Not all who wander are lost
I have been meaning to create something to capture the highlights from our summer 2019 adventure and the longer out it gets, the less motivated I have been to do this – just because life moves on and really big, important things happen like the birth of my beautiful granddaughter, Ava. They are back in …

Our road home took us back from Colorado through Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and finally Truxton, NY and then Brooklyn, NY. Long trip with mostly overnight stays, with an important stop in Jackson Center, OH – home of Airstream. We wanted to take the tour of the Airstream factory but also needed to get a …
Our last stop, Golden, CO. near Keefe (who lives in Denver) for some father-son bonding while I head north to a meditation retreat at the Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Center. I will have to rely on Brian for the retelling of their adventures as I wasn’t there! Our first night, Keefe came & picked us up …
Our next to last stop is in Moab, Utah to see Arches National Park and Canyonlands. Holy cow, it’s hot. Late August requires us to get on trail super early to avoid the 100 degree heat that rises by midday. We have 2 full days – one for Arches and one for Canyonlands. Our campground …
Best part of the time we spent in AZ was that my girl, Meg was able to join us for a few days…happy momma. As we drove from California, we were struck by the extent of the wind farms and the crop farms. We did the trip from Yosemite over 2 days as it is …
We had 4 full days to spend in Yosemite (which I sometimes confuse with Yellowstone – thus “the other Y park”). Brian & I both felt like this was our favorite park – we hiked every day and saw the amazing landmarks – so much variety, so much to see; magnificent. This will mostly be …
…in San Francisco. Ahhhh! So great to see Kevin and Jesse and Jesse’s growing baby belly as we get closer to her due date (9/16). She looks beautiful even if pregnancy is making it harder and harder to breathe. Baby Ava is an active little one, so mama is feeling her now. I would share …
From SF, we headed south to Carmel-by-the-Sea. Such a lovely name for a town. The campground was small with less than 40 sites, but it was nice – except that the showers only ran for 10 seconds at a time, requiring you to keep pressing the button. Silly… At one point, we counted 7 Air …
Our trip next took us to northern California and Redwood National & State Parks. As we learned from a park ranger, it is the only park in the US that is BOTH National & State. The park, near the northern limit of the coast redwood’s narrow range, preserves the remnants of a forest that once …
Having been to the mountaintop (well, not really, but my heart felt like it); we ventured further south to Oregon. We were staying in 2 locations — one between Portland & Mt. Hood and then further south to visit Crater Lake. The last (and only) time I visited Portland with my BF Ann in 2014, …
