Our time in Cape Cod is almost over. One last stop on our way to the bridge - the Sandwich Glass Museum is a neat museum featuring rare glass mostly from the local Sandwich Glass Co. that operated between 1825 to 1888. We also watched a fascinating live glass blowing demonstration. Getting off the … Continue reading From Sandwich Glass to Vermont Cheese
After another pleasant night at Myles Standish State Forest we had to go back over the bridge to chaos Cape Cod so that we can attend the wedding that was our first destination. Again, traffic jam and pendamanium. to cross the bridge No lanes, no courtesy to other drivers, everyone is trying to just get … Continue reading Cape Cod – Pirates, Marinas, and Nuptials
We had a wedding to attend in Cape Cod and a friend to visit in Vermont. These two stops and some ocean time in between were the only items on our agenda, so unlike our usual mad dash to nowhere in particular, we took our time and managed to stretch the 10 hour each-way trip … Continue reading On Route To Cape Cod – Erie Canalway To Myles Standish Park

The animal hospital was very accommodating and the vet saw us within an hour of our call. She felt … Continue reading Sonora Sunsets Amid Vet Visits

Tombstone didn’t die because it lives for … Continue reading Tombstone To Yuma (Via San Diego)
It was really cold in New Mexico so we pulled into a campground with hookups. We were skeptical that we'll be able to stay warm in the forecast -14 Celsius even with hookups. We had our portable oil filled radiator (quiet), a small ceramic heater (loud, but effective), an electric blanket (12 volt), propane heater, … Continue reading It Was A Three Dog Night
Emma said we need to get away from the cold weather, so we tried to comply. We left Ontario on a grey and dreary Christmas Day in search of warmth and sunshine, but instead we've been dodging storms and moving from one weather system to another. Sigh. Our final destination is Arizona (where the sun … Continue reading On The Road Again
