Learning to Appreciate Harley-Davidson
Harley-Davidson. What comes to mind when you hear that word? Speed…..Power…..Rebellion…..Noise? Do you picture a bunch of boomer travelers trying to recapture their youth as they zoom around the U.S. — and the world — on motorcycles? Alan used to ride a Harley but he sold it before we met. Guess what he did with […]
Saturday’s scene: Another Look at Autumn
Are you a boomer who counts fall as your favorite season? Alan and I agree with you, especially when it comes to photographic opportunities. During a fall photography workshop at Arches National Park, near Moab, Utah, I captured this scene near the trail to Park Avenue. Crouching low to the ground, I angled the camera […]
Learning to Surf at Las Olas
Sorry guys, this post is for the boomer women travelers out there looking for a new adventure. Hey gals, have you ever wondered what it would feel like to surf? I can hear all of you now. “Me? I’m a boomer woman. I’m too old to learn to surf.” Think again. Today, Maria Sutherland shares […]

In case I’ve convinced you to experience the area, here are a few more details of what to expect at Mystic Rose Cabin, which Alan and I discovered […]
Listening To Montana
In your boomer travels, has a place ever spoken to you? On arrival at a destination, did it feel as if you belonged in that very spot? Did your heart beat faster when a voice from somewhere deep inside you said, “This is my paradise”! That’s what happened to me when Alan drove our car […]
