I came back to my room at the Porto Alegre Sheraton late last night only to discover that none of my belongings were in it. Continue reading

I’ve been fortunate enough to have been able to travel to many places in this world. Here are a few pictures and posts related to some of those places.
Oregon Country Fair 2014 – Friday
This is the real world. The other 362 days of the year are just a Dilbert comic strip. Continue reading
SP14D – End of the Road … Trip
I made it home. It was good. I saw a lot of things I hadn’t seen before. I carried around a lot of stuff that I didn’t need to. All in all a typical road trip. I didn’t take many pictures, but here are a few… Continue reading
SP14D – Day 12, Grand Views
I got up at 3am hoping to get to the canyon edge and take some star pictures before the sun came up. Unfortunately it was already too light by the time I got there. I’ve never been to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon before this and I didn’t … Continue reading
SP14D – Day 11, Been There, Done That
Well, I made it to Monument Valley. It didn’t do it for me. Some places are a little too commercial. I keep wanting to check to see if I still have my wallet. It also attracts an interesting group of people. There’s a road to the valley floor from the … Continue reading

SP14D – Day 8, Rocks and Flowers
I usually use Google maps to give me a route to my next destination, even if I don’t make it there. Google maps has an “avoid highways” option that usually works pretty well. Today it worked a bit too well. I asked for the route from Grand Junction to Moab … Continue reading
SP14D – Day 7, The World is Big! Really Big!
The intent today, of course, was to finally make it to Moab and, of course, I haven’t made it there yet. I started the day by driving to Josie’s cabin at the end of the road that my campground is located on. There are petroglyphs along the way; a lot … Continue reading
SP14D – Day 6, Dinosaurs!
Today was dinosaur day. I had planned to stop by the visitor center only briefly, but it was so interesting I ended up camping nearby. The geology is incredible. What an amazing variety of formations all mashed together. It was also beautiful. This is a terrific time to visit. The … Continue reading
