I woke up Sunday morning with a nervous feeling...today my Mizzou Tigers had a chance to erase bad memories from the tournament a few years ago here in Boise when UCLA beat them on a last second shot and then went on to win the national championship. Their opponent today: Marquette. Although a lowe…

About three weeks worth of Waterfall hunting. From California north through Oregon, Washington, then through Idaho and Monatana and Glacier National Park. Then south through Idaho, and Nevada before coming home.

Although we got up as early as other days we seemed to be slower in getting started today.  We had a pretty good breakfast at the hotel, consisting of scrambled egg patties, bacon, juice, and coffee, and I even went back and got a bowl of cereal with milk.  So we weren’t on the road unt…

Well, I'm all packed and ready to go, we'll see you on the other side.  I had my qualms about only taking carry-on luggage for my 3.5-month adventure, but everything that I needed fits and now we'll see how much better "traveling light" is.  I fly to Salt Lake, then NYC, then finally Lond…

My boss recently told me that I needed to get to all of my sites before the snows, get some site surveys done.  "ok" I said "but I'm gonna need a helo" After talking to the helicopter guys it was decided that today was the best we were gonna see.  It was an absolutley perfect day to fly,…

Go to dinner at a small dinner theatre called Mountain River Ranch (http://www.mountainriverranch.com/map.html) - it is truly a winter wonderland as you are taken on a horse-drawn sleigh ride down a narrow lane through the woods with the sound of Christmas carols sung by your dinner guests (an…

I was so happy to be in snow since in Boise we don’t get snow like the Mountains. The snow here in McCall is ridiculous, there’s so much of it…everywhere. I thought Diesel would enjoy the snow, but I didn’t think he’d go crazy, he bounds back and forth leaping through the snow, he LOVES i…

One of the few things I enjoy about living in Idaho is caving. The area is covered in an ancient lava flow that makes the surface very rough and hot! Below ground is a different world unlike the harsh one above.  It is MUCH cooler and has frozen ice crystals to look at. It can also be very dan…

I used Coeur d'Alene, Idaho as a stopping point for night's rest after a few days in Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks.  I was returning for a morning flight out of Spokane, Washington and thought that this little resort town looked like a more interesting to place to stay than Spokane…

I have spent my life in this tiny but gorgeous town. What can I say, it's beautiful?

I am genuinely grateful I am alive to give you greetings,              This is a somewhat different update, but an update nonetheless.  I almost died on Tuesday May 8 of 2007 due to a rather stupid kayaking adventure, and it…

Hi All, Dave and I wanted to have you share in our trip this year as we travel. As I am new to this I have a feeling that there will be a learning curve. Will try to have some timely updates and photos. WELL, so much for timely updates. LOL We don't seem to be in WI FI world as much as I would like. Hang in there, I will keep adding at least where we have been. Enjoy with us!

Crystal, (Kaona) joined TravBuddy on July 22th and I looked at her profile photo and thought this nice shot could be lightened a little to bring out her face. So I downloaded the photo and changed the lighting, and color balance.  I hope you like it! Welcome to TravBuddy!!!   If this…
