“Muskingum County was a hub of river traffic and is famous for the “Y” Bridge which was built at the confluence of the Muskingum and Licking Rivers. The county got its name from the Native American term , Moos-kin-gung meaning “a town on the side of the river.” Some claim the natives called it the “Elk Eye River.”

The Northern Cascades- Guest Blog

My sister is visiting our brother and sent me these photos **Washington Pass Overlook**

“A .5-mile paved loop takes you atop rocky outcroppings that overlook the valley floor far below and give you prime views of the jagged peaks opposite you. It’s one of those dramatic pictuesque scenes you come to love from the North Cascades.”

I’ve been on that winding road and what I remember quite vividly is there are no guard rails but yes, the view is spectacular.

Near Berrydale – Florida Highway 4 Guest Blog

Tuesday I received a Happy New Year email with this note.

You might remember Shuey’s well viewed Barred Owl Post from March 2012

Shuey writes:

“It’s been awhile since I’ve seen something in this category that was worth a U-turn and a stop.

I spotted this one while returning on a rainy day from “The Last Ride of the Year” which I go to every year to see some of my long distance riding friends. I was between rain clouds and the contrasts of light and shadow really caught my eye. Not in the picture, but off to the right, set much further back from the road, was a nice double-wide trailer. I’m guessing this building was the original family homestead now abandoned with a descendent family still living on the property. Whether this old house is kept for the memories or it’s just to expensive to tear down . . . who knows. Definitely worth a stop. I’ll bet this building could tell a story or two if it could talk.”

Google Street view from 2016 shows a building in much better shape

Once upon a time it was “Home Sweet Home”

Searched my archives for my sister’s and my visit to Alaska in 2016. Our 8 hour train ride from Anchorage to Denali. And back! I converted a few of the photos to sepia tones which is new for me. Perhaps I should have read up on how to do it more effectively but I had fun trying. Thanks Cee.

Troll Crossing in Norway One Year Ago

Trollstigen (Troll’s Road) in Norway. If you click the link you can see pictures of the winding Troll’s Road.

One year ago I was on the Arne and Carlos‘ Knitting Cruise going up the coast of Norway on MS Finnmarken. Thanks to Pam from Massachusetts, my knitting colleague and ship roommate for sending this pic today. Yes that was a wonderful trip of a lifetime and there are many great memories.

I was so happy to receive an email today with this photo of myself that Pam took by the Troll Crossing sign. I was able to go and find the one I took of her, too.

Our tour bus was to drive up the winding roads but due to bad weather, the Troll Road was closed. (After looking at the photos of the road I think I am a bit relieved it was closed)

Thanks again for the fun memory, Pam. I’m glad you follow the blog. Hope you like this post!

Pam took this photo of me
