On This Day
Along the Glenn Highway, Alaska - OTD 2018
Arizona has some interesting place names, and the town of Show Low in the White Mountains has one of the best naming stories around. OTD in 2020.
The especially little part of the Little Colorado River. OTD in 2020
I visited an unexpected memorial OTD in 2008—that you’d expect in Washington DC, not along the Indiana/Illinois border.
OTD in 2019, we landed a bush plane in between 3 active wildfires in the remote Coal Creek area of Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve in eastern Alaska. I really need to blog about this whole episode—one of my fav adventure stories—but a smoky photo of the Yukon River will have to do for today.
Bumpass Hell, a hydrothermal area in Lassen Volcanic National Park, might just have the very best place name in the national parks system. Here’s a short video from our last visit, OTD in 2022.
A few shots of Denali, “The Great One,” from our visit OTD six years ago. We were very fortunate to have clear views nearly the entire day.
We visited the Tule Lake Segregation Center OTD in 2022, one of the WWII Japanese Internment Camps. A few weeks ago while camping near Flagstaff, we visited the remains of Camp Leupp on the Navajo Res, which was a temporary holding camp for Manzanar “riot” internees being transferred to Tule Lake.
In-flight entertainment.

A few shots from our boat tour in Aialik Bay in Kenai Fjords National Park, OTD in 2018.
OTD in 2018, I hiked to Exit Glacier, my first experience with a glacier. It’s iconic for the signs showing the previous extent of the glacier in various years, clearly demonstrating how quickly the ice has receded.
I was finally able to mark Stonehenge off my list #OnThisDay seven years ago when I passed thru suburban Utah.
