So, in all the time that I’ve been here in Port Orford, I never took a tour of the lighthouse or the Huges House located in the state park. It took the visit of a vacationing friend to get me inside! Here’s a bit…
Tidbits
Well, it’s been wetter and windier than normal here on the coast of Oregon but summer is finally getting here! I’ve been pretty busy with work so I don’t have any new places to show (yet) but thought I’d share a few pictures of…
SOOOOO…. I am BACK in Port Orford, Oregon for the summer. I’d planned on going to the east coast this summer but, just in case I was needed by my sister in Tucson, the distance from here is definitely more doable. (Making the 5200+…
I haven’t done a TON of exploring yet but I thought I’d share these pictures I took at Camp Blanco State Park, New River Nature Center, Humbug Mountain State Park, Paradise Point Recreation Site, Tseriadun State Recreation Site, Port Orford Lifeboat Station, and a few…
I’m finishing up a month in Pinetop/Lakeside Arizona enjoying the cooler weather and the easy hikes in the White Mountain Trail system – which is a series of multi-use, major loop trails and connector trails in the Apache-Sitegreaves National Forests. I’ve enjoyed my stay…
… is exhausting! These guys are right outside my window so I get to watch their antics and I couldn’t help but share just how cute they are. (Although, when I was landscaping professionally and they were merrily munching on my spring bulbs –…
I love the desert in the spring. The flowering season spans from mid February to mid June with a peak from mid March to late April depending on rainfall and temperatures during the growing season. I’m usually gone by April 1st, off to more…
I spent the winter of 2015 in Florida and, I have to say, I’m just not very fond of the place. I’m more of a mountain girl than a ocean girl and Florida’s highest point above sea level is only 345′ (Britton Hill). I did…
The Franklin Car Museum is a great little place to visit while you’re in Tucson, Arizona. The H.H. Franklin Manufacturing Company of Syracuse, NY built America’s most successful air-cooled automobile, from 1902-1934. Of the 150,000 Franklins built, it’s estimated that about 3,700 have survived.
A quick jaunt yesterday took me down to the Boardman State Park area; which I fell in love with back in 2013. This is a short, easy trail to fantastic views. Best of all? I had the place to myself even on a Saturday.
Wow. I haven’t posted anything in AGES and that’s mostly because I haven’t done anything exciting since last year. That makes me rather sad too! lol. I’m back in Buena Vista Colorado this year until October so I’ll be repeating some of the hikes…
I made a quick stop at Fort Ticonderoga earlier this summer. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera so my cell phone camera had to suffice. Named Carillon by the French in 1755 and known to the soldiers in the American Revolution as “the old French…
