Monoliths on the Nebraska Prairie
Flat, dry plains stretch across the Oregon Trail in an endless, mind-numbing carpet of dirt scrub and sky. Rivers, streaking through in all directions, counter the monotony with episodes of drama and terror. Rattlesnakes hide in the bushes, or sunbathe on the rocks, storing up venom and dread. From the…[Read more]

The small town of Wamego, Kansas (population 4,246) is home to a museum dedicated to the Wizard of Oz and its creator, L. Frank Baum. To me, the most interesting of the 2,000 artifacts included first edition books, vintage film posters, Oz board games and historical tidbits about the actors and directors. And the shoes. Oh, those [...] -

Gothenburg, Nebraska to Glenrock, Wyoming Mike can subsist all day on bubble gum, fried pork rinds, candy bars and Diet Coke. I cannot. This causes some friction between us, especially at mealtime, which, depending who you ask, could be any time of the day or night. What doesn’t cause friction between us is how to negotiate [...] -

One of the best photographers I’ve had the privilege to work with at Oregon Lakes & Rivers is Michel Hersen – a Portland, Oregon-based shutter bug. Here is an image he sent recently from Colorado, at state whose heights I found myself missing during the long, flat drive through Kansas. Absolutely stunning! See more of Michel’s images . [...] -

My new favorite gadget for the RV is a Skoy. A what? Part sponge, part paper towel, this sturdy little baby knocks them both off the shelf. The Skoy cloth is strong, absorbent, reusable, biodegradable and it comes in sassy colors. Another great feature of the Skoy is that it doesn’t stink. Here’s why: to kill [...] -

I’d like to begin by assuring our friends at Big Country RV that Mike knows a superb auto body repair & paint shop back in Bend. And, as my grandmother always used to say, “The important thing is that nobody got hurt.” The teeny tiny little dent in the side of our trailer happened at [...] -

Today we left the grand peaks of Colorado rising 14,000 feet above us, to drive the flat, wide-open plains of Kansas (where the mean elevation is 2,000 feet above sea level). I don’t understand Kansas. To someone who was raised in the Pacific Northwest, Kansas seems like a vast and barren wasteland. Where are the [...] -

Moab, Utah So strange in its shapes and textures and colors, that arriving in the interior of Arches National Park feels like we’ve been transported to another planet altogether. Mars comes to mind. “Call ‘em as you see ‘em” was the guiding principal when it came to naming the various rock formations, and such monikers as “The [...] -

Day 4 Accumulated Miles: 1,049 Eastern Utah: The land spreads out in low, muted rises, as if time has drained out all the color and any hint of plant life. Peaks rise up in worn geometrical shapes: squares, oblongs, rectangles, pyramids and slanting triangles, rubbed soft from the wind and rain. In the far distance we can see [...]

Autumn 1747: I am a Native American princess, my wet black hair streaming behind me as the warm water tumbles into a sandy pool at my feet. The Payette River runs past me, just a stone’s throw from the rock wall at my back, swirling from white-capped rapids into deep blue pools where the fish come [...]
