There are several National Parks you can easily reach off of I-10, which runs coast to coast to coast — Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific. This trip, I visited three of these parks that I had never seen before. They were Saguaro, Guadalupe Mountain, and Carlsbad Caverns. Saguaro is a desert environment with the prototypical cactus. […]
Having just experienced the eastern portion of the United States, from the nation’s capitol in Washington, D.C., to the rocky coast of Maine, to the tropical Florida marshland, I now head west. I will visit with Dad on Father’s Day before traveling onward to Arches, Mesa Verde, the Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone. From my casual […]
As a note, I try to add a new post every week to 10 days. Much of the timing depends on access to wi-fi networks on my laptop. I find these mostly at hotels and RV campgrounds. Because I tend to like parks and remote out-of-the-way places, which usually do not have any reliable wi-fi, […]
Hi folks! Last weekend, I visited Washington D. C. and saw the National Mall, its museums and monuments. Now, I hardly know where to begin with its description.

Hi! I am back on the road “Wander”ing after a week in the greater Bay Area in Northern California. I spent a week at Doran Beach campground in Bodega Bay, (a favorite beachside haunt the past six years,) and at my school’s 40th class reunion in Oakland. I will write more on these topics below; […]
As I made my way back to California, and my high school class’s 40th reunion, the constellations in the desert night sky led me to Joshua Tree National Park this past week. I am a big fan of the national parks. Always, they offer well-marked trails to hike, well-maintained roads to drive, and bargain rate […]
Here today, gone to Maui Kawika retired in blissful solitude, hit the road, and wanted to share his travels with friends and family. I landed on Maui, one of the beautiful islands in the state of Hawaii, on 2018-03-18. I lodged at the Maui Kai mini-resort (pool/bbq area, jr. suites on the water, kitchens, washer-dryer down […]
