Exploring Montana: A Two-Month Adventure Across The Treasure State
It is hard to know where to start when describing our visit to The Treasure State. Due to its large size, diverse geography, and amazing history it is difficult to summarize our experience. Our recent visit lasted about two months and we stayed in eight different cities. We spent most of our time in the…

Medora!
Once again we discovered a place that many people knew about but one we had never heard of. If you suffer from anxiety induced by the fear of missing out (like I sometimes do) then finding such a place is not always encouraging because because there are likely additional places just like this one that…

Serendipity
One of the real upsides to traveling as we do is that we are constantly in search of the unexpected. Sometimes this is good but sometimes this is bad (not going to mention the bad in this post). We do a lot of planning so we basically know what lies over that next crest in…

L’Étoile du Nord (The Star of the North)
My great-grandfather sold his house in Maine, encouraged his wife to move, and during the fall of 1881, they left their hometown so he could seek his fortune in the west. At the time the west was Minnesota, Minneapolis specifically. His experience in the lumber business made the transition a natural one because the lumber…

OMG! We’ve turned into tourists
In Texas, they are called La Turistas, well…maybe that is what I and perhaps some others call them. Speaking for all of Texas is rather presumptuous of me. La Turistas are the people who come to your town for the shopping, the river, or a theme park. During their weekend or vacation, they spend money,…

Sister, brother and RV’s
In late 2021, we completed our first year of travel on the road and we started to talk about what we might need to change if we were to continue traveling. We both agreed that although our RV was adequate for living in short term it was limited in how it rode. The home part…

Heading to Texas
After a life-changing visit to Maine, we pointed the old RV west toward Texas. We weren’t in a hurry to get there, however, so we made a couple of stops along the way. The first stop was to visit the Gettysburg battleground where Danforth Maxcy was wounded and subsequently lost his life. Gettysburg is an…

On the road again
Cannot wait to get on the road again…Willie Nelson (and us of course). [Editor’s note: When I add a new post, I also try to upload pictures that are associated with that entry. Feel free to visit the bottom of the Photos page to see them.] [Editor’s note: Also, I have added a few paragraphs…

COLORADO!
After a long June moving across a very warm and dry New Mexico we settled in for several weeks of extremely pleasant weather in Colorado. We started our visit to the Centennial State with a stay in Southwest Colorado. We found an RV park, a little off the main road and a few miles from…
