Memories and Snapshots
The Journey is full of memories – events, experiences, people, the list is endless. We often memorialize these memories with a snapshot. Snapshots cause memories to come flooding back as if it was yesterday.
Our return to Colorado Springs has brought back many memories. One of the special ones is of my dog Chibby being carried up The Incline and then running the 4 miles back down. He...
Today was almost like going home day. We visited Rocky Mountain National Park. My wife and I met in Colorado and Meg chose to go to school here as well, so it allowed us to visit, revisit, and create new favorite places and friends.
Meg was able to spend the day with a number of old friends (who are now teachers!) at her alma...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
The quote is attributed to many – pursued by many – and a lot of what The Journey is about.
The day started rested and refreshed – thank you David and Cheryl – the mattress, hot shower, conversation, and hospitality were GREATLY APPRECIATED. And, the t-shirts made our North Dakota and...
Red sky’s at night – Diver’s Delight!
What 12K mile road trip would be complete without a few dives!
While getting fitted for a Madiera wreck dive in Lake Superior, we heard the rumble of thunder. The storm location and hour drive north of Duluth, MN provided a beautiful day and dive. Vis a bit low due to recent rains, but, extremely enjoyable and we were also able to make some new inquisitive friends –...
The night provided a bit of adventure, the morning was comprised of a beautiful walk (Rick) / run (Meg) around Brandywine Falls, and the day was full of asphalt.
Adventure: As we were settled in for a good night’s sleep, a bright light alerted us that something was amiss. Park Rangers directed us to park in an RV lot across from the park entrance (Cuyahoga Valley National Park is nestled into a somewhat...

To complete The National Parks Journey, we must stay on plan:

Captain Megumi (Meg) Voight is setting the pace – fill the gas tank at Costco and we’ll be at Mammoth Caves National Park by 9:00 – done.
The park was established as a national park on July 1, 1941. It became a World Heritage Site on October 27, 1981,...
Our memories make us who we are.
Our memories are the stories of us. They’re the bridge to our past that links us to our grandparents, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren, and friends. Like treasured heirlooms, our memories teach us that the bonds of family and friendship need to be cherished above all else. Sharing those memories enriches our lifeby bringing us closer to our loved ones.
Those photographs lying in a shoebox are...

In out last post, we covered some terminology and tips on taking photos in water. In this article, we'll cover camera settings.
Using Preset Shooting Modes Underwater
Mode Settings create a combination of adjustments that are pre-designed for specific conditions. Some of the cameras we used had underwater mode settings. If the camera you select has these, the are well worth experimenting with and using. Of course, there...
