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, […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
October 3 – October 6 With a fairly short drive to Denver on tap we decided to take the longer, more scenic route by driving over the Grand Mesa. First, we stopped at the Coffee Barn just before you hit Main Street to get a large Latte, providing fuel for the climb before us, starting […]
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 […]
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 […]
June 24 – July 26, 2021 We planned for our drive from Boise to Ely to take about six hours and with a moderately early start, we could arrive with enough time in the afternoon to tour the Nevada Northern Railway National Historic Landmark, a comprehensive railroad museum. But first we’d stop in Twin Falls […]
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 […]
