A few hours north of Salt Lake City and on the north east shore of the Great Salt Lake is the Spiral Jetty.  I visited here as a recommendation from a friend and it didn’t disappoint. What a magical place.  I felt as if I were on a different planet.

I spent about a week in Salt Lake City with an old work friend.  We hadn’t seen each other since he left Boston a few years ago and it was really great catching up.  Although most of my week was inside his condo working, I did get out and do some exploring. My friend, Lyle, […]

I really enjoyed my stay in Fort Collins but it was time to move on to my next destination.  I was heading to stay with an old friend just outside of Salt Lake City, in Draper, UT.  It was a full day of travel with plenty of exploration. Although Cheyenne wasn’t on my original itinerary, […]

After leaving the Denver area, heading to Salt Lake City, UT, I stopped for a day and an evening in Fort Collins, CO.  Fort Collins is about an hour north of Denver and was a good place for me to break up my drive.  There was so much going on in Fort Collins which made […]

I spent about five days in the Denver area. I stayed with an old friend from high school.  I hadn’t spent more than a few hours with him since high school so it was really wonderful catching up!  Most of my time there was spent at his house working although I did get out and […]

I had the weekend to get from Omaha, NE (G on the map) to Denver, CO (B).  While planning the trip, I decided I’d stop in Kearney, NE (A) for the night.  Lake Hastings Park, one of the top disc golf courses in Nebraska, was near there and just off the route (I).  Kearney (pronounced […]

Mid way through 2015, I started allowing Google to track me.  I have my privacy settings in such a way that each time I attend somewhere new, Google puts a red dot on a map.  This is my map as of mid November 2021. One of the features of these red dots is that I […]

I headed out early from Omaha (G on he map) and although it was not on my original itinerary, I decided Lincoln, NE (H) would be a good place to stop for my morning coffee.  It was on the route heading west, is the capital of the state and would be a good break after […]

I went to see the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. The Nebraska side of the bridge is located at the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Visitor Center.  Across much of my trip, I came across locations related to Lewis and Clark over and over.  They were everywhere out there!  Unfortunately, much of the walking area of […]

Pretty cool that I find myself in Omaha, Nebraska! I grabbed some coffee at a neighborhood coffee shop and spent my morning working from my AirBnB. I had a recommendation from my brother to eat a Runza while here.  The original Runza location is no longer around so I went to the closest one I […]
