Look who got a selfie stick for Valentine’s and just in time for a hike up Goodnow Mountain. The must-have photographic accessory helped capture these fun shots atop the 60′ former USFS fire tower erected in 1922 and operational until 1979. Over my shoulder is Rich Lake and to the right of that are the […]
In the summer, this abandoned mine is crawling with fearless jumpers hurling themselves off the 90-foot cliffs into the aqua-blue coolness. No matter that the quarry is private property. YouTube videos reveal how popular this swimming hole gets on a hot day. Sans suit, George and I came to hike and enjoy the preserve’s many […]
I just got back from one of the top ski destinations in Colorado – Copper Mountain! I was expected to ski, skate, ride the coaster and take a horse-drawn sleigh ride. This blog should include exclamations like “a ski experience like no other!” “groomers from out of this world!” “a soaring summit that inspires awe!” […]
I’m sure that the one-day street festival took weeks of planning and organizing but what’s with all the trash?

While Mr. Mobil doesn’t have the funds to attend the longstanding North American International Auto Show this week, we still got to visit Detroit last month. Enjoy the posting of my latest read entitled, “Detroit: Fueling up on Car Culture in the Motor City” unveiled on GoNomad.com on the same day that the NAIAS kicked off. […]
Finally! George can stop asking me, “How much further do we have to go?” This year, for Christmas, we got each other a shared Garmin Fēnix 5S GPS for navigation. After a brief learning curve figuring out how to use it we decided to break it in in the Berkshires. Stevens Glen is a 129-acre […]
Last night, we were invited for a holiday gathering on the edge of Woodstock, NY. The peaceful little cabin nestled in the Catskill Mountains is Jennifer’s little slice of heaven. It’s miles from the congestion and chaos of her work days in tribal Manhattan. A simple black stove keeps the boho chic loft cozy and […]
