I’ve not been as regular with this blogging as I’d like- too busy adventuring, I guess. So I decided to treat myself for my birthday and update all my own websites, launch a new product and put my own digital house in order. Why not? Allow me to indulge in some updates, longish post ahead,

We drove into Oregon in the wee hours of the morning with the goal of spending the day at Crater Lake National Park. I had seen photos and heard of this National Park and was also celebrating being able to use my America The Beautiful pass now that the government sequestration is over. The only

What a pleasure to be back on the road! We flew back from NYC to San Jose, where Ms Piggy Motorhome had been parked waiting patiently for us for 3 weeks. She was totally fine, if just a bit dirty, and ready for adventure. I had been worried about the front end alignment, and after

Meandering north from San Francisco and Sausalito to visit friends in Sebastapol, I happened upon a hot rod car show in Fairfax, CA. Rt 1 on a Sunday morning… don’t take it if you mind traffic. DO take it if you want to discover something beautiful, fun or interesting. I always prefer the slower, more

Traveling from Los Angeles northward was only going to happen one way. PCH. Legendary for a reason. This is a road that should have been experience on two wheels, but the quandary is I also needed to keep moving, so I put the Vespa on the hitch and hit the road. One day soon, I

It’s pretty obvious that I have a “thing” for cool rides, of both the two- (three!) and four-wheeled variety. I’m not the detail-oriented type that can give you all the specs on any given vehicle. I just know fabulous when I see it. And, I did. I was filling up Ms Piggy (oh, that takes

With the arrival of Ms Piggy in our lives, we now carry our home with us. As a fully self-contained unit, we can live off the grid (I like “Off the Cord” a term I first read on Gone With The Wynns). Add in my love of solar power and most of my needs are

It hardly seems like it could be two months since I’ve last seen Brooklyn- and yet it seems like such a long time ago. The twists and turns, ups and downs, awe and heartbreak. Now that I own a mini-motorhome and no longer have the (minor) annoyance of unpacking every night just to pack up

  While I had few plans on the Vespa trip, it was always intended that I’d ride through Joshua Tree National Park and toward Los Angeles. The “Arizona” segment made this not quite possible, but I was intrigued with the famed national park nonetheless. It did not disappoint. By the way, would any kid of
