Travels With Stacey

Earl is a 9 ton, all steel bison that is on the side of the road. It is hard to miss when driving in the Earlton area. I had decided to pull over for this mini-stop and a quick picture. I really appreciate that there…

We finally got to do this. Years of delays. Then figuring out how to get the time off. Planning. More planning. And then there was the money aspect. Once all of these were set, we drove to Alaska. It has always been a dream of…

Yorkville had its twice-a-year Fleur Des Ville exhibit.  This is quickly becoming a tradition to see these floral displays throughout the community.  I had decided to take my mother to see these exquisite arrangements.  One of the stops was Gardiner Museum.  This was a perfect…

I have a guideline when I start to plan a road trip: two hours per day.  If it is just a day trip, then the farthest I want to travel is two hours.  This gives us plenty of time to drive there, explore what is…
