While there we saw The Roadkill Café and some of the Cars movie characters. There isn’t much else there, but it was fun to see. We wouldContinue reading “Radiator Springs”

Red Rock State Park
A few weeks ago, Barbara, Ellie, and I traveled to Red Rock State Park near Sedona, Arizona. We enjoyed the view of the red rocks that surround the park, Owl Creek, that flows through the park, and some wildlife, deer. A few days later, we drove through Owl Creek Canyon where Owl Creek originates. AContinue reading “Red Rock State Park”
Bullards Bar
Late last year, while we were still in California, we visited some friends that we have not seen in a while. While we were visiting Ember and Neal, they told us about Bullards Bar in Sutter County, California. Neal works part time at the reservoir, mostly during the spring, summer, and fall. Bullards Bar isContinue reading “Bullards Bar”
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”
Mt. Hood Railroad
A few weeks ago we took a ride on the Mt. Hood Railroad. The scenery along the way was not as scenic as we had anticipated, but the ride was very enjoyable. The train cars were very comfortable and we enjoyed the relaxing ride in the company of our friends Keith and Janice. At theContinue reading “Mt. Hood Railroad”

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”
The Central Oregon Cascades
This morning I took a short drive up the side of the Newberry Caldera to a vista point. I took one photo with one camera using the settings I usually use and six photos using the HDR method. I’m not sure I like the way the HDR photos came out, but I posted them hereContinue reading “The Central Oregon Cascades”
