After six weeks of downtime spent with family and friends in Seattle (with a quick trip to Toronto & Montreal for me), we left our northwest base on October 11 bound for warmer climes — with a general itinerary through Southeast Washington State, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, leading to our final ‘winter’ destination in Desert […]
Late July, we took Mr. Bond (our motorhome) and Moneypenny (our little tow car) to the verdant meadows of Southern Tennessee and Kentucky… where entire fields of bluegrass and horse pastures are mowed with managed precision! Knoxville, from Scruffy to Sleek We really, really liked Knoxville, Tennessee! The general impression from our 4-day visit […]
Today’s blog has a definite musical theme, as we drove Mr. Bond through East Arkansas, North Mississippi and Southern Tennessee.

“Ter… what??!! Terlingua? Is that a place or a disease? It’s not even on the map! What is there to do for 6 days in a place that’s not even on the map?!!!!!” These words eminently spoken by my dear husband and travel partner on the eve of our departure for Terlingua, TX. It was […]
