Continue reading →: The Bucks are in
For whatever reason, we have seen multiple bucks (male deer) in the last couple days. These little guys are pretty young bucks… and looking to ‘hang’ with the does. Whatever the reason, we enjoy seeing them and watching them interact.

Continue reading →: Northern California Coast
After all the scenic overviews we had along the Oregon coast, we were a bit surprised by the lack of ocean views along the Northern California Coast. Granted California has a lot of beach and ocean views… but I’m not talking about San Diego, Mission Beach, or Redondo Beach. I’m…

Continue reading →: Oregon Coast
Oregon does it right. With about 362 miles of coast land, they celebrate it at every turn. I counted over 70 State Parks along the way… on the coast alone (no mention of inland Parks). These parks offer Day Use & Camping (for hikers, bikers, campers, and RV’ers). They are…

The Olympic Peninsula is in the northwestern part of Washington state. It is home to the Olympic National Park, but the park itself weaves in and out of the Olympic Wilderness and National Forests. Several small towns sprout up here and there between the park and the wilderness areas, Quinault,…

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend Portland, Oregon as a travel destination… but if stuck there, I would recommend Portland’s Japanese Gardens. It is poetry in life and living Japanese art.

One of the easiest and most beautiful fall color outings to get to outside of the ‘big city’ is Lockett Meadow. It’s only 20 minutes from Flagstaff and yields awesome concentrations of full color yellowing aspens. The characteristic white trunks and silver dollar yellow leaves make these aspen fields stand…

Fall cometh early to Northern AZ. I have told anyone that would listen, winter is coming. It’s getting cold early and fast. We’ve already had overnight lows below freezing. So with it, the leaves are popping. We have been out several times to see them, and plan on several…

Continue reading →: Vegas Fall
We tend to go to Vegas fairly often. The first thing everyone assumes is we like to gamble. Actually, not so much. For us, Vegas isn’t about gambling. It’s about the art, photography , and food. We eat stunning meals, helmed by amazing chefs, and then walk it off as…
