Winter has also brought... Read more... |

ON THE ROAD - CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' FROM DESERT TO OCEAN WAVES
California welcomed us with the captivating sight of the Imperial Sand Dunes rising like a mini Sahara on each side of Interstate 8. A road sign proclaimed "Sea Level." Only 4,000 feet in elevation to climb and we’d arrive at our home for a few months—Sacred Rocks Reserve RV Park. On the ascent, red blossoms beautified ocotillo cacti. Huge brown boulders formed nubby mountains. Intriguing rock shapes teased us to give them fanciful names. Twice we were stopped at checkpoints...Read more... |

ON THE ROAD - WESTWARD HO!: FROM THE LAND OF OZ TO THE PAINTED DESERT
When we hit the highway for points west, my body tingled with anticipation. The trip coincided with my favorite time of year — the transition of summer into autumn. It promised warm days and cool nights, clear blue skies and the first hints of color change. On a bright sunny day,the road led us through the rich greenery of the Ozark Mountains to Kansas. The Land of Oz’s pastures, wind farms and wheat fields lulled us into a peaceful rhythm of the road until...Read more... |

ON THE ROAD - LIFE IN THE OZARKS: MUSIC, MOUNTAINS AND MAIN STREET
The Ozark Mountains in southwest Missouri became our spring and summer home. To our Rockies-conditioned eyes, these old mountains looked like hills until we drove their steep slopes. In early spring, redbud and dogwood trees dappled the leafless forests with pink and white blossoms. Unfurling leaves gradually turned the slopes into a rainbow of greens-from iridescent to deep emerald hues. We basked in the rich greenery of the deciduous forests and still reveled in its beauty months later. Read more... |

ON THE ROAD - QUIET,SIMPLE LIVING IN OLD FLORIDA
From Florida's Gulf Coast beaches, we headed inland to Old Florida. Small towns, orchards, cow pastures and strip mines replaced luxury residential developments, traffic congestion, beaches and marinas. Gone were the amenities and conveniences of city life. The pace slowed. Options dwindled. Quiet, simple living took hold. Read more... |

ON THE ROAD - CITY SIGHTS AND WILDLIFE
Before leaving South Carolina, we took a final walk on the beach. Neither dolphins nor pelicans made an appearance. Maybe they hate good-byes as much as we do. When we merged into the roaring, manic traffic on Interstate 95, my peace of mind leaped out the window. Legendary Savannah, Georgia soon soothed me with its charm. Measuring one square mile, the historic district is easily walkable. Read more... |

ON THE ROAD - THAT OLD KENTUCKY HOME
Across the state, we found Kentuckians to be friendly, helpful and more than willing to decipher our accent anytime we struck up a conversation. By the way, it's the hue of the seeds on the tips of the blades of grass that makes Kentucky's grass "blue." Read more... |

Wanderlust. If you're smitten with it, you know the symptoms: the soles of your feet get itchy, and your heart swells with yearning to hit the road and seek sights beyond the horizon. For years my husband and I dreamed of pulling up stakes and traveling the roads of America. Read more... |
