Hike to Smuggler’s Cove in Skagway, AK

Tree near Yakutania Point

Skagway, once a Klondike gold-rush boomtown, today thrives mainly on tourism. We’d been here twice before on Alaskan cruises, so we’d done many of the day excursions in the area. After spending all day yesterday exploring the downtown Klondike Gold

The Washed Ashore Project: Saving the Seas With Amazing Art

Sculpture of a salmon jumping from the water

We stumbled upon what initially looked to be an unassuming art gallery in Old Town Bandon-by-the-Sea on the southern Oregon coast. Once inside, however, we realized that it was actually much more than that. Huge sculptures filled the space, and when we looked at them closely, we realized that each of them was made from thousands of pieces of trash!

“Ambassadors from Another Time” in Redwood National and State Parks

The Prairie Creek Trail passes right through two gigantic redwoods

This past Monday, we continued our exploration of California’s redwood coast (and checked another national park off our list!) at Redwood National and State Parks. John Steinbeck called the redwoods “ambassadors from another time”, and he was right.

Feeling Small on the Avenue of the Giants

Beautiful view looking up into the Founders Grove

One of our “must-sees” in northern California was the tallest living things on earth are the Coast Redwoods, sequoia sempervirens. Sixty-five million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the planet, groves of these stately trees covered much of the northern hemisphere. The ice age and subsequent changes in climate and topography eliminated most of these giants,

Hiking in Patrick’s Point State Park, California

View northeast from top of Wedding Rock

With heavy rain in the forecast for the next several days, I decided to spend the afternoon exploring nearby Patrick’s Point State Park, a densely tree- and meadow-covered headland that juts into the Pacific Ocean. The entrance to the park is just a few hundred yards down the road from Azalea Glen, so I walked there from our house.

A Trip Back in Time at Historic Wireless Station KPH

We took a photo of the tree tunnel, and then checked out the Art Deco building. Why were all those antennas still here? On the right front of the building, we found our answer. We stumbled on an unassuming door, pulled the handle, and walked 80 years back in time into historic Radio Station KPH.

“Experience Comes from Bad Judgment”: A Nail-Biting Drive Through San Francisco

“Experience Comes from Bad Judgment”: A Nail-Biting Drive Through San Francisco

As I headed into the turn, I remember saying out loud, “I sure hope I don’t regret this.”

Danger, Will Robinson, danger!

Yeah, I regretted it almost immediately.

Our Day in Foggy Ventura, California

Entrance to Channel Islands National Park Visitor's Center

In our quest to see as many of the National Parks as we can, we researched Channel Islands National Park, to discover that you have to take a boat to get there and that it is comprised of several islands and that would take several trips to explore them all. So we opted to go to the Visitor’s Center…
