Crossing Yorkshire
Crossing Yorkshire in a coach on a British Isles tour with John's parents, we barely scratched the surface of this moody, fascinating countryside.
The Angel Oak
A stately ancient live oak thought to be more than 1,500 years old, the Angel Oak is on John's Island in the South Carolina Lowcountry near Charleston.
The Mississippi Sandhill Crane
Bringing an endangered species back from the brink of extinction, the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge provides a success story for conservation.
Still Life, with Cows
Completing the entire Florida Trail means miles of pavement pounding. On this lonely dead-end road in Basinger, my companions are cows.
Lake Okeechobee’s High Point
Views from the top: this Florida Trail roadwalk between the two sides of Port Mayaca offers an excellent perspective on the lake.
Walking the Reservation
Hiking the Seminole Reservation between L-3 Canal and the Big Cypress Campground is mostly a roadwalk – more dirt roads than paved – but is quite scenic and interesting.
Last Moments of Wild
At Dos De Enero Ranch along the boundary of Torres Del Paine National Park in Chile, I witnessed the last moments of the fiery spirit of this wild stallion.
Haunted by Eureka Springs
Discover the weird in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a Victorian village in the Ozarks with both gruesome ghosts and Wild West history.
Exploring Maquoketa Caves State Park
Your view of Iowa is turned upside down at Maquoketa Caves State Park, a family-friendly caving destination south of Dubuque that lets you climb right in and explore wild caves.
