Sigsbee Campground, Key West Take Two This year the Navy computer system was fully functional, and the first stop at the pass and ID office ended in a year-long DBIS card to get off and on Navy facilities in Key West. Last year this didn’t happen. After two days, it was still broken, and ifContinue reading “Florida Keys / Sanibel Island”

Color Peeping – Massachusetts – Vermont – New York
These states are minutes apart in the northwestern tip of Massachusetts, and that’s where we were headed to North Adams to visit my childhood friend, Jane Culnane. After almost 40 years of not seeing each other, Jane visited us in Ridgecrest when she attended her nephew’s wedding in Los Angeles. Our mothers had been goodContinue reading “Color Peeping – Massachusetts – Vermont – New York”
New Hampshire – October 2024
Franconia Notch State Park The colors were popping in the White Mountains as we arrived at Franconia Notch State Park. Coastal Maine was just starting and thought we should go to the White Mountains for some color peeping – that’s what they call it in New England. The White Mountains are ablaze. We campedContinue reading “New Hampshire – October 2024”
Acadia National Park
The Jewel of the National Parks – here we are and as we drove to Maine the sunshine and blue sky and fluffy clouds were delightful compared to the gray drizzle we got away from for several days at PEI. We needed to find 3 nights camping and we found out the National Park CampgroundsContinue reading “Acadia National Park”
Prince Edward Island (PEI)
The Birthplace of the Canadian Confederation is what the 8 mile long bridge is named to get here from Nova Scotia, as well as the license plate, and the major rail-trail, just to name a few accolades. It was built in 1997 and is the longest bridge to traverse ice-covered waters, although locals say bodiesContinue reading “Prince Edward Island (PEI)”

Half Cocked Brewery, Harvest Host It’s a return to one of our favorite Harvest Hosts. Our stay at the Ceilidh Cottage Campgrounds, Mabou, Cape Breton was cut short as it was going to rain and there were no extra shows planned at the Red Shoe. It was a bit strange because the Red Shoe eventContinue reading “Nova Scotia July /August2024”
Cape Breton Island – July 2024
There are lots of songs about Cape Breton and coming back to this island. And although we have been here, only two days it’s a place we definitely want to come back, just like the song says. Off the spreadsheet again this time off to a dinner party at our Sail Tour Captain, Gordon’s House.Continue reading “Cape Breton Island – July 2024”
New Brunswick, Canada June 2024
What were we thinking driving from DC to Maine in one day, on a Friday, no less. Multiple traffic stoppages. The 527 mile trip should have taken 8 hours but instead it took almost 12 hours and we just arrived at the Harvest Host Brewery missing the band and beer for the evening. Luckily theContinue reading “New Brunswick, Canada June 2024”

Florida Keys 2024 April
Key Largo, John Pennekamp State Beach This is another one of those premiere state parks that get sold out immediately. This year we made reservations as Florida residents which allowed us to make reservations 11 months before out of staters. I got lucky and will have 2 weeks here in January 2025, but most daysContinue reading “Florida Keys 2024 April”
