Travels With Minnie: Carter Caves State Resort Park
Our westward bound journey began with a two-night stop at Carter Caves State Resort Park in Kentucky. What a great family park…2,000 acres of forest and fun! We reserved a campsite over a week ago and were not disappointed with our choice. The park has over 30 miles of hiking trails, half of which are…

Travels With Minnie: Braving the Heat and Humidity
This is our last day at the Lebanon, Ohio KOA (Kampgrounds of America), a spot we chose because of its proximity to the Little Miami Scenic Trail listed in our Rail-Trail Hall of Fame book…and because we needed the laundry.The weather has turned pretty hot and humid, not ideal riding conditions for us. Yesterday we…

Travels With Minnie: Drifting Across the Country
It’s been just over four weeks since we hitched up Minnie and towed her east. With no set plan, other than to eventually reach West Virginia for a visit with (son) Chris and Gail, we weren’t sure what route we’d choose. For some folks, traveling without a set itinerary is the stuff nightmares are made…

Our Friday outing began in the small community of Laporte, just north of Fort Collins. The Poudre (pronounced poo-der) River Trail would lead us 9 1/2 miles downstream along a beautifully…

A quick trip to see North America’s tallest sand dunes, including the 755 foot Star Dune, was today’s outing. Driving toward the entrance to the park, the Sanger de Cristo mountains dominated the skyline and left me wondering just how impressive sand dunes could be in comparison.

Travels With Minnie: Colorado – Durango to Alamosa
Three days in Durango, Colorado allowed us to experience a range of weather conditions. Cold nights, windy days, a brief bit of snow while we picnicked and finally, a beautiful spring day. The high point (literally) of our stay was the hike we took up The Animas Mountain Trail with college friends Emily and Rich.…

Travels With Minnie: Utah’s Bicentennial Highway
As we enjoyed our last views of the gorgeous red cliffs of Capitol Reef National Park, we wondered what our day’s drive would reveal. Our planned route would take us along another lonely road where a sign warned there were no services ahead. While Reg likes this sort of excitement, I am far more nervous…
