    Living the Dream?

    We are living our dream, usually. Where there are dreams, there are nightmares.

    Midday in the Garden of Good & Evil

    Sumptuous and decadent, Charleston and Savannah are so lovely to look at they are like candied pecans set in a cream box with a lavender bow

    Nomads & Pirates in Sedona, AZ

    Sedona is a bit like a perfectly poured, dry martini. It's pretty as a picture, but it's not going to quench your thirst.

    Best of the West

    The question we have been asked the most since our recent tour across America is: what was our favorite place? It’s a tough one.

    End of Trail

    The journey was long, but felt short. After 9 months, 28,000 miles and 28 states, it felt like we had been gone a week.

    We couldn't actually see where Stanley was actually made (closed for Covid), but the gift shop was definitely open for business!

    The Black Canyon

    The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is aptly named. It may be the deepest, narrowest canyon in the world. It’s more crevasse than canyon.

    Where I Make My Stand

    Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the U.S. and one of the deepest in the world. It’s 1,943 feet deep, which is pretty god damn deep.

    Naked & Afraid

    Sometimes after too many miles, the most relaxing and freeing thing you can do is simply remove all of your clothes.
