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.
Winging it at the Astoria Column
Perched high on a hill above Astoria, Oregon is a beautiful and intricate memorial built in 1925. You can launch a balsa wood airplane while taking in the view of the Columbia River as it meets the Pacific Ocean.
Biking Portland
If you're going to bike on city streets, make it Portland. Drivers know the rules, dedicated lanes are there for cyclists, and you can get around town quickly.
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.
I'm a Lumberjack (or so I thought)
Lumberjacks in Pigeon Forge? That's what we found on a visit to the Great Smoky Mountains, learning a bit of history and culture at the Great Smoky Mountain Lumberjack Feud Dinner Show.
Counting on Ninety Six
Established in the 1750s, Ninety Six, South Carolina grew around an important crossroads. Its important role in the American Revolution is now interpreted at this National Historic Site.
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.
Kayaking Branson
A paddling trip down Branson's Lake Taneycomo moves at a much more rapid pace than we expect as John puts his talents to work snapping photos of our flotilla.
