KC Wedding – Adventure Cycling Texas Hill Country, Part One
April 5 – 14 And so, spring rolled around, and we began nearly three months of travel, two in the States and one in Europe. First up would be the road trip, which we will break down into segments that will culminate with our nephew Dillon’s wedding on May 14th in Kansas City. The first […]

East Coast Fall 2021 – Portales to Flagstaff
November 18-21 With a long day of driving ahead of us, likely close to ten hours, we made sure to get an early start from Portales. The donuts we’d purchased and hastily consumed combined with some high-test coffee fueled the first part of the drive and before we knew it we passed some signs indicating […]

ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Fourteen
June 24 – July 26, 2021 The next morning, we arose early, packed up and drove over to the Nevada Northern Railway Museum situated at the East Ely Yards. They were designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2006 and the site was cited as one of the best-preserved early 20th-century railroad yards in the […]

Fall Western States, Part One
October 19 – 21, 2020, November 2 – 13, 2020 We returned home from Buellton on Sunday and the very next day drove to Henderson to spend three nights at Kim and Marty’s place along with Jessica, Kris and little Gemma. With one exception, we’d stay close to the house spending quality time together as […]

Arizona Sojourn, Part Five
September 9 – 20, 2020 Our plan for this day would be to have breakfast nearby, then head to Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments and finish by driving to Kim and Marty’s in Henderson. After checking out of the Weatherford we managed the short distance back to the area we’d visited the night […]

Arizona Sojourn, Part Four
September 9 – 20, 2020 Finished with our meal, we got back on the road and began the drive to Flagstaff and we wound our way up Highway 89A through Oak Creek Canyon. As it was a Saturday, there was a lot of traffic on the road, which was lined on both sides with parked […]

Arizona Sojourn, Part Three
September 9 – 20, 2020 Our shopping stop was at Clark’s Market, which we’d checked out the day before after dinner. We decided that for our meal that night we’d pick up some prepared dishes from the deli counter and eat in the apartment. This is a big attractive supermarket, kind of a cross between […]

Arizona Sojourn, Part Two
September 9 – 20 Satiated after our Machaca burrito, we got cleaned up and hopped in the car to start our driving tour of the area. We found the route at Sedona.Net and would make good use of it over the course of a couple of days. Our first stop would be back at the […]

Arizona Sojourn, Part One
September 9 – 20 August blew by in a hurry, with lots of bike riding, a visit to Oakland to see Jessica, Kris and Gemma, and then a fun Labor Day when sister Bev, nephew Jed and his friend Shikerra came to see us at home. We soon thereafter set out for another ten-day trip […]

Southern Arizona Sunsets Bike Tour, Part Three
October 18 – 27 We left Tombstone on a clear morning with blue skies that would follow us all day. We decided not to stop in the downtown area (if you could call it that) to see the tourist street, multiple blocks of recreated late 1870’s cowboy town playing off the famous shoot out at […]
