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.

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.

ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Nine
June 24 – July 26, 2021 With a three-hour drive to the midafternoon start of the bike tour in Heyburn State Park just outside of Plummer, Idaho, we hung out in the room until checkout at noon. Plummer is the largest city within the Coeur d’Alene Reservation and knowing we had a busy last day […]
ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Eight
June 24 – July 26, 2021 Our drive to Richland, Washington the next day would take a little less than six hours, meaning we didn’t have to rush out of camp early in the morning. Heir Angst had recommended that we stop along the way to check out the Stonehenge Memorial just off the I-84. […]
ACA Idaho Trails Relaxed, Part Seven
June 24 – July 26, 2021 Finished with our snack, we drove the Highway 101 causeway across Young’s Bay and entered Astoria proper, ready for another full afternoon. Our primary stop that afternoon would be the Flavel House Museum, built in 1885 in the Queen Anne architectural style, by George Flavel, a Columbia River bar […]
