On Wednesday, Barbara and I dropped Ellie off at the groomer to get a bath, brush, nails trimmed, and teeth brushed. While Ellie was getting cleaned up, we checked out the rock formations surrounding Sedona. If you have ever been to Sedona Arizona you know about the beautiful rock formations that surround the town.

The Grand Canyon
This past Tuesday, Barbara, Ellie, and I travelled north to the Grand Canyon. Even though Barbara and I have been here before, numerous times, we never seem to get tired of it. In fact, I have spent close to 50 days in the Grand Canyon and have studied it a lot. On this trip, weContinue reading “The Grand Canyon”
Lake Conroe
Well the rain finally stopped. For the past two days we have had to stay inside because Mother Nature was unhappy and she was dumping a lot of water on us. This morning, I grabbed my camera and Ellie and I took a walk down to the lake. We found a Great Blue Heron, anContinue reading “Lake Conroe”
The View from Verde Valley
As some of you may have noticed, for several months now, I have not been able to get out and do any serious hiking, take many photos or post to my blog. I have spent most of my time making repairs to the trailer, the weather hasn’t cooperated, and Barbara recently had eye surgery. However,Continue reading “The View from Verde Valley”
Lake of the Springs

It has been a frustrating and difficult time for us and due to this I have not been able to do any hiking andContinue reading “Lake of the Springs”
Indiana Dunes National Park
Last week, Barbara, Ellie and I traveled west to visit the Indiana Dunes National Park. This is a pretty park that is, surprisingly, surrounded by several steel mills. On this day the temperature hovered around 91 degrees with 80% humidity so we didn’t stay around for long. In fact, the last thing we did wasContinue reading “Indiana Dunes National Park”

I tried to hike this trail a couple of years ago, but at that time the trail was closed, a thirdContinue reading “Trillium Lake Trail”
Mt. Hood Scenic Drive
I haven’t posted in awhile because Barbara, Ellie, and I have been traveling across country, to Indiana to get some repairs made to our trailer. Living in and RV and traveling is a great way to enjoy our retirement years, but the maintenance on the RV is exhausting and time consuming. A few weeks ago,Continue reading “Mt. Hood Scenic Drive”
Oregon Coast
This week we have spent most of our time exploring the Oregon Coast. We took a train ride along the coast from Rockaway Beach to Garibaldi. We drove to Tillamook and toured the cheese factory and we spent some time at Tolovana Beach. First, we took Ellie on her first train ride. It was onlyContinue reading “Oregon Coast”
Lava Cast Forest
A couple of days ago, Barbara, Ellie, and I took a short drive to the Lava Cast Forest. The Lava Cast Forest is located at the end of a nine mile, mostly gravel road, east of highway 97 in central Oregon, just south of Bend. The Lava Cast Forest was formed approximately 7,000 years agoContinue reading “Lava Cast Forest”
