Where We’ve Been
Really? The end of summer? Almost. How can that be? Seems like summer just started. This weekend is Labor Day weekend and many schools start next week. That means….drum roll please…we will have the lakes and rivers to ourselves! Awesome! Especially if a bit of an Indian Summer decides to sneak it’s way in to our area. We decided to …

Yes, it has been hot in the Idaho Panhandle. We have been reaching temperatures up in the high 90’s F, i..e, high 30’s C. Not only that but central and eastern Washington have been battling fires which means the prevailing winds bring some of the smoke our way. The skies have been a bit hazy the past week and the …

One of the first stops is the Lake Havasu …

One of the places we really love to go is the Coeur d’Alene River in the Idaho Panhandle which feeds into Lake Coeur d’Alene from the east. The southern part of the Coeur d’Alene River is known as the Chain Lakes area. There are 10 lakes that feed off the river and there are passageways (channels) that lead you from …

The incredible beauty of the Kenai Fjords is hard to resist. We decided to take a day cruise on Resurrection Bay in the Kenai Fjords National Park departing from Seward. And are we glad we did. It turned out to be a perfect day. The weather was fantastic, the sky was blue, the sea was calm, and we saw tons …

We go to Florida pretty much every year since my mom and many of my relatives are there. My mom was born and raised there so most of my mom’s side of the family resides in and around the Orlando area. Being a photographer, a boater, and loving birding we like to head out on the St. John’s River and …
