I can not tell a lie or Cherry Creek State Park here we come

We struck out at our usual time 9:30 ish which usually gets us to our next stop mid afternoon. The weather continued to be beautiful and without difficulty made it to Denver. I thought we had seen traffic but even though it was Sunday the roads were packed. But no fender benders or near missesContinue reading “I can not tell a lie or Cherry Creek State Park here we come”

Boot Hill or Bust

The beautiful weather followed us and with days in the 90’s behind and before us we headed out to see the famous of infamous Dodge City. The road wasnt bad in most places but like everywhere on this trip lots of construction and narrow lanes. Looking at some of bridges being replaced I am happyContinue reading “Boot Hill or Bust”

Deer Creek or Topeka Kansas here we come

Well we left St Louis for an overnight in Topeka on the way to Dodge City. We had beautiful weather for our travel day but both Jo and I must be allergic to soy bean pollen as we were both sneezing. Unusual for Jo not for Allergy Bill. I even broke down and took AllegraContinue reading “Deer Creek or Topeka Kansas here we come”

St. Louis the second time

We left Indianapolis a little later than usual because the day’s trip was only 4 1/2 hours. Feeling rested and raring to go we set off with the weather forecast for our next stop showing sun! If accurate it would be the first day in about a week that we would get to see thatContinue reading “St. Louis the second time”

On the road again

With the swamp creature in our rear view mirror (actually the Airstream is in my rear view) we headed out in rain showers for our next stop…Indianapolis, Indiana. The effects of Helene on the weather even in Western PA all the way to Indiana were very apparent with lots of rain. Im getting old clearlyContinue reading “On the road again”

On to wait …… still in Pennsylvania?

Having grown up in New England, where you can visit all the New England states in a day, it always amazes me when we drive all day and end up in the same state for our next stop but that’s Day 2 in a nutshell. Our day one heading west started out in the rainContinue reading “On to wait …… still in Pennsylvania?”

Westward Ho the first leg of the trip and a Happy Birthday

We actually left right at the planned time of 6 AM. A new record for us. This was after an immense amount of cleaning and winterizing our Maine home. Jo is very particular about cleanliness at all times but when we leave and when we arrive home its all hands on deck and a cleanContinue reading “Westward Ho the first leg of the trip and a Happy Birthday”

There’s gold in them that hills (well sort of)

I’m tardy in publishing this but mid July this year my childhood friend Bryan and I went to northern NH to camp and pan for gold. I know all the gold shows seem to be centered around California, points west and Alaska. But there is gold in NH in some of streams. Not commercially viableContinue reading “There’s gold in them that hills (well sort of)”

Better late than never and this campground was definitely Better

I keep meaning to post this because of the great time we had and the great campground but stuff kept happening. This trip was a trip to Disney World and the Magic Kingdom at the end of February with My daughter Jess and her husband Brian and our grandchildren Conan and Ella. As you mayContinue reading “Better late than never and this campground was definitely Better”

Better late then never

Well it’s been a while since I wrote but for a retired guy life has been very busy. I’ve been retired a little over two years and enjoying every minute of it. That said after the first 6-12 months I began to feel a need to do something. I was recruited to work at anContinue reading “Better late then never”
