  • Old Mine. Whorehouse. Trains. Flat Tires. Sounds Like Goldfield!

    Once we pick a direction in which to travel, we Google everything from Los Angeles to the destination to find interesting places in which to stop.  This time, our search led us to Goldfield, Arizona. Starving, as we always are, we high-tailed it to the ghost town’s restaurant, Mammoth Steakhouse & Saloon and ate our…

  • Bananas and Other Missed Opportunities

    Plans are few and far between on the road, as are reservations when Jenn and I travel, and traveling solo was no different for me. As I made my way from East to West across the states I pretty much stayed where I wound up by day’s end that had a vacancy and a cheap…

  • Virginia Is For Sliders

    I thought Virginia was for lovers, but since I was traveling solo this trip, and my last relationship was in the rearview along with the rest of the roadkill, I was just passing through, so there was no lovin’ as I drove through the state, heading back to the West coast to join back up…

  • King Me

    On a recent cross country road trip I grew giddy when I discovered I’d be passing through a must see city on my list, Memphis, and was sure to stop to see its local treasure, the hallowed home of Elvis. It was even apropos that my visit to Graceland would fall on Easter weekend to…

  • Tombstone: The Town Too COOL to Die

    Last year, Sara and I went to the Travel and Adventure Show in Long Beach. There were booths with Tourism Bureaus and tour companies. They encourage travel to their cities and countries. Of course, we want(ed) to go everywhere, but that day, Arizona won. We set off a few days later without any agenda. At…

  • Montana: Land of Big Sky… and Little People!

    First off, let me assure you there are plenty of big people (medium too) with big hearts in Montana. In fact we enjoy this state so much Jenn and I made sure to make another visit on this trip.  But what we encountered this time around, instead of ghost towns and the site of an…

  • Being Mostly Good in the Badlands

      We got to the Badlands too late to visit for the day, so we spent the night in Wall, South Dakota.  We checked out the town before we settled in because, apparently, small towns must now fit some criteria for us to actually spend the night. One bar/restaurant was mostly empty and the bartender…

  • Sara Sings the Blues

    On a night out in Montana we wandered into The Pony Bar and wound up being pulled up on stage to perform. Here’s Sara belting out an impromptu blues number on the spot. Click to see: Sara Sings the Blues © 2012 Dart and Map All Rights Reserved – Copyright notice by Blog Copyright  …

  • Baseball Art, Lavender and Animals!

    I read about a baseball exhibit and was very excited. Then saw it was at the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles.  I automatically assumed it was going to be some hippie weird hemp rope odd something not very baseball-like exhibit. THANK GOD! I was wrong!  Not one to pass up trying something…
