Last weekend I did my solo road trip to Pittsburgh, another stop in the grand tour of baseball stadiums. 500 miles each way, give or take a bit. I left around Friday noon, looking forward to a sunshine filled afternoon drive to Cleveland. Unfortunately, the weather gods decided to toy with me. It rained on …
I know that I have said it before, but I love to drive. Put me out on the open road with the top down, good music, good company, and an interesting destination, and I am as happy as can be. During our trip out west, I noticed that lots of the highways have been named after people. …
....around the world in a rowboat. Ok, maybe not that far, but I am taking a solo weekend trip (I am so sad --as far as Steven knows) to Pittsburgh in a couple of weeks. It is part of the baseball stadium tour that I am doing with my son and we're meeting there for …
America is the land of mass marketing. We are all used to the plethora of junk emails, the fact that the only thing we get in the mail are bills and marketing materials, the huge billboards on the side of the highways and cutesy, if somewhat odd, (deranged?), names that businesses use. I sometimes wonder …
My son and I left early to get to the game. It started at 8 p.m., but we wanted to be there when the gates opened at 4:30--p.m., of course. We drove to the Greenbelt Metro stop and took the train from there to the stadium. Given the uncertainties of the drive and the train …
I know, this posting is two days late. I am sorry, I've been otherwise occupied and simply haven't had the time to get this one done. When we last left off our intrepid travelers, they had just returned home from a two-week, all-fun vacation to the outer reaches of Utah. Exhausted and elated, they set …
One of the pleasures of a long road trip is that we rack up lots of interesting numbers along the way....at least I think they are interesting. Here is a summary of our trip...in numbers: Days: 17 Miles: 4,611 States driven in: 10 (IL, MO, OK, TX, NM, AZ, UT, CO, NE, IO) National …
Today was our first day on the drive home. We woke and breakfast in Moab at 4000 feet, the weather at 8 a.m. was 87 degrees on the way to an estimated high of 97. We had a great last breakfast at the B&B, packed up the car, put the top down and were on …
Who in their right mind thought that getting up at 5 a.m. (in the morning!) to go hiking would be a good idea? Oh yeah, I guess it was my idea...Sue should know better than to listen to me! Last night, we decided that we wanted to do the Devils Garden loop hike in Arches …
We just finished our two-day whitewater rafting trip down the Colorado River through Cataract Canyon into Lake Powell. We planned this months ago, but the timing was perfect. We needed a break from all the hiking in the heat and two days on the water was perfect. Cataract Canyon is part of Canyonlands National Park …
