At first, I thought Google was wrong. It rarely happens, but was my trusty Google Maps leading me to the wrong location? There have been three times when I wondered what Google was thinking. I would find myself down a “road” that was barely a…
We have visited the North Bay area several times, and I kept omitting to visit this one location. I can’t tell you why. It is effortless to find. It is on the main road leading north of the city, has a huge parking lot, and…
We are planning a big trip to Alaska where we will most of the time tenting instead of hoteling. Tents and campsites are much cheaper than a hotel, plus being in a campsite, out among the stars (and mosquitos) enhances the experience. Hotels are boring,…
