For a decade we dreamed and planned for the time that we could buy our RV. We did just that in June of 2007. Our plan was to take two to three years to travel by motorcoach throughout the United States and Canada. We began in October of 2007 with our travels along Route 66. We have now logged in over 50,000 miles and have finished visiting all of the 48 contiguous States in America. This blog is incomplete and I hope to fill in the gaps soon. It's been a wonderful journey.

The Hunt
Our guide Carl is a lifelong naturalist from British Columbia who had a wealth of experience he shared with us the 20 hours we had together.He has worked as a fire jumper, a scuba diving instructor and guide, he was with the Fish and Game Department working with bears, led safari’s in Africa for three years and, more recently, enjoyed time working on the wolf project.He has a close relationship with the large number of park rangers and volunteers who were in the park daily.These people called or radioed him when there was animal behavior to observe and we would load up and head to our destination.Once there, Carl would set up three powerful field scopes for the nine of us to share in addition to the high quality binoculars given to each of us in the beginning.We observed bison, bear, wolf packs, elk, prawn horn, ground squirrels, prairie dogs, badgers, marmut, moose, coyote, and many more animals as well as birds of all kinds. Amazing!
