We have been traveling in rural Kentucky for almost a month. The narrow two-lane roads slice ribbons of grey through miles and miles of brilliant green corn fields. Wildflowers bend and sway on tall whisper thin stalks. The densely forested hillsides have been a welcome relief from the desert landscape at home. Continue reading Ode to Kentucky

Corvette Museum
We visited the Corvette Museum late in the afternoon and had the 115,000 square feet to ourselves. The museum opened in 1994 and sits on a 60-acre campus, complete with race track. Our self-guided tour began with a walk down vignettes depicting Main Street in an American small town. Early model Corvettes are cleverly displayed against the backdrops of a Photo Shop, Al’s Barber Shop, an assembly line, a Mobil gas station, a car dealership and a repair shop.

Orange Peel
Terry’s dad, Ralph, was a great dad who supported Terry in all his interests from Corvettes to boats to airplanes…whatever had an engine and could go fast. This story is dedicated to him. Thanks Ralph for mentoring such a great son. Continue reading Orange Peel
Memphis and Nashville
Our four month adventure began when we turned the nose of the coach in an easterly direction toward Bowling Green Kentucky for the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion over Father’s Day weekend. Memphis and Nashville would be two major stops along the way. Continue reading Memphis and Nashville
Wild Horses of the Lower Salt River
Wild horses, descendants of the horses brought by the Spanish, have roamed freely along the Salt River before the Tonto National Forest was designed in 1902. Even though they had been living on the land for over a century, their fate was uncertain in the early 21st century. In 2015, the United States Forest Service issued a notice declaring the herd as “unauthorized livestock” and announced a plan to capture, remove and auction off any unclaimed horses.

Yosemite – John Muir’s Legacy
John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club, wrote, “Everyone needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike”. John’s observation is more relevant than ever….get out and enjoy nature, even if it is in own garden! Continue reading Yosemite – John Muir’s Legacy
Park City, Utah
We set off in early June with our e-bikes for one of our favorite destinations, Park City. The steep hills of the Wasatch Mountains would put us and the bikes to the test. We stayed in a condo built into a rugged hillside above Main Street. Continue reading Park City, Utah
See the USA!!!
Twiddling our thumbs at home for most of the past six months gave us time to reconsider the way we travel. Like most of you, our international and domestic travel plans were cancelled. Continue reading See the USA!!!
Prince Edward Island
The ramp was lowered. We drove in an orderly line onto land from the belly of the ferry. Continue reading Prince Edward Island
Exploring Nova Scotia
In 2017 we spent 3 weeks in Nova Scotia driving from Halifax to Peggy’s Cove, to Chester Basin and Wolfville. This year we are spending 8 weeks driving the entire island. We learned not to always trust the GPS. It will take you on a direct route that may include a few rough dirt roads. To avoid any surprise off roading, we got an old fashion paper map.
