Poor, neglected blog

We’d just like to issue a formal apology to our blog and its readers for our shameful neglect over the past few weeks. We spent the end of May and the beginning of June on the East Coast catching up with family and friends, and it’s taken us about a month to get these last [...]

Uh… Everything Else?

After poking around Utah, we pointed Precision Auto east and started the long haul back to New England. Yes, we made some stops and did some things, but we were cracked out, driving most of the time, and not really taking pictures. Loveland and Cincinnatti deserve recognition but won’t be getting [...]

The Way to Zion

We’ve been doing a lot of hiking. And while we don’t want to bore you with our exercise, we’re pretty hardcore about it so we thought we’d share some of this epic trek with you. We were at Zion National Monument in southern Utah. Just remember that no matter how hard [...]

Mexican Food

Oops – I meant to post this with the other Mexican stuff, but I forgot. This was our breakfast on our first day in Banamichi, Mexico. It was a roadside shack called “Pollos Nittos” that served us up some tasty hamburguesas and fried chicken. Que delicioso!

How Grand!

There’s this place in Arizona that most people don’t visit because it’s tucked away and off the beaten path. It’s called the Grand Canyon, and even though it doesn’t get very much press, it’s a really cool place and I highly recommend visiting it if you’re looking for something new and unusual to do in [...]

Navajo Skatepark

Tuba City is officially one of the all-time-greatest place names. And although it’s not full of big-cheeked brass players, it does have a brand new skatepark. Deep within the Navajo Nation of northeastern Arizona, Tuba City is pretty short on pavement, so when this was built it was instantly swarmed by the Hopi and Navajo [...]

Sedona: Arizona’s New Age Playground

On our way from Tucson to the Grand Canyon, Christopher and I spent a couple of days cleansing our auras and getting in touch with our inner children in Sedona, the New Age capital of the world. Under the whimsical and fancy-free watch of the Earth God Kokopelli, Sedona is home to a number of [...]

Two Weeks in Tombstone

…well not really Tombstone, but we were nearby.
Out in Southern Arizona we had the luck to spend an extended period in the desert on a family ranch. You don’t really need to hear about it, but we spent a couple weeks lazing around, riding mules, and helping to build stuff. Very low key. We mention [...]

Heladito

That’s right, “little ice”.

The Heladito was one of my favorite details from our trip to Mexico. I have no idea if this is a nation-wide phenomenon, but in Sonora you do your beer shopping at small roadside outlets – they’re essentially bars you’re not meant to hang out in and they all sport a ubiquitous [...]

Mexican Adventure

While in Arizona we unloaded the car and took a little side trip to the Sonora Mountains in Northwestern Mexico. Just a couple words of explanation/apology. First of all, sorry if the video doesn’t make any sense, we weren’t really on top of the narrative flow this time out. You’ll just have to deal. Second, [...]
