Moss Landing, California! When we arrived this afternoon we had to quickly change out of shorts and into jeans and jackets. It's overcast, misty, chilly, and downright glorious here! We've stayed here before in 2014 and remember it fondly. Like last time we made the...
See Park Video See Time Laps Video Getting up early this morning truly paid off. We'd made the short drive from the campground to Bear Gulch last evening to get our bearings so we knew where we were going this morning shortly after dawn. We were the first to hit the...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-3FY5ijhVI&app=desktop Although it was a national monument beginning in 1908 and officially a national park beginning in 2013, Pinnacles National Park wasn't even on our radar until about a week ago when we were searching the...
It was mostly a case of "any port in a storm" kind of mentality that led us to booking two nights at the Los Banos KOA Journey in the middle of California in early August. It's hot but our air conditioning works wonderfully. Mornings and evenings are pleasant and the...
It's a lovely piece of property here along the South Fork of the American River in the little community of Coloma, California. Coloma Resort was a logical choice for our stay since it is immediately adjacent to Sutter's Mill. Otherwise it's not a place we'd care to...
One of the very early wagon train travelers across the American continent was John Sutter, a Swiss immigrant who became a Mexican citizen and landowner in what was then Alta California, a Mexican province. There he proceeded to build a settlement where Sacramento is...
Leaving Nevada behind, we're in California! We've been traveling I-80 more or less following the Truckee River in a direction opposite to its flow from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake. It's gorgeous and cool up here at 7,056 feet. The Pacific Crest Trail passes through...
See Park Geology Video See Park Videos What a wonderful overnight stay here in the desert in Southern California. We approached from the south. With a call to recreation.gov we had learned that several sites at Cottonwood Cottonwood Campground in Joshua Tree National...
Certainly we've avoided the busiest, most congested roadways in Southern California, but to travel from Santa Paula to JoshuaTree National Park involves contending with a fair degree of LA traffic with our trailer in tow. Fortunately in the last couple of days, we've...
One of the effects of travel for us is an emotional connectedness to the places we have visited. When we learned on the news this past winter about the Thomas Fire in California's Ventura County we immediately began fearing for the people and places we knew and had...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

Singapore is an city-state located on an island at the tip of the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia that during its sixty years of independence has carefully and thoughtfully created an ultra modern city that honors its past as it looks to the future. One aspect has been promoting a Garden City to in part to improve livability, public health. Our first visit to this spectacular city concentrated on the incredible gardens here.
Knowing very little of the deep history of Vietnam, we chose to spend our one day in the country immersing ourselves in their 18th Century imperial history including a sumptuous nine-course lunch in the ancestral home of a princess.
With three curated experiences, a Hidden Hong Kong Tour, a Chinese Cultural Extravaganza stage production, and a Grand Tour of Hong Kong we got a intriguing introduction to the history, culture, and landscape of this dynamic city where East meets West.
