Great adventures on a bootlace.

Webcams from our favorite destinations!

Yosemite National Park a new destination for us in December of 2009.  We flew from Detroit, Michigan to Sacramento, California then took Amtrak down the San Joaquin Valley to Merced.  From Merced we had a leisurely bus ride on YARTS to the Yosemite Lodge at the Falls where we spent four days.  On our second day we received over a foot of new snow!

Glacier National Park has been our number one travel destination.  Living in Ohio makes this a major trip and yet we have driven out and back on $350.00 in gasoline.

Grand Teton National Park was a quick two day stop for us on our way to Philipsburg, Montana to wash gravel in order to find sapphires.

Yellowstone National Park was another two day stop also on our way to Philipsburg.  We were very much the tourists while here and did a whirlwind tour.  We need to go back.

Virgin Islands National Park made our year in 2008.  A late April excursion cured us of the winter blues that still had a foothold on us.  We had such a good stay that we are going back this year.

Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore was another weekend getaway for us.  It's an easy drive for us from Ohio and the South Shore Line train stops there on its run from South Bend Indiana to Chicago, Illinois.  There is even a dog friendly beach there!
