Bob Cranwell shares wonderful travel memories of camping in the Norwegian backcountry, in the shadow of a great glacier!

Bob Cranwell recounts a visit to Awash National Park in Ethiopia.

Spirit still plans to charge a fee for everything, down to a cup of soda, but hopes to win points by getting there on time, and by smiling more.

Samantha and her husband Gene saw some interesting art work while checking out the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.

That's quite an adventure, Bob! The experience reminds me of a visit to Alaska.

A lot of similarities travel luver - I was there too for 3 months - some pics on my website but yet to write up successes, failures and farragos! Because of the Gulf Stream the Arctic circle is much milder in Norway than AK, until you climb inland ! Catch yer later !

Does it enjoy an all year warm climate ? Is it a thriving city ? Is it one of those cities where retired folk go and live in peace ?

Palm Springs has lots of retired residents and especially winter residents. it really is a thriving resort city. It has become a year round city, but does get very hot from May through September. The rest of the year is warm. They say it gets 350 days of sun a year.

I do wish the US had more stops for photo opportunities and Picnic Spots like the UK and in Europe. And all those covered bridges too. I have enough pictures in my mind to write a book. Just wish I could draw from memory.

A beautiful 1961 two door convertible—a Pontiac Catalina—once owned by Bob Seger is a prized possession of an Amarillo Texas car collection.
