I stumbled on this place on the way to Jarbidge, Nevada. There is a nice campground that is mostly used by boaters and anglers, but it was a convenient stop for me on the way back from Jarbidge – Just a place to dump and refill my water tanks and…
Jarbidge, the Roads
As a visitor, Jarbidge appears to be an automobile town. There is no airport and the river is not navigable; the only way in is in an automobile. The mountains in the national forest are criss crossed by dirt roads that are popular OHV destinations. The antique automobile club was…
Fall, New England
Our planned Nova Scotia fall trip was diverted to a New England due to hurricane Dorian. It cause significant damage to trees stripping many of the leaves. Still, fall in the White Mountains in New Hampshire was nothing but great colors and fabulous hiking.
Prince Edward Island
Most visitors come for the Anne of Green Gables history and sites, but I found Prince Edward Island to be exceptionally picturesque.
Newfoundland, the Lighthouses
There are some 100 lighthouses in Newfoundland, a testament to its long history of fishing activity and its complex (very complex) coastline.
Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland, Canada
There was too much to see in the 3 days we allowed for Gros Morne. The hike up to Gros Morne Mountain is recommended, but it is a difficult one.
Big Sandy, Wind River Range, Wyoming
This is one of the most scenic areas in the country. Great hiking, great mountain, great people.

On the west side the highway goes through one valley name Kawuneeche Valley. This is really the headwater of the Colorado River. The area is home for much wildlife and the elk is particularly photogenic. I also saw moose and mountain ship, but no bear. It snowed the first night…
Rocky Mountain National Park, East Side
We camped at Estate Park, which is really a town, but it is close enough to the national park for daily trips. The image of Bear Lake was taken with a fisheye lens.
New Mexico and Colorado Springs
I wasn’t sure what to make of the Garden of the Gods until I saw it in the morning light. The rock really reflects the warm lights and the contrast with the green all around is really remarkable. Sprinkle on top a few dramatic clouds and you have a 5…
