Here we are in a rock quarry, boondocking alongside the highway on the western side of Newfoundland. In front of Arcturus, just across the highway, are the waters of the Strait of Belle Isle. Just across this narrow strip of water, (20 kilometers on the map) is the coast of Labrador. I am just now watching a large cargo ship heading south through the strait. It looks insignificant beneath the mountains of Labrador. Read More

Romantic Quebec:
July 2, 2005
The antithesis of Urban Montréal is Romantic Quebec. Of course we just walked around inside the fortified city that grew up in the 1700′s. We had flashbacks to our introduction to the old-world flavor of our two vacations in France in 1990 and 1999. The streets are narrow and crooked. The cars park on the sidewalk. If a truck is delivering something it simply blocks the whole street. Read More
It’s Just Incredible.
January 23, 2005
Here we are at a rally for people with the same brand of motor home as we have; an Alpine. We are in Quartzsite, Arizona. This is a somewhat flat stretch of the Sonora Desert. This is where a rather large group of “Snow Birds” hang out for the winter. They camp out on the desert on BLM land. Read More
Just what is a Tuzigoot anyway?
October 31, 2004
Ah well! It is a name “we” have given to the site of the dwellings of an ancient culture in north central Arizona. We call the people Sinaqua which is Spanish for “without water.” They irrigated crops and built masonary, above ground, dwellings. They lived here from perhaps 1100 to 1400 AD and were long gone when the Spanish entered the valley in 1583. Read More
What’s so fascinating about a big hole in the ground?
October 24, 2004
We made it over the hills to Springdale Utah right at the entrance to Zion National Park. We spent three days there and finally got to ride up to the end of the canyon. It was about ten miles and 300 ft of elevation gain, so it really wasn’t a bad ride. Read More
Classic Air-Sea and Land Fly-in at Roache Harbor.
September 2, 2004
We had a great time at the Classic Air-Sea and Land Fly-in at Roache Harbor. There were a few classic aircraft at the little airport right there at the resort. Read More
The night at the motel that just didn’t happen:
July 17, 2004
We caught a severe weather warning for central Montana on the radio of Friday afternoon. That gave us the brilliant idea that now was the time to do a motel room. Our target community was Bozeman. Read More
Where in the World are Gary and Judy:
July 6, 2004
Hey we are back on the road after hiding out over the July 4th weekend with Jerry and Janene Tice. They live about 20 miles from Springfield Illinois. Read More
