The posts we are sharing here on our travel blog are on a delay with our current location; in other words, we’re behind with posting about our adventures once again! I’m writing this from Flagstaff where tomorrow we pick up Claire & Kyle from the airport to commence our rafting trip down the Colorado River …
I had wanted to see it since I saw the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind way back in the late 80s. Since then I have seen the film at least five other times, and a portion of it too many other times to count, and every time it came on the screen I would …
#48 – Iowa. #49 – Nebraska. We have now visited 49 of the 50 states on our Out There journey! Our last one will be North Dakota which we have slated to visit in July, but let me back up and tell you how we came to visit the Hawkeye and Cornhusker states and what …

Grand Teton NP is just …
This is my second photo post on Grand Teton National Park, and includes photos from a rather challenging hike that I undertook, and a stripped-down perspective on a number of previously-displayed images.
