Last evening we enjoyed pizza and live music at Portneuf Valley Brewing in Pocatello, Idaho within easy walking distance then settled in for a pleasant overnight. This morning as we were starting our day in the parking lot of The Museum of Clean we noticed a lone Jeep...

Meeting Our Hero
Late in the first week of April 1988 we stopped by a bookstore in a tiny town in South Carolina and purchased a copy of Clutter's Last Stand by Don Aslett. By reading that book, we totally changed our relationship with our things and began the process of becoming...
Huston Vineyards
On Chicken Dinner Road in Caldwell, Idaho, we found a treasure in the form of Huston Vineyards. As members of Harvest Hosts we were welcomed and made to feel at home. In the Tasting Room we sampled five amazing Idaho wines and decided to purchase some Chicken Dinner...
Lowman to Winchester
Landscape of History: The Nez Perce Video In theory the trip from Lowman to Winchester, Idaho takes an hour and a quarter. For us it took more like six hours of driving plus stops. The scenery was fabulous! Riggins, Idaho was a great place to pause for lunch at the...
An Evening by the River
At day’s end we’re at Mountain View Campground Site #5 on bank of the Salmon River just east of Lowman, Idaho. It’s a serene end to a day that had its frustrating moments. After lunch we continued our drive north through the Sun Valley area and on through absolutely...
Home of the Road Kill Patty Melt
Our choice of Snow Bunny Drive-In Hamburgers for lunch was based solely on its oh so convenient location on the right side of the highway in Hailey, Idaho. We didn’t even bother to check reviews. But now it’s definitely on our personal map! It well deserves to be...
Not on Wednesday
See Park Video Ten years ago when we last visited the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, the Visitors Center was housed in a temporary building that it shared with another monument. Today we thought we had the opportunity to visit their new location in downtown...
Idaho Waterfalls
There are places in Idaho where it seems water just gushes out of every crevice. This morning we drove the Thousand Springs Scenic Byway stopping to capture the glory while dealing with private lands and light coming from the wrong direction. We have a choice whether...
Salmon Falls Creek
Oh! What a wonderfully relaxing experience! We’ve just enjoyed an hour and a half soak in some incredible mineral hot springs. It’s been about six weeks since we’ve had the opportunity to use our own hot tub so we felt really ready for the experience. We visited...
Dry Camping at Beauty Creek
This national forest campground in a valley in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest is a peaceful place. The slopes on either side are so sleep that they are near vertical. Only nineteen campsites and most of them occupied by tent campers. While we've had our solar...
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.

OUR VERY
LATEST
National Portrait Gallery
It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
Bletchley Park
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
Fenton House and Spaniards Inn
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
