Read moreAn ‘Ear Coning’ Demonstration
A few weeks ago I had been wind surfing in Vancouver, B.C. and got some water in my ear...a day later I began to experience an ear ache. My body does a pretty good job of healing itself, so I just left it alone for a few days. As a...
Read moreDAY SIX of my Salmon River rafting trip
Day Six Rafting the Salmon River For not having a “reserved” camp spot, we did a pretty good job of finding a neat area to spend the night. The spot we found was a bit of an alcove with a nice flat spot on about a 10' incline. The perched...
Read moreWhile in McCall, hunt no further than The Hunt Lodge
I recently visited McCall, Idaho for the first time and certainly hope it will not be my last…what a great little town. The area is so scenic—from Payette Lake, rafting rivers to nearby ski slopes…there is a lot to see and do, not to mention some great restaurants and shopping....
Read moreThe Fat Duck Inn is Walla Wonderful
The Fat Duck Inn located in Walla Walla, Washington is a charming and stately bed and breakfast. As you approach the craftsman style B&B for the first time, you might be deceived by its seemingly diminutive stature, but once you enter the “Duck,” as it’s often affectionately referred to by...
Read moreBullwinkle found swimming down the Salmon River
During my week-long whitewater rafting trip down the Salmon River, I captured a moose swimming downstream. This footage was pure luck—it was early morning and only a few folks were even up. I was shooting some intro videos when out of the corner of my eye, I saw something odd...
Read moreGateway Canyons Resort…The Entrance to Xanadu
One of the things I strive to do on Mike’s Road Trip is to find those cliché “off-the-beaten-path” places…the ones that give you so much satisfaction in the discovery. I get great joy in bringing exposure to well-deserving destinations that exceed my expectations and will assuredly interest my readers. Discovering...
Read moreArmor Lid Follow-up Review
If you’re a follower of Mike’s Road Trip, you know that I often feature applicable “road trip” and outdoor related products. About a year ago I reviewed the Armor Lid Tonneau Cover—since it’s been so essential to my travels, I thought I’d do a follow up. In addition to keeping...
Read moreDeep Cove: A Recreational Paradise
On a beautiful summer day, there’s hardly a better place to be than Deep Cove in North Vancouver, B.C. You can hang out at the Mount Seymour Provincial Park and have a picnic, or perhaps rent a canoe, kayak or paddle board. For the more adventurous type, you can hook...
Read moreGrey Cliffs Ranch: A Cornucopia of Activities and Luxury
The State of Montana is a capacious place where the wild still roam, the rivers flow unabated, and the hills roll into the horizon. Montana is one of the last places where you can experience nature as it was intended. I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Grey...
Read moreAirline Baggage Fees Solution
If you're like me, you're sick and tired of how the airline industry continues to come up with ways to nickle-and-dime us. To me, the worst, or perhaps the most unfair, are the fees on baggage. The idea of traveling without baggage is of course not possible. I'm not suggesting...
Read moreEl Farolito Bed and Breakfast, a true Santa Fe experience
The El Farolito is conveniently located in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico and is within walking distance of many of the area’s attractions. You’re just minutes from the historic Central Plaza in one direction, in another…the newly developed Railyard, which has become a community focal point. Both areas...

Read moreA trip on the “Canada Line” and a lesson in observation
I was in the Vancouver area for a travel bloggers convention (TBEX) and was staying just south of town at a friend’s place in Richmond. I decided the easiest way to get to/from the convention center each day would be to take the SkyTrain, the “Canada Line” to be specific....
Read moreVee Bar Guest Ranch, a True Cowboy Experience
Over the decades our society has moved farther and farther away from our roots with the land, both literally and figuratively. The majority of our population is what you would call “city dwellers, “or, “city slickers” as our friends on the farms would say. It’s nice to know that there...
