France Canal trip, day 3

A short day today, May 1st, which is a national holiday in France and believe me, everything shuts down.  It's also our 7th wedding anniversary!  So come along from Pontailler-sur-Saône to Lamarche-sur-Saône for the night.

France canal trip, Day 2.

We start our second full day on the canals of France after an incredibly quiet 1st night sleeping moored to the edge of the canal in the middle of farm country.  Today we will travel about 60 kilometers and end our day in Pontailler-sur-Saône.

France canal boat adventure, Day 1

Come along on our journey down the canals of France!  The first day of our adventure couldn't have been better.  We had glorious weather and all of our apprehensions about piloting a canal houseboat were quickly laid to rest.  Click on images for full-screen and if you cursor over the image, you'll see descriptions.  I will apologize in advance for having way too many images.

Back for another visit!

Devany backed out of the garage this morning, saw movement in her rear-view mirror, and saw this little female Lynx laying on the snowbank in front of the house!  She moved into the trees and shade but just sat there for awhile letting me take pictures before she finally headed off looking for snowshoe hares.  What a treat.  Click for full-screen high-res.

Spring in Seward.

We took our first motorhome trip of the year to Seward this weekend.  It's always fun while it's still a little town--before the hoards of tourists descend on it for the summer and turn the waterfront campgrounds into cheek-to-jowl parking lots.  No thanks.   But for right now, it's the perfect place to sit on the shore of Resurrection Bay and watch the clouds and shadows and light play on the mountains across the way.  You can always click on photos to see them full-screen.
