I *still* remember Liard hot springs from 1960s! It was really hot. Sure would like a hot springs now ... we're freezing here in Iowa. 45 degrees, rainy.
Love Liard Hot Springs!But two years ago there was an unprovoked bear attack there on the boardwalk that killed two and seriously injured two more. It is readily searchable on the internet. Bears in this part of the country are SEEMINGLY becoming more aggressive. warming? encroachment? lack of hunting pressure- I don't know. We take a measured jaunt into the woods each time. Be aware. Stay aware.Carry repellent. Or be able to run faster than your companions.....
I've had a great life so far! I've been a lifeguard, a teacher, a dive master, a retail business owner, a technical writer, a landscaper, a property manager and now, saints preserve, a blogger. I've lived in PA, ME, FL and Roatan, Honduras. Now I'm on a tour of the US of A in a motorcoach with my incredible wife, Marilyn, and the memory of our way cool dogs, Abby and Carly. And with any luck at all, this is just the beginning...
Just A Note: We lost our dear traveling companion and Wonderdog Abby back in July of 2010. Just don't have the will to take her presence down since she still travels with us in our hearts and minds every which way we go....her sister Carly departed before our tour began, but she rides "shotgun" none-the-less.

This is a "live" map. You can click on the map tacks to see where we have been, are, or will be in the future. The plain markers are future destinations. The markers with the black dot in them are places where we either have been or are now. You can find out the dates of arrival (hopefully), campground name, and perhaps pictures and other info as the map develops. Give it a try! This map is currently in the "planning and development stage." Previous trip maps may be viewed and accessed below.... some of our earlier trips were not blog-mapped.
BUT: For those of you who just plain want to know where we are right here right now, just find the BIG RED MAP TACK!!!!

Usually there is a plan. A definite plan. But things are a bit up in the air right now, so no telling which way we will head or when.....
