Time traveling is not limited to Deloreans…
In the mid to late 80s I was in the Navy, and was stationed in southeastern Idaho. Yes, strange. I know. I was in the nuclear Navy; the sailors who ran the nuclear reactor and engine rooms of the ships. I had finished my tour on the submarine, USS Phoenix SSN-702, and was stationed at Continue reading

Colorado Family Time – 2025
The impetus of this trip was a week-long visit with family. My oldest son lives in Korea. He and his girlfriend were planning a trip to the USA. During their planning phase, they settled on Colorado as his brother, their mother, and his sister all live in the Denver area. It was just the best Continue reading

Tickle me with a Red Feather
My son introduced me to his secret camping spot. I cannot divulge that it was in the vicinity of Red Feather CO. This area is part of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. Government/Public land. Free for us publics to use. For now. A certain government administration is talking about selling some of this Continue reading

That’s a lot of red rocks!
Yep, it was a lot of red rocks. And it was all spectacular. Red Rocks, Garden of the Gods. As a geology nerd, I’m almost at rock overload (no I’m not). At Red Rocks they were setting up for a concert, Charlie Crockett was playing that night. We got to hear part of the sound Continue reading

Rocky Mountain High…
And you know where. Wonderful start to the Colorado family gathering 2025. The location has been wonderful. For Tuesday the 24th of June we went to Rocky Mountain National Park. Specifically to the Bear Lake area. We did four of the lakes: Nymph, Dream, Emerald, and finally a hop skip and jump to Bear lake. Continue reading

Oh those Taos nights…
And of course I’m talking about sleep. Which was great. Just the right temp, my fan on low. For an RV park, Taos Valley RV Park is really nice. I would definitely recommend. I’m doing some exploring in old Taos today. Just some light urban (Taos urban) exploring. I parked by Kit Carson Park, and Continue reading

It’s been two days…
Since I’ve showered! You’d better hold your nose. Well, not actually. I have showered now. I am in Taos tonight. The Kaibab Lake campground I stayed at for two nights didn’t have anything but a vault toilet. Right next to my campsite. Convenient, and a neat competition on who smelled worse, me or it. The Continue reading

Not just a regular canyon…
But Grand! Waiting for my pictures to sync to my iPad. But I can still write. I’m a wee bit of a science nerd. And including geology. So a rock nerd. I’ve been anticipating my visit to the canyon for a while. I’ve watched a documentary on the geology of the canyon, and the theories Continue reading

Tucumcari and Conchas Lake State Park
I had a nice dinner on Route 66! I stayed at Conchas Lake State Park located a little more than thirty miles northwest of Tucumcari. The drive up there was along this desolate two lane blacktop. It had a lonesome feel to it. Ranch land on either side. The occasional bored cow throwing a casual Continue reading

Texas and New Mexico
Solo traveling presents its difficulties. Especiallly in taking pictures while driving. As in it’s pretty much impossible. I have a blurry and unreadable picture of the “welcome to New Mexico” sign as evidence. But I get ahead of myself. After leaving OK and entering Texas my goal was to stop at the welcome center and Continue reading
