Trail of the Dragon Wagon
Welcome to our travel page where you can learn about our various travels. Last summer we took a tour of France for our 40th wedding anniversary. We joined a Rick Steves tour that took us from Paris down through France to the French Riviera. Then we returned to Paris and took another Rick Steves tour that concentrated on Paris.
I haven't been recording as many trips lately--we went to Phoenix for Winter Range in February 2011, then I went to Argentina for dove hunting in May, then I went to Founders Ranch near Albuquerque where I won the World Championship in my category at End of Trail. But I haven't tried to log those trips--just got a little lazy I guess.
But I plan to record the trip to Winter Range we are making this year (2012) as well as our trip to Italy coming up in April. Stay tuned.
Our last big recorded trip before France was an "Alaska Trek," an extended tour in the summer of 2009 with Adventure Caravans touring for 58 days in Canada and Alaska. We had lots to do on the way up and the way back as well. Our last journey up here was a northwest tour of Washington and southwestern Canada in August 2008 to do some shooting, some sightseeing, and to visit Chateau Lake Louise for our 37th wedding anniversary. We have been taking little trips since then, including a trip to Arizona for Winter Range and a trip to Sonoma and Yosemite. We also got our daughter married off in March. But our last big trip was to Alaska in the summer of 2009.
In May 2008 we went down south-way down south, to Argentina. We extended my trip for dove hunting in Cordoba to enjoy the Perito Moreno Glacier at Argentina's Glacier National Park, Ushusaia and Tierra del Fuego, and the wine country of Mendoza. And, of course, we spent time in Buenos Aires.
Earlier in 2008 we did the Sundance, Sevens, and Shooting 2008 tour, a trip back into the west for skiing and the Sundance Film Festival, a couple of visits to Vegas, a shooting and rally tour of Arizona, and finally a swing down south to Marfa and Alpine Texas near the Big Bend. That went from January 3 until March 13, 2008.
In summer 2007 we completed a 3 month tour of places in the western United States, which is detailed in our Into the West 2007 travel site. We also have a separate page for our next trip--Balloons, Beams and Bullets 2007, which started October 2 and finished November 1. We were in Wimberley (with side trips to Fredericksburg, Texas Las Vegas, and Enid, Oklahoma) until January 3, 2008,then we started the Sundance 2008 tour.
