It’s a Wrap – Summer 2021 Comes to an end!
We’re home… and as the colloquial saying goes - “There’s no place like home.” This is especially true when you live in Clemson, South Carolina! We were leaving Rocky Mountain National Park, and heading toward Branson, Missouri when I wrote our last blog. Although it can be
Return to Rocky Mountain National Park
What a difference another day and a few miles make. We have been in sweltering temperatures (100+) and dealing with flies - lots of biting flies for the past month or so at various locations in Montana and the Dakotas. This stop on our journey brought
Our Return to the Dakotas
The morning after I sent our our last blog, we departed Glacier National Park in Montana and pointed the front of our motorhome east toward the Dakotas. We made two “one-night stands” at a couple of “no frills” locations before arriving at our next planned destination
The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone – Neighboring Wonders
When we last left you, Anna and I were headed out for a quick overnight stop in Coalville, Utah on our way to Dubois, Wyoming and the Grand Tetons National Park. The stop in Coalville was interesting initially since the journey to the park required some white
Our 2021 Summer Trip is Underway
Greetings to all of our friends and family, or at least those of you who still remember us. We not only remember you, but care about and miss you, and that is why I am sitting here slaving over my computer instead of out exploring. We are

The Rally – Our Last Hurrah This Summer!
We made it across the border into Canada once again, this time just north of Grand Forks, North Dakota. This is our last entry into Canada this summer, and I have to say that that the Canadian customs officers have been courteous and professional on almost all
Tally Ho – To the Rally We Go!
While the Custer, South Dakota area had much to offer, it was time to start making our way to Winkler, Manitoba Canada, for the Leisure Travel Van Annual Rally. We still had many miles, two states, and several stops, between our starting point in Custer and
Counting Down – The Badlands and Black Hills
We "Bearly" left the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary and Orr, Minnesota behind, and the countdown for returning to Clemson was on. As I write this blog, we are at almost at two weeks and counting! I was just starting to miss my new bear friends in Orr, when
Life with the Bears at the Vince Shute Sanctuary
I have long enjoyed wildlife photography and bears have always been at, or near, the top of my subject list. Like most people venturing off to a national park or forest hoping to photograph these beautiful animals, I have long misunderstood their behavior. Several years ago,
