This 13-day journey to Namibia in late June and July checks off a few of our bucket-list items. Read on for our story and watch the video created by Pangolin Photo Safaris: Pangolin Express Video Link (18 minutes). We were on the move most of the time so this story…
When you think of The Grand Canyon, you probably think of the super-busy South Rim Visitor’s Center with wide Canyon overlooks and plenty of services available. This would be our first visit to the North Rim Grand Canyon that typically only 10 percent of the visitors venture out to see.…
This unusual National Monument was first planned as a destination on our route coming out of Tempe, Arizona in January on the way to Carlsbad Caverns and onward to Florida. Sadly, at that time, White Sands National Monument was closed during the government shutdown over Mr. Trump’s border-wall funding. It…
Bottomless Lakes State Park Bottomless Lakes State Park is a beautiful place just 14 miles outside of Roswell, New Mexico. The blue-green lakes are sinkholes ranging from 17 to 90 feet deep. Fed by springs, the lakes overflow to wetlands areas that had just finished providing respite for migrating birds…
My love affair with Texas wildflowers continued into our next three-night stay April 27 at San Angelo State Park, in Western Texas. Large pull-through sites next to the O.C. Reservoir had good hiking trails and a bird blind next to the campground to explore. Most of the trails in the…
April 24th finds us back in Texas at Lake Whitney State Park for three nights the week after Easter. Very happy to be using our State Park Pass and enjoying the beautiful Texas parks once again! Shreveport Louisiana KOA the night before was just an expensive one-night stop at $46.76…
A festive three-night stay from April 20th over Easter at Paul B Johnson State Park just outside Hattiesburg, Mississippi Made me a little homesick for family. There was a buzz in the air with joyful activity and lots of laughing. It seemed a favorite pastime was riding around in golf…

A consolation for leaving the Keys behind April 8th is knowing we are coming back next year. As usual, moving is bittersweet. I am sad to leave one place and happy to experience the next place. This time it’s The Everglades a beautifully diverse place with lots of wildlife.
Three months ago we decided to head to Florida so Bruce could share the Keys, Dry Tortugas National Park and The Everglades National Park with me. He was here after completing his Masters at University of Miami in 1993. Campground reservations in the Keys were not available until April 1st.…

Morning highlights the red dunes, dark shadows and ghostly trees.
