Two dogs, two people, one RV. What could go wrong?
I am afraid of heights. Not paranoid, just fearful. Over the years I've been on top of 20 foot ladders, cliffs and other scary places and done OK. I've even parasailed. Then again, I've gotten the yips just standing on the edge of a diving board or looking down a stairwell. Then Ben said "let's... Continue Reading →
On day two of our West Virginia trip we woke to sparkling blue skies. The campground is right on the river in the midst of mountains. I made coffee and we walked dogs. I had just settled down to read the paper when Ben stalked out of the back with a grim look on his... Continue Reading →
Along with our Red Dog we travel with my little Jack Russell Terrier (JRT). I adopted him in 2008 from a friend who had found him roaming the streets. They took him in and named him "Sweet Pea." They learned fairly quickly that they were not equipped for such a busy little dog. They searched for his... Continue Reading →
When we planned our trip, Ben told me that we absolutely had to ride the narrow gauge rail from Durango to Silverton. I'm not totally clueless, I know that narrow gauge rail refers to a train but all my historic train rides in Ohio had been on single track laid on mostly flat ground. The... Continue Reading →
When I'm working on a story, at some point I turn to Ben and say "want to hear what I wrote?" This usually happens while we are on the road or just before bedtime. It helps me to read aloud, as I catch errors and notice parts that need to be reworked. He is a better editor than... Continue Reading →
It was the bike that caught my attention. The adult tricycle was painted shocking pink and was festooned with dozens of blinking hearts on keyrings on the back basket. A pink plate read "Dancin' Annie's Pink Cadillac." It was parked most afternoons by the door of the Oyster City Brewing Company. The Oyster CIty Brewing... Continue Reading →
Out of our group of friends, one or both of the people in each RV is a dedicated fisher, with the exception of me and Ben. I'm comfortable in my observer role, and it's been fun to watch a few of our friends at their sport. Each fish species has a season it may be caught... Continue Reading →
I've traveled quite a lot in the past few years, and I've learned there are three ways to be Away. There is “ Away on Vacation." another is “Vacation Away" and the last I'll call “Home Away." I'm going to talk mostly about the last, but let me define previous two conditions, just so that... Continue Reading →
We recycle, and we usually have more recyclable trash to the point where we don't put the regular bin out weekly. I scrapped our Kerurig coffeemaker (I have a zillion of those refillable K-cup things if anyone needs them) and went back to a regular coffeepot so that we wouldn't be tempted by plastic K-cup...

We spent a week in the Charleston area. We stayed at a lovely county park with a campground located between Folly Beach and Charleston. It had hiking and biking trails, a dog park, RV and primitive campgrounds, a boating lake and water park. If we weren't tooling around the park, we were at nearby Folly... Continue Reading →
