Accidentally falling in love with the California Zephyr

May 2, 2013 by Eric White2 Comments

I haven’t always been enamored with trains. In my past travels, I had been on several rails both in the United States on the east coast and also through small parts of Europe. Those times however, I was too young and naive to appreciate the significance and beauty of a well-placed rail. Now, more than three months into my newly nomadic lifestyle and about 10 years since my last rail adventure overseas, trains have become a larger and more … [Read more...]

The Artist and the Tinker

June 6, 2011 by Ellen DentonLeave a Comment

wyoming

Some couples are as different as night and day. That's the way it was with my husband Bill and myself. There were a legion of differences, but probably the biggest was that I considered myself the artist and the only one of us that had any truly creative spirit. I would consider the things I did as a crafting of ideas with the fine and incisive beam of a laser mind and would think of Bill (who had worked as a general contractor in the … [Read more...]

Boxtick America goes Gold Mining

Travel Life List

July 25, 2010 by Dave5 Comments

I was recently stuck in the Miami airport for 5 dreaded hours (not because of the particular airport, but because I hate long connection times) and I was talking to Maggie who runs Mighty Girl and maintains her own Life List. We were discussing top 10 life experience lists based on experts in their fields. My focus would be on travel of course; here is my top 10 list in no particular order. Perspective. This is a word that defines travel. … [Read more...]

Spring has Sprung in “Green” Mendocino County!

March 26, 2010 by DaveLeave a Comment

MENDOCINO COUNTY, CA - (March 26, 2010) - Mendocino County comes alive during the spring season, when vineyards awaken with new leafy canopies, goats and sheep are hard at work grazing and tilling in the pastures, and the bright yellow patches of daffodils and wild purple iris dot the landscape. It's a great time for nature walks, bird and whale watching, kayaking along the Noyo River, and taking in the warm days & cool nights. Spring … [Read more...]

Yosemite – Attractions & Activities

by Dave · Leave a Comment

Mariposa Sequoia Grove is the largest grove in the area and is located just 2 miles from the southern park entrance along Highway 41. Note that the Mariposa Grove Road is closed during the winter so you have to park at the park's south entrance and walk 4 miles roundtrip to the grove. This grove is also home to the Grizzly Giant, one of the largest Sequoia trees in the world. Another place to visit these giant trees is at the smaller Tuolumne … [Read more...]

Morocco: Where is my crown of olives?

February 20, 2006 by Solomon RastagarLeave a Comment

There is far more to Morocco, Al Maghreb, as it is known among its citizens, than I can describe in just a short little blurb. Other than the intrusions of various cultures into this part of the african continent, the geography plays a large role in shaping Morocco as well. First and foremost, the High Atlas mountain range dominates the heart of the land. Eclipsed only by Kenya's volcanic Mt. Kilimanjaro, the High Atlas rise to a maximum … [Read more...]
