We headed west again to work on our property. This year we installed the well pump, cut in the driveway, installed the driveway culvert and dug out the hole for the cabin's foundation and poured the footers for the cabin so we can start building next spring.

Once again, we headed west.  This year to get a septic system installed and a well drilled on our lot.  We did some traveling around the area and spoke with many people who are building in the park this year.  Hopefully next year, we'll start building our cabin!

Once again, we headed west.  This year to work on clearing our lot of deadwood and debris in preparation of installing utilities on the lot so we can build a cabin in the near future.

We headed west again.  This time we had a goal in mind - find a dream destination to camp and build on.  See Our Colorado Property link on the left menu to see our future cabin site. We also did some sight seeing along the way so follow the Colorado 2006 link to the left to see what we did. 

This was a lovely trip that took us through Maine, where we stopped to visit a friend and enjoy fresh caught lobster from a pier restaurant before heading into Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and then beautiful Prince Edward Island.  Watching the tides at the Bay of Fundy near Alma, New Brunswick was a highlight. Until we prepare our photos and journal for this trip, a Picasa album has been posted.

In June of 2002, we took a 105 day trip from Delaware to Louisiana to be with our youngest daughter when she had her first child, then continued across the USA to Washington state and up into Canada. After 3 weeks in Canada, we entered Alaska and spent 5 weeks traveling around that great state. The trip home came down the Cassiar Highway with a stop in Hyder, Alaska. We traveled through the Canadian Rockies, across the northern USA then back into Canada one last time to visit Niagara Falls before heading for home. Follow this link to see some of the photos as we post them.

We have also created a CD that has a series of 5 power shows with 661 photos plus an additional 600+ photos for a total of over 1300 of the photos from that trip. To read more, click here. A few of the 1300 photos we took can be viewed in this Picasa album.
