Off The Beaten Path.......


This is one of the most beautiful places I've been to. What a surprise to find out we didn't have to travel 1000 miles to find a secluded, quiet, breathtaking place. This was taken from our campsite at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, right on Lake Superior.

Space, Not The Final Frontier

Everyone makes fun of states where you have stretches where you drive through......."nothing." I absolutely LOVE western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming. I always have. Heading east from IL, you have the rolling hills of Iowa, and then the corn and wheat fields of Nebraska. And then things start to change. You have rolling fields. Endless coal trains in the distance. Plateaus. The land starts to change as you do this slow steady climb. If it wasn't for your gas mileage, you might not even realize that you are indeed ever so slowly increasing in elevation. Would I love it as much without the knowledge of the breathtaking beauty of the mountains that are just beyond the horizon? You can look out and almost imagine the wagon trains heading this same path. Because nothing has changed. Take out the telephone poles and wires, the oil wells, and occasional cell towers, and you'd see what the pioneers saw. Space. Lots of space.

I almost forgot I actually got a picture of this. This is the eagle that was flying over the beach, and I remember thinking that I couldn't believe how HUGE it was. This one actually came lower but had moved higher by time I got the camera out!!

What's not to like???? I LOVE this state!!!
