    (Road) Tripping to a Psychedelic Conference

    July 9, 2023 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    We completed a truly historic road trip in June, 2023. We traveled from our little hilltop in eastern Washington to Denver, to the largest, most comprehensive, and truly eclectic psychedelic conference, sponsored by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a nonprofit working to raise awareness and understanding of psychedelic

    Stop 133: The Road Home

    April 30, 2020 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    The last stops on our 2.5-year road trip are a mix of overnight layovers and 2-night stopovers, as we strategically make our way during the Covid Crisis from Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains to Eastern Washington, just north of Spokane. It has been a bizarre and crazy drive — with campgrounds

    Stop 132: Oh Virginia! Blue Ridge Beautiful

    April 9, 2020 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    It was a bit risky given the current circumstances and panic over Covid-19, but we were determined to make a quick dash into Virginia and end this 2.5-year road trip as planned, albeit a few weeks early… visiting the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah National Park before turning westward and

    Stop 130: Kentucky’s Cows, Caves… and Covid-19

    March 25, 2020 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    Per our usual travels, we crisscrossed through Kentucky — state #47, the second-to-last state in our quest to visit all 48 continental states on this part of the adventures — starting in Paducah, located in the southwestern part of the state, at the confluence of the Tennessee and the Ohio

    Stop 127: The Highs and Lows of Our Second Trip Into Georgia

    March 2, 2020 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    Our return to Georgia started out uneventfully, with a wonderful visit to Columbus, the third-largest city in the state and located near the west-central border of the state — along the Chattahoochee River (a tributary of the Apalachicola River) — about 100 miles southwest of Atlanta. Fun and crazy fact:

    Stop 125: Fun in Florida… Part Four: Panhandle

    January 31, 2020 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    While we were sad leaving Cedar Key, we were also excited to continue the exploration of Florida… moving into our final phase by exploring areas of the Florida Panhandle, which is a strip of land roughly 200 miles long and 50 to 100 miles wide, lying between Alabama on the

    Stop 120: Visiting the Epic and Enormous Everglades

    December 28, 2019 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    Imagine a vista of grass and water, with a few small tree islands sprinkled about the horizon, for as far as the eyes can see… filled with waterfowl like Anhingas and Egrets as well as alligators and turtles… and you have an idea of the everglades. Florida has three national

    Stop 111: Dropping into the Hudson Valley and Delaware Water Gap

    November 4, 2019 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    As we closed in on our week-long visit to New Jersey and New York City, we decided to veer west from our last location in Connecticut and spend a week in nature in the Hudson Valley region of New York and the Delaware Water Gap in Pennsylvania. Ironically, our first

    Stop 109: Mesmerized by Maine

    October 21, 2019 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    We made three stops in Maine, but our focus was on Acadia National Park — mainly because neither of us had ever visited the park. Maine, the 34th state we have visited on this road-trip, is an interesting state…. known as the The Pine Tree State, it is known for

    Stop 96: Moving Through Michigan

    July 27, 2019 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    We left Wisconsin and headed into Michigan — state #25 — via the Upper Peninsula, or U.P. as most folks call it… arriving in the Munising area for yet another look at Lake Superior, this time on the southern shores, which offer stunning sandstone cliffs, sand dunes, and waterfalls —
