Exploring Coronado National Forest, hiking sky islands, visiting military museums, and savoring local flavors in Bisbee. An adventure worth every step!
Explore historic Patagonia and Sonoita, AZ ranches, the scenic beauty of Coronado National Forest, and an unexpected challenge from a dirt road on my Ultimate American Quest.
Rolling back into a forest with larger trees was emotionally soothing and allowed me to check off National Treasure #48 on my quest list, with #49 and an interesting museum close by.
Bennington, VT, was so much more than I expected. From the sixth largest monument in the United States to Early churches to the Bennington Museum and even CHOCOLATE!
With all that I've been learning about taconite and iron mining over the last few weeks, I decided to visit one more historic site connected with iron ore mining around Lake Superior.
To say I enjoyed myself with my friends Lynn and Erik would be a monstrous understatement; leaving was difficult, but I had a lighthouse and waterfalls to visit on Lake Superior.
One of the fantastic things I was introduced to while visiting Lynn and Erik was canoeing in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. And we saw pictographs by the water!
I was so happy to move from a roadside pullout to a gorgeous National Forest Campground with a private beach after having a blast at a grocery store opening in a nearby town.
After a long day driving from the Cheyenne National Grasslands, running errands in Fargo, ND, and almost getting stuck in the forest, I camped on the side of the highway.
Needing someplace for one night between the Sand Wash BLM land and the City of Rocks, I elected to spend a night in the forest, happy that the forest roads were finally melting.
I was very excited to get out of Nevada and roll into California. It had been too long since I'd seen pine trees and felt the forest, so I headed down a forest road and found a campsite.
