The Erie Canal (great bike path!)

Fort Niagara (in US)

Fort Niagara (in US)  British Crest showing years occupied 

Times Square - New York City. Quite a small space when you compare some European Capitals (Paris, Athens, Istanbul come to mind.)

Inside the Ellis Island Museum - a fascinating history lesson on how 22 Million immigrants (particularly from Eastern Europe) were screened before being allowed to land in the United States between 1892 and 1924.

The New York Police Department guarding Ground Zero - elevated view platform and multiple cameras!

We found the Liberty Park Marina and RV Park in New Jersey which was in sight of the Statue of Liberty and a ten minute ferry ride to Manhattan Island.

Niagara on the Lake - where we saw the play "French without tears" Terrence Rattigan

Niagara falls from the Canadian shore

We were in Amish Country

"Lucy's Lair" in a National Forest Camp site. Note the slider that extends out and the bike storage on the back.

Out for a hike at  National Forest Camp site

At Cody we watched a gun fight put on for visitors every evening at 6pm

This is a spectacular museum in Cody, Wyoming - well worth a half day visit.

An exhibit at the Buffalo Bill Historic Center 

Spectacular colors at Yellowstone National Park were we camped for three nights and could have stayed longer

The Beehive Geyser in Yellowstone National Park - it lets off about once a day so we were lucky to see it.

"Old Faithful" which lets off about every ninety minutes and which all visitors to Yellowstone National Park usually see.

We saw many Bison in Yellowstone National Park

There were three herds of Elk and when we were there one dominant male had charged with its antlers a couple of cars on the road.

A spectacular view of Victoria Harbor that we viewed from the Coho ferry after we had been on the road for 59 days and covered 12,500 KM

We named our Class C Motorhome "Lucy's Lair" after a friend suggested it. Lucy the Daschund was part of the reason we decided that we would like to travel by RV.  It is very comfortable and has a slider that comes out on the driver's side. This increases the space inside considerably. 

Here is Lucy, Penny's constant companion!

The Rogers Pass is a superb example of the wonders of British Columbia

Another view of the Rogers Pass showing the bike on the back of the RV!
