After spending a couple of great days in Santa Fe, NM, we headed about 70 miles north to the small town of Taos. This was my first time visiting Taos, and before arriving, I really knew nothing about it. What a beautiful and adorable place! The town has a great mixture of art, culture, history …

Nautical dreams

February 22, 2012, by Karen in Blog, Uncategorized

A lot of people fear change. Call me strange, but I thrive on it. When I was young, my mom worried about me because I always got bored with day-to-day life. I always needed something big in the queue. In that sense, I haven’t changed a bit. It’s why I love the mobile lifestyle. We …

I could have stayed in the Page, AZ area for months, but we had to move on so that Ben would have a convenient airport to fly out of. He was teaching at a Kansas photography school outside of Wichita. Now usually I am the one stuck in some remote place while he flies out. …

June 6, 2011, by Karen in Blog, Uncategorized

The Watchman at Zion, with the Virgin River. We’ve been seeing an amazing number of national parks in such a short period of time! That’s probably because the southwest is just loaded with them. Such a beautiful part of the country! After leaving the Moab area, we parked in St. George, which is just 40 …
