East Coast Fall 2021 – Mobile, Al
November 9-10 A good day’s drive of seven hours took us along familiar territory, west on I-10 across the Florida panhandle to land in Daphne, Alabama, sitting across Mobile Bay from Mobile itself. Originally we had planned to camp closer to town for three nights at Meaher State Park which we used in 2016 (https://3jmann.com/2016/05/07/south-east-spring-swing-mobile-part-one/), […]
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, […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Charlotte, Part Three
October 29 – November 2 Continuing our string of meeting up with two different sets of people each day, we made our way to The Famous Toastery at Concord Mills to for breakfast with some of our friends from the Piedmont Adventure Club, Peggy and Luther and Diane and Loren. During our time in Charlotte […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Charlotte, Part Two
October 29 – November 2 The next morning, Sunday, we’d get to participate in a bike ride we’ve long missed doing, that is the occasional Breakfast ride with Charlotte Area Cyclists, hosted by our good friend Maurice who started and runs the club. This is probably the shortest ride the club offers, as we’ve enjoyed […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Portsmouth, NH
October 19 -20 With just a five-hour drive to Portsmouth, we knew we could dawdle a bit and yet still have time there to do a bit of sightseeing, leaving our visit to Margaret’s until the day after our arrival. We checked into the Best Western Plus The Inn at Hampton, a few miles south […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Ithaca, NY, Part Two
October 12 -15 With more than a couple of days in Ithaca we could relax a bit, do some sightseeing, and perhaps get a good bike ride in. The weather that first day looked a bit sketchy, so we decided to head to Buttermilk Falls State Park, a 811-acre park named for the frothy appearance […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Erie, Pa, Part Two
October 9 -11 We pulled up in front of Erie Ale Works, parked and walked inside, noting a few people leaning against a low-slung wall enjoying their beers. Inside the tap room is small, with the brewing tanks taking up half of the space and separated from the bar area by a chain link fence. […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Kansas City, Part Two
October 3 – October 6 Knowing that Bev wouldn’t arrive until late morning, McKenzie and Dillon off to work, and viewing a forecast for gorgeous weather we jumped on the opportunity to get a bike ride in. After some sleuthing, Joanna discovered the Harry Wiggins Trolley Track Trail not far from the house, one we […]
ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Twelve
June 24 – July 26, 2021 We returned to the condo, had a snack, and then set out for the Old Idaho Penitentiary, about fifteen minutes away. Parking was available in a small lot not far from the entrance to this imposing structure and so grabbing the camera, we set out for what would be […]
ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Eleven
June 24 – July 26, 2021 After that first cold beer which tasted pretty good after our long day, we unloaded the car, got settled in, enjoyed another brew, and then walked across the street to Highlands Hollow Brew Pub for dinner. Originally opened as the Brass Lamp (“Mother Lamp #2”) by Rod “Toad’ Davidson, […]
