Santa Fe to the A’s in Texas

Posted on April 20, 2016June 4, 2016 by TC 3 Comments

We left Santa Fe on Monday, arriving in Austin Wednesday afternoon, a trip of 668 miles in three days. We stopped at Amarillo, lunched in Lubbock, stopped at Abilene (which I now know how to spell, since I had to look up lodgings online), then on to Austin, where will stay for a bit. I […]...

Santa Fe

Posted on April 6, 2016June 4, 2016 by TC Leave a comment

Ahhhhh, back in the homeland. I grew up in Denver, and the even though there’s 400 miles between here and there, the high desert and the culture is so very familiar. Santa Fe has it’s own charm, but I find myself going, “Oh, yeah, I remember this,” over and over and over. Habits given up […]... Read More

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Posted on April 3, 2016June 4, 2016 by TC Leave a comment

Everything they say about Spring Training is true. The stadium is small and easy to navigate. You don’t have to fight crowds, you’re really close to the field, you can see the players, there are lots of fly balls, the games are more interesting because the old players are getting back into shape and there […]...

Why Yes, it is Grand

Posted on April 1, 2016June 4, 2016 by TC 2 Comments

I’ve been wanting to see the Grand Canyon for years and years. I even lived in Phoenix for 11 months back in the ’80s and never made it that far north. I was not earning much money and it’s an 8 hour round trip. Also, there was no one to share it with. But […]... Read More

Walnut Canyon, Flagstaff & Rt. 66

Posted on March 27, 2016June 4, 2016 by TC Leave a comment

We left Palm Springs and drove across the Mojave Desert floor. There are hundreds and hundreds of windmills strewn across the desert floor around Palm Springs. We made our way to Needles, where we stopped for lunch at a Route 66 Cafe & looked for Snoopy’s brother Spike who was nowhere to be […]... Read More

Climbing into the Pines

It happened again. I checked Google Maps and Waze, who both told me it should take about 5-1/2 – 6 hours to get from Palm Springs to Flagstaff. Ten hours and 370 miles later, we pulled in, navigating the last few miles in the dark. We did take a bit over an hour to stop […]... Read More

Sunset Magic on the Sky Deck

Posted on March 23, 2016June 4, 2016 by TC 2 Comments

As I write this from Sun Valley, the sun is beginning to peek over the horizon, cocks are crowing, the wind is rushing through the palm trees and behind me a fountain bubbles on my private porch. I’m in a still, calm and connected place after an amazing experience last night. We left 29 Palms […]... Read More

The BF making friends with the Blooming Yucca

Joshua Tree

We arrived in 29 Palms after a 4 hour drive from Bakersfield to Barstow, then headed south across the Mohave desert. I had it in my head that the journey was going to be around 2-1/2 hours, so it was a bit of a surprise. That must be a different segment of the trip 🙂 […]... Read More

WE DID IT!!!

I am writing this from Bakersfield, CA. I have spent the day staring at my computer screen in a vain attempt to get my brain to work after making a million million decisions (does this go into storage? front or back of unit? what will I wear for the next 6 months? will it fit […]... Read More
