The hot tub that arrived in the middle of my Two-Week 50th Birthday Ramble is now set up and filled on the deck by Bob (1980 Bluebird Wanderlodge).

A little stop at the visitors center, then we were off in the direction of La Mina Falls which I [...]

Entertained by local “folkloric” performance in the baggage claim area. See pictures. Rental car from Dollar Rent-A-Car, and [...]
