When Jim and I explored the southwest during the winter of 2017, we bypassed Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe National Parks twice! On both occasions, the weather forecast called for cold temperatures (sub-freezing) and high winds. As we headed west this winter, I kept tracking… Continue Reading “2 Days, 2 Parks”
Spending quality time with family is the thing most precious to me. It sustains me in a way that is indescribable. Currently, my two grown children live about as far apart as you can get and still be in the lower forty-eight. One son… Continue Reading “Isle au Haut Family Time”

With Jim over from Vermont for a brief visit, we decided… Continue Reading “Tuesday Treks: Maine and New Brunswick”

This secluded cove is a welcome respite from the main attractions here… Continue Reading “Photo Challenge: Acadia: May 6”
