Few things in life better than the smell of summer woods after a rain. Go ahead, close your eyes and imagine… it’s even better than that! Keep Riding Local, Dreaming Global, helping your neighbors (at a proper distance, of course), and rolling safe- and wear a mask! Hope to see you on the road on […]

Low and Slow at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome
Vintage motorcycles, airplanes, and automobiles, my idea of a perfect destination! Finding ourselves with a few days to travel, we aimed toward the Catskills in New York. Remembering I’d wanted to visit the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome years ago, PrettyWife the Navigator planned our ride to get us there for a show- and what a show […]

Sailing, Takes Me Away… (sorry ;-) )
I know I often go on and on about the beauty of the Great Lakes, living on Lake Erie in particular, and I make no apologies for having so much to share. The changing seasons, the shifting sands, the storms, the flora and fauna, and those glorious sunrises and sunsets- always something wonderful to capture […]
Two-Up Traveling: First Overnight Trip
