Our Story

Welcome to our site! We are Joanne & Steve. After 20+ years working for a city school department and police department, we sold almost everything, bought an RV, and started living on the road with our three children. Joanne homeschooled and worked online. Over the years we worked for Jellystone Parks as well as volunteered. We stopped traveling after 7 years and bought a house. Steve continued police work with the National Park Service and Joanne taught Kindergarten. Now that our three kids are adults, we have decided to travel more and explore.

An Osprey's Dinner

Tucked in at the top of a dying pine, an Osprey couple has dinner.


Mother Osprey sits watching her clutch of eggs high atop a pine tree.

Father Osprey flies in with tonight's dinner...a nice, juicy fish for Mother Osprey.

Daddy drops off the fish to a hungry mommy.

Luckily, Lake New Melones is nearby packed full of fish.

Mom and Dad chat about the day, future plans, the need for a nest repair.

"Thanks for getting dinner babe."

"No problem dear.  Enjoy your meal."

"Woohoo little eggies.  Watch dad dance.

Mommy gets to enjoy a meal in silence.

This looks like a nice spot to pick at fish.

Mmmmm, great fish dinner.
