When the Weather is Cold, Three Hikes in Three Days
The first two months of the year have been quiet for us with little travel planned. This wasn’t exactly deliberate but it just played out that way, a nice run of domesticity and routine leading up to what will be three months of pretty active travel. First up will be a three week plus […]
We Thought You Retired
When I left UNC Charlotte in May of 2014 I wasn’t sure how the retirement thing would play out, certain at the time that we would be traveling as much as we could, the six-month trip to Europe that year the kickoff to many more adventures. And for the first year or more, it […]
West Coast Fall 2015, Part Seven
10/22-11/2 With a relatively short drive back to Oakland that Thursday and a bit of time on our hands with Jessica and Kris at work all day, we elected to visit Tuolumne Grove, one of Yosemite’s three Sequoia groves (the other two are Mariposa and Crane Flat), just past the Tioga Road turnoff. Not […]
West Coast Fall 2015, Part Six
10/22-11/2 We left the Visitor Center and walked back over to the food shops at the Village, picking up some coffee and soup to go along with the sandwich’s we had made back at camp. It was pleasantly chilly, to sit outside and enjoy the clear air and pleasant surroundings. Once finished we walked a […]
West Coast Fall 2015, Part Five
10/22-11/2 Temperatures dipped that first night and we were glad to have a heater in the tent. The bed would not win any awards for comfort, but we soon grew used to its shortcomings and slept well the balance of our stay. With rain in the forecast we knew that our first full day in […]
West Coast Fall 2015, Part Four
10/22-11/2 The drive down from Angels Camp isn’t far from a mileage perspective, but it takes time due to the curvy nature of the roads, particularly a stretch between Moccasin and Priest Station just past the Don Pedro Reservoir (now seriously depleted due to California’s ongoing drought). Starting just east of Moccasin, State Route 120 […]
West Coast Fall 2015, Part Two
10/22-11/2 Kris had to go into work on Sunday to begin decorating his office for the big Halloween Party they would be holding the following Friday and after he left Jessica, Joanna and I took off for Berkeley and a visit to the REI there to pick up some supplies for mine and Joanna’s trip […]
West Coast Fall 2015, Part One
10/22-11/2 After my return from Copenhagen on the 14th we had a week in town before our scheduled trip out to the west coast to visit Jessica and Kris. Kim and Marty, Kris’ parents, stopped in early the next week for three nights giving us the opportunity to show them a bit of Charlotte. […]
Copenhagen, Part Five
10/5-10/14 Monday would be another day in Copenhagen with a Simone and Dillon as our tour guides. We took our usual train into Norreport Station, then the number 5 bus into Norrebro to a stop almost directly across from our first visit of the day, Copenhagen’s Assistens Cemetery. We’d intended to look for a […]
Copenhagen, Part Four
10/5-10/14 We arrived back in Copenhagen by early afternoon and bade Simone and Dillon farewell until later that day when we would meet them for dinner back in town. Bev and I took the train back out to Vedbaek and settled in for a relaxing afternoon by ourselves as Maria and Gorm had accompanied the […]
