As we were navigating the streets of Salt Lake City, Utah in search of a gas station, we received a phone call from Sarah and Rick asking us to join them for dinner at Desert Edge Brewery at Trolley Square. We found a relatively quiet table in a back corner near the...
Late afternoon we stopped by Salt Lake City, Utah's Liberty Park to check out the Friday evening Farmers Market. The colorful fruits and vegetables were tempting but we fell for some sweet and savory pastries for tomorrow and some amazing salted caramel for immediate...
See Park Video After the dam tour we briefly checked out the marina but didn't stay long since the restaurant wasn't open so we headed east to the Dutch John Resort for a nice sit down lunch before heading west to the Red Canyon Overlook. Wow! What incredible views....
After a conversation with a fellow traveler at the KOA last evening about cool things to do in Flaming Gorge, this morning we headed north on US-191. All along the way are signs indicating which geologic formation is visible and what kinds of fossils are present. Also...

Today's route took us north and west along US-24, CO-9, and I-70 through some gorgeous Colorado mountains and towns such as Fairplay, Alma, Blue River, Breckenridge, and Vail and then along the Colorado River. It's July so the slopes were green but the streets in town...
Not ready to leave Cripple Creek, we lingered over the Sunday morning Pancake Breakfast. On our way back to our T@B we saw Diana outside her T@B. We're always ready to hang out with fellow T@Bbers, so we stopped by for another visit with her. Diana introduced us to...
They're a camping tradition that can be traced back a very long time. The first recipe for S'Mores dates back to a 1927 Girl Scout guidebook and our own personal memories of the gooey treat date back quite a few decades. Cripple Creek KOA stages a S'Mores Campfire...

Four of the five nights we spent in Netherlands was in Haarlem, the capital of North Holland. It was a wise decision for us to base ourselves outside to Amsterdam.
A string of unexpected problems complicated our transition from Southampton to Haarlem but calm problem solving and a sense of adventure led to unpredicted delights and a story for the ages.
