Travels With Stacey

Often, waterfalls are overlooked, ignored, or even blocked. During the research phase of my trip planning, I cannot list the number of times I found a waterfall to explore, only to discover that someone built a road and bridge over it. I have always wondered…

If you look at our Let’s Play Hooky, Cleveland Style travel itinerary, I had only allocated one hour at this museum. We have travelled enough that when I plan all the places to see, I have a good sense of how long we will be at a…

I often wonder how places get their names. Hobuck is unique. I have never heard of another place like this and would love to learn of the original of its name. Another part of the name – Flats – is more perplexing. We had some…
