Pambling Roads Heads to Beautiful Vermont
A quick stop in Vermont where we stayed at the Best Western in Waterbury. The hotel was comfortable and very relaxing. The employees all seemed quite happy at their respective jobs. The pool was great and their hot tub was even better, helping to relax and unwind our sore muscles.
They had a restaurant on site and we couldn't have been more pleased. Good food, good service, and a server with a smile. Later that ev -

Wendover Will welcomes you and the Bonneville Salt Flats
This is well known in the racing world where they have races on the salt flats. For as far as we could see it was white salt sparkling in the sun. Wow, it is something we will probably never see again. It amazes me that the earth has places like this. The Bonneville Salt Flats is part of the Great Salt Lake Desert.

Blog post... ... Pambling Roads ~~ South Dakota
Pambling Roads, Meeting the Americans brings us to South Dakota. Excitement has slowly been building for us. South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana are the settings used in my Wilderness Series. The time travel historical fiction tells the story of a young doctor who finds herself in the middle of Sioux country. I’ve dreamed of the area, felt as if I was standing on the very soil that Sitting Bull, Gall, and Crazy Horse tread. Seeing everythin -

Travels Through Beautiful North Dakota
Badlands Dinosaur Museum is a dinosaur museum at the Dickinson Museum Center in Dickinson
On our way to Dickinson, we stopped in Jamestown, also known as Buffalo City because it has the largest Buffalo sculpture. We also had the privilege of seeing a white buffalo grazing in the valley. The Frontier Village has its town set up like a real frontier town. There is no fee, however, it survives on do -
Blog post... ... Welcome to
NY and Niagara Falls
So much to see and so much to do!
We stayed in Niagara Falls, NY for a handful of days at the Rodeway Inn. It's about 5 miles from the falls. It was perfect. The wind must have been blowing in the right direction because I could hear the falls for a while that first night.

Blog post... ... Pambling Roads ~~ New Hampshire
Our stay in New Hampshire was pleasant, rainy, but pleasant. My poor husband still hadn't seen any moose. We had been extremely exhausted and hadn't reached our target destination. Our first night was a Mount Whittier Motel in Ossipee. It was a great stay, wonderful employees, and an absolutely beautiful area.

Nevada
West Wendover, Nevada was a “rest” stop. We drove through Nevada and stopped in Wendover, Utah which is right on the border. I stood on the border with my left foot in Utah and my right foot in Nevada. However, it was quite interesting. I think the only reason why the town exists if because of gambling. That’s okay, all towns need a reason to thrive.

Wow!!!! Over two million acres of breathtaking beauty. Besides a multitude of forest, you can see canyons, geysers, mountains, cliffs, caldrons, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and a multitude of wildlife! We saw so many birds, hawks, eagles, antelope, deer, buffalo, elk, and moose. The buffalo were posing near the edge of the road.

Eastern Oregon
Our stay at the Hermiston Best Western was a bit different than most. Everything was fine except one slight issue. The first morning we were there the fire alarm kept going on and off. I slight wobble that was out of their control. They apologized profusely. We understood, although there were some guests who were not as patient with the problem.
The first night, we ate at the Denny’s. The dinner was good, abo -
Blog postSt.Louis Arch
We have been quite a few places in the last few months and we continue to explore.
We zig zagged through the state. One of the things we noticed was how badly the drought was affecting the local community.
The scenery was breathtaking, we can’t even imagine how gorgeous it would have been if everything hadn’t been so dry.

Blog postMichigan here we come!!
From South Bend, we decided to drive into Michigan along the lake’s coastline. We went to Warren Dunes State Park. There was a $9 entry fee for non-residents and even though we were only going to be there for about an hour we decided that seeing Lake Michigan was something we didn’t want to miss. The park was located north of New Buffalo and south of Benton Harbor.
Before we even saw the water, we saw majestic dunes, the largest sand dunes we hav -

Pambling Roads, Meeting the Americans continues. Our travels bring us to Yellowstone National Park and Old Faithful! We met people from all over the world and from all over North America. There wasn’t one moment when we weren’t rubbernecking to see everything we possibly could. I call Yellowstone the Animal Kingdom of the West.
We stayed in Idaho and drove to the park from there.
