Here is a link to a video of Washington DC, Virginia, Tennessee, and South Carolina. Jan 19 – we head out of New Mexico through pecan groves, cotton fields, and farmlands to McNeal, AZ.  Whitewater Draw Conservation Area is home to 35,000 sandhill cranes during the winter months.  What a sight to see – flocks of […]

Southern New Mexico is very much like Texas.  We have seen lots of oilfields and lots of desert scrubland.  It is windy as well and freezing at nighttime, so our stay is brief and just in the south. Jan 15 – We are very disappointed that the Carlsbad Caverns National Park is closed due to […]

New England/New York Video Jan 9 – We visit the last two missions in San Antonio, San Juan and Espada.  The small church in Espada is particularly pretty with its small beamed ceiling. Near Austin, we visit Hamilton Pool Preserve Park in Dripping Springs.  This is a beautiful pool/grotto with green water and a large […]

Jan 4 – We reach Texas and some sun, but it is windy.  Still plenty of bayou along the way after passing through the last of Louisiana with its ranches, sugar cane, and rice fields. Jan 4 – In Beaumont, we stop at the Gladys City Boomtown, a replica of an industrial town for oil […]

Dec 28-30In heavy rain, we leave Orlando and head west to the Florida Panhandle.  We stop briefly in Panama City and Navarre at the Gulf beaches.  We use one of the rain days for a good visit to the Pensacola Naval Aviation Museum.  Lots of aircraft to see here from WWI to WWII, as well as […]

Here is the link to our latest video efforts – New England and New York all our Travel Videos can be found here. Dec 20-27We have been hanging out in Orlando for Christmas.  After Universal Studios, the weather turned ugly!  We had torrential downpours and a tornado touched down about 100 miles from us!  Thankfully the weather cleared […]

Dec 12-14 – A stop at Bahai Honda State Park which was hard hit by Hurricane Irma in 2017.  Parts are open now, but the beach is not what it was.  The water is still beautiful turquoise.  Key West is an eclectic jumble of shops, bars, locals, and tourists everywhere on foot, bike, or scooter.  […]

Dec 6 – We spend the day in our brand-new loaner Mercedes Benz SUV as the motorhome gets a much-needed oil change, fuel filter, and tire rotation.  We take it to the Mercedes Benz dealership to keep our warranty and it is very, very expensive! Dec 7 finds us in Naples visiting the beach.  We […]

Nov 29 – We visit the Yulee Sugar Mill Historic Site in Crystal River.  The ruins of a sugar cane mill include rollers to crush the cane and large cooking kettles to boil off sugar and molasses.  There are also orange trees here, but the oranges are very, very sour. In the afternoon, we stop at […]

Nov 24 – We visit Mission San Luis where Spaniards established a mission to convert native people to Christianity.  This mission also provided trade opportunities and a workforce to help support the outpost of St. Augustine.  The Spaniards lived in traditional homes, while the Apalachee people lived in round thatched houses.  The Apalachee council house […]
