Continuous Travelers – This Is Not What We Expected
It was a free campsite, just off California’s Interstate 10…a quick stop on our way to Tucson, Arizona. There are no amenities offered at Chiriaco Summit Campground, just a place to park…no charge. Reg and I expected a free-for-all with trailers and RVs scattered every which-way around the desert landscape. However, the Chiriaco Summit rest…

Continuous Travelers – Looking Back, Moving Forward
Before leaving California, we spent one more day wandering among the giants of Calaveras Big Trees State Park, near Angels Camp in the gold country. The giant sequoias really must be seen to be believed. As I photographed these two trees, named Mother and Son, a parent and child appeared. While it gives a good…

Continuous Travelers – Moving On
We never intended to stay so long in Fort Bragg, however…we weren’t expecting such a nice campground just south of downtown. We weren’t expecting to find so many interesting coastal and forest hikes. We really weren’t expecting to have such gorgeous weather for the three weeks we’ve been here. Blue skies and little wind have…

Continuous Travelers Explore The Pygmy Forest
It’s been six weeks since escrow closed on our Oregon home, and just two weeks since we left Southern Oregon and headed south. We haven’t made it very far, but that’s okay. There is no timetable. We’re enjoying an extended stay along the coast of Mendocino, taking full advantage of a stretch of beautifully sunny…

Continuous Travelers Hit The Road
With the exception of our two camp hosts, we’ve outlasted every other camper who has pulled in for a night…or two…or three at Emigrant Lake. While our 2-week stay has far exceeded our expectations, we are now in danger of overstaying our welcome. With our brand new driver licenses tucked safely in our wallets, the…

Continuous Travelers
We continue to camp out in Southern Oregon while the last “loose end” issue is completed. We opted to keep our Oregon residency (for now) for a variety of reasons, but lacked a necessary Oregon mailing address. After Reg made numerous phone calls to a variety of agencies and businesses, we chose to contract with…

Never Say Never
Three years ago, while traveling up the East Coast, we made an impulsive decision to list our Ashland townhome for sale. As we towed our trailer north to Maine, we got caught up in the “what ifs” of living in a completely different part of the country. Unfortunately, by the time our home hit the…

We Traveled To Europe With No Money
It seems like a long time ago that we were in Dublin, Ireland, but we have been home just four days. We flew over to lend moral support and a little muscle (IKEA bags can get heavy) for son Andrew and daughter-in-law Charlotte as they settled in the country they now call home. It was…

“Live A Bit More And Fear A Bit Less!”
The year was 1780 and Dublin was the second largest city in Great Britain and Ireland. With over one hundred breweries and distilleries operating in Dublin, John Jameson’s whiskey had a tremendous amount of competition. By embracing the spirit of “Live a bit more and fear a bit less!” Jameson Distillery thrived, expanding over almost…
