Teddy Roosevelt camped here or 100 miles of perfect asphalt
Drove a perfect road today. Fresh two-lane asphalt for 96 miles; ND-16 north from I-94. Smooth long straightaways to let the truck run, leading into gradual sweeping S-turns that were there for no apparent reason except...
Come for the music; stay for the atmosphere
Leaving the Gallatin and Yellowstone area behind, we headed up to White Sulphur Springs. This stop-over has been on the summer road trip for four years now. White Sulphur Springs is a town of about 800...

Flowers and Waterfalls with a couple of close calls thrown in..
A few weeks ago, we pointed the rig East again, this time to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Lewis & Clark Slept Here, Almost
After leaving the Yellowstone area, it took about thirty minutes for me to acknowledge that I had no idea where we were driving to or which direction we may want to head. Sometimes this “I don’t...
Never a bad day on the river…and some are just outstanding
Just getting back from another road trip this spring, I have been busy. It wasn’t planned, but I returned to some of the places the Princess and I found last fall up in Wisconsin. It was...
