Just a few images we took from our visit to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC.
#003 – Our Adventures to Tennessee
A few weeks back, we took a short trip to Tennessee. Robert dropped me off in Franklin while I attended a conference while he traveled on to the New Market area to hang out with HAM radio friends. This show sums up our little adventure. Episode Highlights: A week or so before the trip, …
Clingman’s Dome on 35mm Red Scale Film
We rolled some red scale film and took these shots at Clingman’s Dome on our Canon AE-1. For those who don’t know what red scale is, we placed the film in a dark bag and took the film out of the canister. Then we wound it back onto the film roll backwards. Simply put…the film is …
Stir Crazy Weekend
Even though last weekend was pretty eventful, Robert and I seemed to get stir crazy. Maybe it’s because we felt our trip to TN was too short. Maybe we wanted to procrastinate on doing something. I don’t know, but the feeling of getting out and away from the RV overtook us the entire weekend. Antenna …
13 States and 33,000 Miles
People are always commenting on the places my husband, Robert, and I visit. They find it amusing or fascinating (really, they may think we are crazy) how we become nomads for a period of time during the year. Exploring our great country on highways, byways, and back roads is what Robert and I love to …
Little House on the Prairie in Kansas
A little off the beaten path, just south of Independence, Kansas is a roadside attraction that’s worth the stop. Little House on the Prairie Museum sits on privately owned land and is one of the many childhood home sites of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Robert and I happened to be in southeastern Kansas and saw the …
Unexpected Adventure
We had an exciting day. We left out from Apache Junction, Arizona with north being our only direction we needed to go. We decided to take Hwy 88 North out of Lost Dutchman’s State Park. After driving for a while we came up on a sign that said “pavement ends in 1/2 mile”! It was …
Overland Expo West 2016 – Our Recap
This was our first year to go to Overland Expo. Last October, we were just off by a week in our schedule to attend Overland Expo East. That was OK, because a hurricane was going through the east coast during that time and pummeled the event with rain. It was last October, however, when we …
Go Where The Buffalo Roam
Not a well-known park, Prairie State Park has nearly 4,000 acres that preserves Missouri’s largest remaining tallgrass prairie. Did you know that tallgrass prairie used to be more than one fourth of Missouri’s landscape? Now, only one percent remains. Since it’s not too far from where we live, Robert and I decided to take the …
Unexpected Treasure in KC
At the beginning of the month, Robert and I celebrated our wedding anniversary. We commonly don’t make a big deal out of our anniversary and usually remember it a day or so after it had passed. Not this year! Even though our day was right smack in the middle of the work week, I thought …
