A Few of the National Parks
We drove some more, and then we stopped at some of the National Parks.
Route 66. The Road for Milkshakes in a Diner.
We find the road again. Driving never ends, but at least there is something below our feet that feels like solid ground.
The Road Goes Ever On…
These three states felt like an eternity. Pushing our car along the deepened tarmac, on towards the National Parks.
Panic. Mexico.

Decisions and Borders
Quite simply, a ramble of thoughts and uncertainty. I am Jack's risk averse state of mind.
The Deep South
We camped beside the Gulf of Mexico. An evening walk in the hot sun, to the hotter sand, to look upon the oil rigs lining the horizon.
Driving Southwards
The hills and mountains are so beautiful. Tall trees, long and winding roads take us through small towns. New supermarket chains appear as we change states.
Leaving the Ones You Love
This afternoon we are leaving Greensboro. Six weeks of time with family, and friends.
Revisiting the Ghosts of the Past
It has almost been a year since I stopped writing. The ghosts of previous articles started to haunt me. The sounds of an untold tales, wanting to be told, were gathering their voices.

Mis-adventures. Car break downs. Crawling along the Interstate.
Travel, and Rumours of Travel
“They both sound dangerous.” How to balance danger and travel with children.
Border Crossing into the United States
We crossed the border, from Canada into the USA. It wasn’t easy. While we had thought completing a visa waiver would have made it easier, It didn’t.
A Snapshot in Time
That snapshot, those memories, forever etched into our family's history. That time we spent a winter on Wolfe Island.
Empty, Trudging and Unthinking
It feels like so much work that at the top of the hill I stop to catch my breath. I am not turning back. I need this walk. Step and sink. Step and sink.
Up, Up and Away
We go up to Banff. The tents go up. We go up to Lake Louise. We go up to the hot springs. We go up Sulfur Mountain.
Driving, Vomit and Lies
Driving isn’t fun with vomit and lies. We have ventured into the mountains with difficulty. Hopefully we can get to Banff with less problems.
