Photography, Fun, and Adventure in the U.S.
Autumn in New England definitely is amazing, and our time in Vermont and New Hampshire was absolutely wonderful. The leaves on the trees — the golds, oranges, and reds — were simply spectacular and a memory we will definitely cherish. If you have New England in autumn on your bucket
From the Niagara Falls area, we drove eastward, partly along the deserted (and dilapidated) Lake Ontario State Parkway and NY-104, somewhat following the shores of Lake Ontario through Rochester into Oswego… and to our wonderful little campground — Sunset RV Park –located across the street from the lake! Lake Ontario
New York state has been a big and wonderful surprise for us. Even though Ran attended Syracuse University as an undergrad, he never really explored the area much beyond the university. The Finger Lakes were fantastic, as highlighted in our last blog post, but the Central New York region offers
We left Duluth and immediately crossed over the St. Louis River into Superior, Wisconsin… on our way to Osseo for a quick layover before arriving at our official first stop in state #24 — Wisconsin Dells, “the Waterpark Capital of the World,” and most certainly a major tourist attraction (a
The second half of our adventures in Minnesota (state #23) took us to Bemidji, International Falls, and Duluth… to amazing natural areas with lots of history (some good, some bad)… and smack into the heart of mosquito and tick country! We also discovered northern Minnesota seems to be the land

We left Cortez and headed north to Montrose, with a focus on our 36th national park: Black Canyon of the Gunnison. The south entrance to the park, which is the only one that remains open in the winter, is located about 15 miles east of Montrose. (The park closes most
Oklahoma… the Sooner State… and the 19th state we have visited on our journey. What’s a Sooner? That’s what we wanted to know! Sooners were settlers who got a jump-start on land claims during a land run in the late 1800s; beyond that, too hard to explain… just Google it
We crossed over the Mississippi River and landed in the nice little town of Lake Village, Arkansas — within the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (Delta). The town offers a great Arkansas Welcome Center, as well as access to numerous trails, scenic drives, and historic sites. Springs seem to dominate The Natural
We ended our travels through Texas with a little two-step dance through the towns of Huntsville and Beaumont. Huntsville is approximately 70 miles north of Houston in the East Texas Piney Woods and we camped out in the very pretty 2,083-acre Huntsville State Park, located about six miles southwest of
