every little thing
It’s been almost three days since we arrived to Rapid City, South Dakota. We left Argyle, Texas Saturday morning and arrived Sunday afternoon – almost 1,000 miles! We’ve settled in to our two-bedroom apartment fairly well. Dale has not missed a beat with his work schedule and I’ve arranged everything...
Our last day in Napa we headed back to San Fransico for a guided sunset tour of the Point Bonita Lighthouse, which is located at the entrance to the San Francisco Bay. We were hoping to get a good view of the Golden Gate Bridge too, but once again, it...
Wyndham Resorts works hard to get timeshare investors. We are reaping some of their incentives by staying at a very nice resort in the heart of California wine country. Vino Bella Resort has all the usual amenities you’d expect, plus a beautiful vineyard! We didn’t choose this location because of...
Here are a couple of video clips of some of the wild life we saw on this leg of the journey. After packing up our tent at MacKerricher State Park we traveled into Fort Bragg for a hearty breakfast then headed out on our last leg to Napa. Our first...

We try to get out for a small adventure every day after Dale gets off work at 3pm. The whole time we’ve been on Pacific Time, he has maintained Central Time hours, so he works from 6-3! This isn’t easy but it does give us extra time in the afternoon....
Saturdays are big days for us. Dale works all week and we attend a local church on Sundays, so I usually plan our biggest adventures for Saturday. This past weekend we walked close to 10 miles, mainly on two trails – The Boy Scout Tree Trail and the Grove of...
A Chronicle of our Drive to Northern California It’s a nine hour drive from Bend, Oregon to McKinleyville, California (our current location) if you go directly west to Florence, then hit the 101 headed south. That’s totally doable in one day. But why rush? Plus, my beloved likes to shoot...
It seems that many of our trips include waterfalls, which I love, and can’t get enough of. However, I understand that it may be a bit repetitive since they all look very similar, so I thought I’d put two waterfall trips into this one post. Tumalo Falls We visited Tumalo...
