East Coast Fall 2021 – Ithaca, NY, Part One
October 12 -15 With a less than four-hour drive to Ithaca, we took a detour on the way to visit the Corning Museum of Glass, founded in 1951 by Corning Glass Works (now Corning Incorporated) as a gift to the nation for the company’s 100th anniversary. Dedicated to the art, history, and science of glass, […]
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 – Erie, Pa, Part One
October 9 -11 With another longish day on the road ahead of us our primary concern was that we would hit a lot of Covered Bridge festival traffic around the town of Mansfield as we drove down to the interstate on highway 59 but given the early hour, we faced only a small amount of […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Rockville, Indiana
October 7 & 8 With a seven hour drive the next morning we didn’t dawdle, particularly as Bev needed to leave early to get back home and go to work. It would be another easy, though longish, day on the road and nothing got in the way, so we soon enough arrived for two nights […]
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 […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Cedaredge
September 28 – October 2, 2021 A busy couple of months sped by at home as we celebrated a milestone birthday for me then hosted a houseful (sister Bev, Nephews Jed, and Dillon with McKenzie) while other folks stayed nearby. Jessica, Kris, and Gemma would spend a couple of weeks with us, the longest together […]
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 […]
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 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 Four
June 24 – July 26, 2021 We set out the next morning with just a three-hour drive, 126-mile drive from Gold Beach. On the way we stopped 11-miles north of Florence, about 25-miles south of the KOA we’d be lodging at in Waldport, to visit the Sea Lion Caves. We’d been here once before, back […]
