So I was getting ready to write a “things will not be very exciting (for us yes, but for you to read about, no) in the next few weeks so I will skip writing for a bit)….then…. We had been in Colorado about 2 1/2 weeks and were heading down the canyon on Friday, July…

The people at the U-Haul place are such jerks! On June 22, we called at 10 in the morning to see if we could get the trailer one day early because rain and storms were predicted for packing day and they said it was due back at 11 and call back after lunch. We called…

The drive to Memphis was fairly uneventful considering we were pulling a 12 foot trailer. The only weird thing was that every time I got behind the wheel, it rained…not just rained…torrential,  “I can’t see the road” rain. Buzz got dry pavement every time…..WTH?? The mercury kept rising so we had a couple days of…

It seems like whenever we get together with my sister, it is a holiday and everything is just generally crazy or we meet somewhere in the middle for dinner and time is always too short for a really good visit. Well, we got in a really good visit with my sister, Lynnette and brother in…

I am in love with the upstate New York area, especially Lake George. What a cool place and a throw back to the slower vacation days of lazing in a hammock drinking lemonade.

Wow, had we know how beautiful Nova Scotia was we would have planned to stay longer. if you like the looks of stony beaches lined by mile high pines….well, NS is the place! Around every bend was another beautiful wild scene.   We would go back to Nova Scotia in a heartbeat…New Brunswick, not so…

A drive through Halifax and southward to Peggy’s Cove was longer than anticipated. A couple of times we thought of bagging it but drove onward….so glad we did! What a cool place! The second you pass by the sign that tells you it is a preservation district, the landscape changes from one of grassy rolling…

The walk to the wharf was short, several minutes at best; the road paved, the scenery drop dead gorgeous. We strolled past several fishing village huts and walked up to the first door we saw that was open. The catch was in and being weighed and sorted. “Got any to sell?” “Sure…how big?” “you pick”….

A huge portion of New Brunswick (and Nova Scotia, too) are affected by the tides of the Bay of Fundy. When the tides are out, the riverbeds reveal their underbellys of deep chocolate mud. They almost look glacial except for the color. The flow of the water carves the mud into hills and gorges and…
