This is the farthest we've ever taken this Airstream north ( 51°11′0.62″N). In mid-October at this latitude, our solar panels still generate some power, but not nearly enough to compensate . . .

It should be no surprise that it is cold here. Every morning we have heavy frost on the ground and the snow we see at the mountain peaks is in no danger of melting. But during the day the sun has been . . .

Things are turning around. The makers of our disc brake actuator, Active Technologies , came through promptly with some good news this morning. They have a few refurbished units which match ours, and . . .

Just down Route 101 from Warrenton we found another little surprise, Sunset Beach State Recreation Area . Just take a westerly turn and drive until you hit the sand (just past the . . .

During our stay in Visalia, Roger mentioned a few places to camp in Paso Robles and Pismo Beach. I was considering them all until he mentioned that in Pismo Beach, if we drove past the commercial campgrounds . . .

We have begun to enter vacation mode. Although we are still loosely connected to the rest of the world via cell phones and Internet, we are all trying to ignore that and succumb to the illusion that we . . .

Acting on a tip from a blog reader, we drove over to Pipe Spring National Monument in nearby Fredonia AZ. It’s only about 25 miles from Kanab, but with all the BIG national monuments and parks . . .

I like driving Route 13 up the eastern seashore. The road is smooth, level, and lightly trafficked. All through the tow the Nissan hummed steadily as it tugged the Airstream through quiet green countryside . . .

When met Rick on the road at Escalante a couple of days ago, he told us he was coming out of Bryce Canyon and heading for Capitol Reef. We exchanged tips about the respective parks, but his warnings . . .

On our first visit to the south rim of the Grand Canyon (last year) we restricted our hiking to the rim. Rim hikes are generally easy, without any real elevation gain or loss, and they are a great . . .

Kansas has one huge advantage over other states. Most people who come here have terribly low expectations (”it’s flat”, “it’s boring”) so it is easy to be delighted . . .

We left Wilson Lake under gray skies and light rain. We had hoped to take a “blue highway” north of I-70 to take in some scenery and small towns, but the weather became so dismal in showery . . .

Yesterday’s list included some of our all-time favorite state parks. Those are defined as ones that we would go out of our way to visit again. But there are many others that have been really great. . . .

Last night it rained over most of the Rocky Mountains, and this left a handsome dusting of snow atop the highest peaks. We didn’t notice this until we pulled out of Aurora and began the gradual winding . . .

Thermopolis has been one of those places that is so unusual that we are willing to overlook all kinds of inconveniences to have the chance to explore it. The campground we are in is a tiny wedge of land . . .

From Thermopolis to Cody is only 84 miles but it could seem longer if you don’t enjoy the Wyoming countryside. It’s dry rolling hills all the way, with few towns and a lot of open space. Fortunately, . . .

It must have been the excitement of being here, because Eleanor and I were both wide awake at 5 a.m., lying there in our comfortable warm bed while frost covered the bedroom windows, and we could not manage . . .
