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 spent a fully packed day roaming Cape Cod National Seashore, its endless beaches, quaint towns, and historic landmarks. But not before... ...the longest 15 mile drive to get from the mainland to Cape Cod. There are 2 bridges over the canal and they don't seem to handle the volume of traffic. Try and keep … Continue reading Cape Cod National Seashore
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
We didn't think we'll like Quartzsite, and weren't too sure about the RTR either. It sounded crowded and busy and sure to come with lots of noise and traffic havoc. It wasn't. Quartzsite is just a really interesting cultural phenomena. Not sure if it's where old hippies go to die, or young one come to … Continue reading Quartzsite And Rubber Tramp Rendezvous Reflections
First off, an Emma update. We were very concerned about her condition as she did not seem to improve, so we made an appointment with a vet in Blythe, California (the closest vet clinic to us). 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
We are back in Yuma. The temperatures are climbing and the weather forecast for the next few days will be sunny and warm. But we have a bit of a situation on our hands. Finally we go boondocking! We headed out to Fortuna Pond, just north of Yuma, to boondock on BLM land. There were … Continue reading Just when the weather was getting better…
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
There are limitations to travelling with dogs, but to us, the biggest of them all is not being able to take our dog on a hike with us. It was shocking for us to find out that most National parks in Canada and the US do not allow dogs on trails. Silly us planned our … Continue reading So What’s the Problem With Dogs?
