Last week I was at the spectacular Arches National Park in Utah. Sure, it was hot and there were a ton of tourists, but it was still a fabulous visit. This is a must-see national park, with gorgeous vistas and interesting rock formations at every turn. Definitely...

I haven’t written much about my Southern Scamp from last year. It was an interesting trip, with plenty of beauty and kitsch and hospitality. (And barbecue. Obviously.) But there were also some odd moments. Creepy, even. One of them happened at Graceland Too in...

Even though the last Scampabout was woefully short – as in, 48 hours short – I did manage to see some beautiful sights. Flaming Gorge, Utah, near the Wyoming border, is gorgeous. (Zing!) Here are a few shots I liked: If you liked this post, feel free to...

So there we were, me, Sam, and Sadie. On the road and heading north toward Glacier National Park. This was a do-over of the same trip attempt last year, that got called after only a week because of a series of mishaps that sent us back home, tails and spare tires...
