I live in Virginia and was going to recommend a small booklet I found of short trails in the Shanandoah but the NPS link above has all that information. One hiking trail that would be very...

We did a very short visit there as part of our Denali land package of our cruise. We were able to walk down to the river and see Denali then visited the Rangers station where the orientation is done...

Just to clarify one small part, as I’ve driven this area a lot, it’s actually I-70 to I-75 S for a brief time in Dayton to get to US 35. And US 35 is all four lane across Ohio, some places to...

Hope this PSA is allowed. For those who have to endure I-95 around DC it is claimed this may bring a little relief for the southbound at Fredericksburg just south of DC. Personally I think it just...

Dollar Tree just announced they would start selling some items at more than a dollar. So much for that. But….if in rural areas, looking for a Dollar General is probably good advice. They are popping...

I think flying in and out of Vegas will be the way to go and don’t worry, I don’t go near ANY slots, anywhere! Once I’ve conferred with family, to see if they want us to come, then I can pull out...

Thanks. How longs a piece of string? I like that. I’m thinking this would be around two weeks or so. I’m leaning away from LAX because my family lives up in the Pasadena area. I’ve usually try to fly...

Hello wonderful knowledgable travelers. You’ve helped out before so I want to pick collective brains again. I want to do a western trip next year, mid May 2021 time frame. I really want to see the...

But don’t UHaul rentals charge mileage? I know they can be relatively inexpensive but the mileage adds up big time. Our son was in the DC Metro area in business/family time and found the cheapest...

Yes, Budget/Avis was the one with a $200+ fee tacked on at the very end. When I chose not to go with them I also wanted to delete my credit card and drivers license numbers from the profile I had to...

So true. We are flying from DC to Denver early September and I just booked a rental car. It cost 50% MORE than two round trip tickets, and that was with AAA discount. Do check for discounts but be...

I highly suggest you order a Florida SunPass online, https://www.sunpass.com for the tolls in Florida. Many of the toll roads do not accept Ezpass that is used up the east coast. It’s only about...

I can only speak for the DC end of it but if the historical aspects aren’t your thing then you may want to check out Great Falls, either the Virginia or the Maryland side of the Potomac River. Very...

If you going from DC then you may already know this. In Virginia, anything about 80 mph is considered RECKLESS driving. The counties, and the lawyers in these counties, along I-81 and I-95 make...

EZ Pass is a good suggestion however it can add up quickly in Virginia as it is a variable toll. However given the days of travel it may not be worth using as the other lanes may not be too bad, plus...

To add to AZBuck about 95 being heavily patrolled in the Carolinas, add Virginia to that especially around Emporia. Be aware - anything over 80 mph in Virginia is RECKLESS driving. The attorneys...

You forgot the squirrel found with bubonic plaque out in Colorado earlier in July. I so agree with you about 2020. I feel for you. I retired from the public schools years ago and am SO glad I’m not...

Three day should allow you to get into the DC metro area mid day which you want to do especially with a uHaul truck. While many are still working from home the traffic and rush hour is not for the...

When are you going again? I think you said first week of August so you may be okay as the Sturgis Rally starts August 7 and the place will be booked and busy around Rapid City. First time I looked...

The pictures of Truman’s home remind me of visiting Eisenhour’s home in Kansas, both of which remind me a lot of my childhood home, complete with out buildings, chicken coop and outhouse, in Indiana.

I use to travel a lot between DC area and Indiana and absolutely second taking I-79 down to I-68 to I-70. The drive through western Maryland and the mountains is so much nicer, and free, compared to...

My son and family are in Parker,CO and he’s been very pleased with how Colorado has handled this. My DIL is a nurse in a local hospital and while she did a little bit of rotation on a Covid floor...

If you are going through South Dakota on I-90 and have any interest in the Cold War the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site is just off the interstate by The Badlands. It can be a short visit at...

The new thing you can do now is afterwards, turn the trip into a book for them to look at no matter what their age. Years ago our five yo granddaughter stayed with us for the summer and I made that...

Thank you. I’m pretty sure he’s in the North Territory, most likely Alice Springs since he’s a contractor and went over for his company. I know there’s a bunch of “stuff” there from the US. They did...
