Concertina wire draws my gaze away from the lenticular clouds shifting from flying saucers into mother ships in the western Oklahoma sky. We’ve been driving northwest from Woodward on Highway 270 looking for Fort Supply, and we should be there by now.

Gallery: Aventura en Baja
We had three perfect days in Baja California with Tiberio and Suzanna Esparza a few weeks ago. Four-wheeling in “side by sides” through the mountains and deserts of Baja, including a trip through the Parque Nacional Constitution de 1857, we had a rough and tumble time and ended our first day at the famous Mike’sContinue reading “Gallery: Aventura en Baja”

View of the Wichitas
I had a nice view of the Wichitas from the front porch of Krehbielhaus when I visited earlier this week. This location is a lovely two-bedroom house and a wonderful getaway spot on the northwestern edge of the Wichita Mountains in southwestern Oklahoma. It’s owned and has been meticulously restored by our friends Chris andContinue reading “View of the Wichitas”
Iceland!
Iceland — “An under-populated island marooned near the top of the globe, Iceland is, literally, a country in the making. It’s a vast volcanic laboratory where mighty forces shape the earth: geysers gush, mudpots gloop, ice-covered volcanoes rumble and glaciers grind great pathways through the mountains. Its supercharged splendour seems designed to remind visitors ofContinue reading “Iceland!”
