Mayo – Music to Our Ears
Mayo – Music to Our Ears
The charming, tidy town of Westport in County Mayo is a big one for music, so despite our long day’s drive down from County Donegal, Hector and I summoned the energy in the evening to stop in at Matt Molloy’s,…
Magical Loreto Bay
Magical Loreto Bay
The road south from Santa Rosalía to Loreto passes through absolutely magnificent scenery, particularly along Bahía Concepción on the stretch of coastal road between Mulegé and Cadegé. Numerous sandy beaches sported informal RV parks and camps with a sleepy yet…
Two People in a Prius for a Year
Two People in a Prius for a Year
“Wow, a year-long road trip visiting America’s national parks? Sounds awesome! The trip of a lifetime!” That was the reaction we often got from people before, during and after our project celebrating the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service…
A Royally Good Time on Isle Royale
A Royally Good Time on Isle Royale
For anyone wanting to really get away from it all, it’s hard to beat the remote Isle Royale National Park in northern Lake Superior. Isle Royale takes a bit of advance planning and logistical decision-making, but it is well worth…
Acadia: The Maine Attraction
Acadia: The Maine Attraction
Tucked up in Maine across the Atlantic from Nova Scotia, Acadia National Park is a coastal delight. Upon arrival late in the afternoon, we made our way to the Blackwoods Campground on the southern end of Mount Desert Island, the…
Bucking the Trend in Cabo

When many people think of Los Cabos — Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo — at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, they picture the beach, trendy nightclubs, luxury resorts and golfing with an ocean view.…

A Peaceful Time in La Paz

A Peaceful Time in La Paz

Leaving Loreto behind, we headed south on Highway 1 for the five-hour drive to La Paz, whose name means “the peace” in Spanish. The highway veered from the coast toward the center of the peninsula, climbing and descending numerous mountain…

The French Connection in Santa Rosalia

The French Connection in Santa Rosalia

The road from El Marasal/Vizcaino/Villa Alberto Andres Alvarado Arámburo to Santa Rosalía on the Gulf Coast climbs up and down through the mountains, and accidents are common on the narrow and winding stretches. Many people drive recklessly, often going twice…

Moving on to the Middle

Moving on to the Middle

We left Bahía de los Angeles and drove back toward Highway 1, the peninsula’s principal north-south thoroughfare. This highway is not for nervous drivers. In many sections the pavement is very narrow, lacking shoulders or guardrails, and often elevated as…

Boojums and Bays in Baja

Boojums and Bays in Baja

Several kilometers south of San Felipe, a newly paved stretch of highway extended well past Puertecitos (where our map showed the pavement terminating). We clipped along at a decent speed, hoping we’d be at our next destination quicker than expected. Alas,…

Adventure Continues South of the Border

Adventure Continues South of the Border

For years we’ve wanted to drive the length of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, and in December 2016 at the tail end of Project 100, we had our chance. We had already been on the road since January and hit 48…

Hello, Saguaro, My Old Friend

Hello, Saguaro, My Old Friend

The final park in our grand 2016 National Park Service centennial adventure was the one closest to home, Saguaro National Park in Tucson. I’ve lived in Arizona for decades but until now had never been to the park, and if…

Two national parks — Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns — sit not far from one another in a little corner of far west Texas and southeastern New Mexico, and in fact they are part of the same mountain system. We…
