KC Wedding – Adventure Cycling Texas Hill Country, Part Three
April 5 – 14 The next day at Jellystone we would be free to do what we wanted as there wasn’t a scheduled ride, just three optional ones for those looking for miles or to do some exploring. Otherwise, you could hang out in camp, or take a shuttle into nearby Fredericksburg. Joanna took off […]
KC Wedding – Adventure Cycling Texas Hill Country, Part Two
April 5 – 14 Each day of the bike tour starts out the same, that is arise earlier than one might want to, begin to break down the sleeping bags and pads, get some breakfast, and pack everything up to get it on the luggage truck in time to leave camp around 8am. Joanna and […]
KC Wedding – Adventure Cycling Texas Hill Country, Part One

A Visit with the Griz
February 7-10 Last fall we planned to take a three-week trip to South America, visiting Santiago and Patagonia in Chile and then joining a guided tour with Intrepid Travel in Lima, Peru that would take us to the Amazon and Machu Pichu.

East Coast Fall 2021 – Death Valley
November 19-21 Today’s drive would be a more manageable at six or so hours and so; after a stop at a Starbucks for a Venti vanilla latte, we hit the I-40 and motored west. Our many trips over the years have brought us along this route and thus the landmarks have become familiar. Knowing we’d […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Portales, New Mexico

East Coast Fall 2021 – Abilene, Texas
November 14-15 I hit the road for San Antonio around 10am and made good time including a brief stop at a McDonald’s for their decent coffee and a very good cinnamon roll. Soon enough I found myself at the airport where after a short wait at the cellphone lot, I picked up Joanna and we […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Corpus Christi, Texas
November 12-13 My drive the next day at just under six hours would go smoother, with just a quick stop for lunch at a McDonalds. I arrived and Stephanie and Lee’s house mid-afternoon feeling much better than the day before, unloaded the car and then in the wink of an eye, found myself sitting next […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Durham, Summerfield, Charleston, and Fernandina Beach
November 3-8 We made the now familiar drive up to Durham to spend one night there as we continued to work on Joanna’s mom’s placement and the next morning drove the short distance to Ann and Rendy’s where we would spend just two nights. It would be a low-key visit, with a couple of highlights, […]
