The Rolling Stone

This is my first blog since Joyce and I returned from Alaska in Sept 2006. That doesn't mean that we have laid around home since then. In Feb 07, we visited friends in Fla and Savannah, Ga.

In April, went to New Orleans to a wedding, then explored the area, traveled the Natchez Trace and thru the Breaks Interstate Park in Ky and Va.

In Mid July, we took our oldest grandson and headed west for 5 weeks. Using our Pop Up Camper. Quite small, but sufficient. We did the Arch in St. Louis, Rocky Mtn. National Park, Flaming Gorge, fossil hunting in Kemmer, Wy. Then on to Grand Teton NP for several days. Left there and swung west and north to Yellowstone. Explored Yellowstone for 5 days. Then on to Glacier NP. Lots of wild fires there. Stayed a few days then headed east and south toward home. Stopped at Wall Drug and spent a couple nights in the BadLands of SD. Saw a great meteor shower there. Then on home. A long trip, but well worthwhile, especially bringing the 17 year old grandson.

We were home a short while, when wanderlust hit again. Down to Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains. We were there for a week. Back home again and then to the Pocono's to Vist Bruce and Geri.

After that I flew to the West Coast for inventory audits for my old employer, Sperry. That pretty much took care of the year.

Now it is 2008 and Joyce and I are headed to the Desert Southwest. Plan to be gone a couple of months. Once again taking the Pop Up Camper. I am much more comfortable towing that, rather than driving the Motorhome. It's a lot cheaper too.


I will try to keep this up to date as we travel.
