shot at lovely sunrises, clear skies, but alas, there were other things on my agenda: Through every fault of my own, I nearly ripped out the post at the end of Dave’s driveway on Monday with Harvey (after bragging how close…

    I crossed into North Carolina from Virginia on Friday the 7th. I arrived at Uncle Dave’s around 3:00. He has one of the narrowest driveway entrances I’ve ever attempted. I only had to remove the Colts flag from one the entrance posts, and I squeezed by with about an inch to spare-but I didn’t hit…

    Traveling down the road today certainly brought a lot of thoughts to mind – mainly because I ALWAYS listen to books on cd, but alas, I had to return my books and cd’s to the library Tuesday. But it was good to ponder these past few days. Saying goodbye to all my friends and relatives…
