oday was a lazy morning as our drive wasn't too long and we just wanted to have an easy day of it. We made coffee and breakfast and watched a bit of local news before stowing everything and getting set to travel. Harper and I had

Morning seemed to come too early, and we had a ferry to catch. It didn't take us to long to get organized and we were soon heading down the. . .

Another cloudless beautiful day greeted us as we made preparations to get underway and head out toward Plattsburgh, NY, our destination for the evening. We had a good breakfast, made the bed and brought in

Morning in Wellesley Island State Park was glorious. We had another of those retirement mornings where time means nothing and slept in a bit. We had a faint but usable. . .

We are underway once again. We started a journey north to see foliage and just escape the day to day at home. The Doodle is running well and has had it maintenance done, the fridge and pantry are packed and Harper is in her bed between the seats as we roll out of Rhode Island and head toward Lowville New York. As we headed up Route 146 in Rhode Island we began to see color, right from the start. As we moved onto Route 90. . .

After a great night sleep in the casino parking lot we got an early-ish start. We headed for the Mississippi and a diner we had found over in East Moline, Illinois. Smokey's Country Diner did not

Nebraska! Leaving Sidney we drove straight east and the day started with a very strong wind blowing out of the south. For the first hour or so we . . .

Leaving Napa Valley and the Leisure Travel Van Group was a bit sad but the morning was filled with chores. Grocery shopping, a stop at pet store for Harper (she needed a new tag) and I needed a new power supply for my computer because some nameless family member chewed through. . .

Where do I start this one... a couple of months ago, after we purchased our Leisure Travel Van, we joined the Leisure travel Van owners group which posts LTV events that are happening around . . .

After a good night's sleep in the Redwoods we got an early start to drive the Avenue of the Giants. This road is a 32 mile stretch of the old Highway 101 which is a . . .

I am currently sitting in a campground in a Redwood Forest trying to catch up with my ramblings. The day before we left Portland I put on a. . .

We made it to Portland and Jason a few days ago, just getting to the post now as we have had poor wifi but more than that we have all been socializing and touring and . . .

We are members of a service called Harvest Host. For a very reasonable fee we can enjoy ‘free’ nights at hundreds of vineyards, farms, museums and even golf coursed. The stay is free, typically with not services like electric or water, but free is good. However we always . . .

It has been a couple of longish travel days coming up to Oregon from Arches and Moab, and of course not without incident. We had a side grille that covers the …

We certainly have a lot to catch up on. Having been without connections to the outside world of any kind, I procrastinated away too much writing time and have fallen way behind. When I last wrote to you…

I rushed the post last night so am adding some more pix this morning. We are moving to Mesa Verde today and will not have any wifi for a few days . .

Today we got on the road in good time and began the log drive to Durango where we had made reservations for the evening. My friend Rob called and he said it right, the drive…

Everything worked out ok at the Mercedes place, we fueled up and headed off toward the sunset once more with plans of finding a roadside stop along the way. We found another Cracker Barrel in Topeka, but once we got there

Lots has happened since I last wrote a few days ago. When we left my older brothers' house in Lincoln, Illinois we headed toward the state capitol in Springfield in search of. . .
