Seventy-five years ago Angus Bowmer, who taught drama at the Southern Oregon Normal School in Ashland, noticed that the ruins of the old chautauqua building in town resembled an Elizabethan theater. It was 1935, the midst of the Great Depression, but undaunted he approached the City Council to ask if he could present a Shakespeare Festival as part of the Fourth of July celebration.

Think of Southern California and you just might conjure up images of Disneyland, smog (my mom claims it is only haze), sandy beaches and crowded freeways. Think of an island paradise and Hawaii or the Bahamas may come to mind. But Southern California has its own island paradise just across the horizon—Santa Catalina Island.

Heading to Southern California to enjoy the sunshine? Already visited Disneyland, the San Francisco Bay area and all the other famous (and crowded) attractions? Looking for something new, exciting and adventurous? Then head out to the Mecca Hills east of Palm Springs and get ready to explore Painted Canyon and Ladder Canyon. There is no admission charge and crowds are not a problem. The area is one of the few remaining undiscovered gems in California.

Wickenburg, known as the “Dude Ranch Capital of Arizona,” was listed last year among True West Magazine’s Top Ten True Western Towns. Western hospitality definitely sets the tone for this historic place along the Hassayampa River. Guided trail rides and chuck wagon cookouts are the norm at any of the many dude ranches; jeep and ATV adventures abound, and visitors can also enjoy the less dusty pursuits of the Historic District, the Desert Caballeros Western Museum and the Del Webb Center for the Performing Arts.

RVers are increasingly combining their love of travel with a love of nature. Accordingly, binoculars and bird guides have become standard equipment for many. Since my wife and I are both avid birders and full-time RVers, and often plan our trips around birding locations, I thought I would share one of our special places for birding.

Although many people are familiar with the urban charms and attractions of Vancouver in British Columbia, if you go farther north, just across Burrard Inlet, you will find a surprising treasure of outdoor adventures.

(Tony Hillerman, who died in 2008, was the author of 29 books, including 17 mysteries that feature two Navajo police officers tracking down criminals in the Four Corners region. Writer Melanie Martin traveled in an RV to see the locations that Hillerman brilliantly describes in his novels.)

The words “Chaco Canyon” have always conjured up visions of mystery and grandness for me, and television documentaries whetted my appetite to know more. Recently my husband and I decided to stop wondering and imagining Chaco, and instead make a visit.

As we pulled into the pristine campground at Bridgeport State Park in north central Washington, we felt our bodies relax. Lovely green camping sites awaited us with cooling breezes from Rufus Woods Lake. It was a warm day and the shade from trees offered welcome relief.
