Last stop USA … Whitefish, Montana. Dear friends and Whitefish residents Kurt and Susan Blades were happy to abandon all work and responsibilities on our behalf! Chilly Glacier National Park was the perfect antidote to city living and sweaty armpits. Going-To-The-Sun...
The Lucky Charm’s 2016 Summer Adventure may end up feeling more like a Winter Adventure as we head north two weeks earlier than usual, to MUCH colder weather: Destination Canadian Rockies! But first, a stop at Utah’s utterly astounding Bryce Canyon National Park...
News Flash: the search party for the missing Millers should begin in Estes Park, because we may stay here forever! It has everything you’d imagine Colorado to be: cool temperatures, soaring snow-capped mountain peaks, tall ultra-green trees, wildlife galore, friendly relaxed...
The Lucky Charm took a spin through the Rapid City, SD Airport and grabbed daughter Kelsey for the Mt. Rushmore and Custer portion of our trip. Custer is home to around 1,500 bison (American buffalo) and I was excited to see them up close and personal … but didn’t expect...
With the mercury hitting 115 degrees in Phoenix, it was time to hit the road for our annual 6-week RV adventure in the Lucky Charm: 2,911 miles round-trip throughout Colorado with a side trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota! A trip we have chosen to name “Rocky...
Our final destination of the six-week trip was Yosemite National Park — a trip Philip has dreamed of since he was a teenager and mooned over famous photographer Ansel Adams’ beautiful black and white photos of this gorgeous area. We had a full day to see a mere fraction...
The fourth week of our 2014 Western Adventure had us heading for Redwoods National Forest, in the far northwestern tip of California. The redwoods have been around for 65 million years and are the tallest living things on earth. Can you say BIG BIG BIG? Of course, how could we...
Ahhh, Yellowstone … the mythical, magical, iconic National Park and (most notably) the inspiration for Yogi Bear’s Jellystone. Who hasn’t spent many a Saturday morning in their jammies on the fold-out couch eating Froot Loops and watching Yogi Bear antagonize Mr. Park Ranger...
The journey continues. From Zion in Utah, we proceed to the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. “Grand Teton” apparently means “large teat” in French (and really, who doesn’t love a great boob pun?) but Philip swears that it means “we didn’t pack...
Leaving Page, AZ, our next destination was Zion National Park on the southern edge of Utah. Steep cliffs, narrow canyons, and a park that has remained over 85% wilderness (according to our expert source: the front of a t-shirt in the gift shop) had us excited to get to see this park...
