Wow, there is so much to see along the Oregon coast. The state of Oregon has kept the entire coastline public. No one can own any of it and if you have a business near it, you cannot restrict access. The result is pristine natural coastlines. Knowing Jennifer, she wanted to see it all, but … Continue reading Beaches, Lighthouses and Seafood: The Southern Oregon Coast Part 2
Beaches, Lighthouses and Dunes: The Southern Oregon Coast Part 1
We arrived at North Bend, Oregon a day earlier than we originally planned. We have spent about a week here exploring up and down the Oregon coast and doing our best to view some of what it has to offer. The temperatures were a very comfortable high 60s in the day and perfect sleeping temps … Continue reading Beaches, Lighthouses and Dunes: The Southern Oregon Coast Part 1

On the Road Again. Finally!
For many it is the journey, not the destination. For today's post, that is what it will be for us. For the last five days we have been on the road to Oregon and the cool coast of the Pacific Ocean. But for you non-geography majors, that means about a 1300 mile drive from Tucson. … Continue reading On the Road Again. Finally!
Sabino Canyon- A Tucson Gem

They are both rugged and serene, lush and barren, and host to 5 separate ecosystem. They are also host to magnificent canyons. The most spectacular and popular of these is Sabino Canyon. A gem of … Continue reading Sabino Canyon- A Tucson Gem
East Comes West
Visitors are what makes a house feel like home, especially family visitors. Besides celebrating Independence Day, the 4th of July also brought the other half of our immediate family out to Arizona to see us. Our other son, and our soon to be daughter-in-law (just 14 days from the day I am writing this) came … Continue reading East Comes West
Roadtrip to Alamo, Tx visiting family
This past week we decided it was time for a road trip. The convergence of being months since we got out of town and on the road, and wanting to see Jennifer's Dad and wife, Otis and Judy, made for the perfect excuse to put some road beneath our tires and miles behind us. So … Continue reading Roadtrip to Alamo, Tx visiting family
Back on the Trail – Finally
These last two months of moving in and getting settled in our house has wrecked havoc on our leisure activities. Golfing, hiking, exploring and date nights were shelved for unpacking, sorting, hanging pictures, construction and installs. Feeling completely exasperated with the sense of being held prisoner in our own home, we made a breakout escape … Continue reading Back on the Trail – Finally

The week started out with a great hike in Saguaro National … Continue reading Hiking, Theater, Playing Golf, and Lunar activities
