Dear Friend,   We hope that you have been enjoying good health in these last few days of 2025.   About a week ago, we returned to the Mojave National Preserve, in the Mojave Desert of California.   There are several great hikes from this campground, and lots of incredible vistas!   The weather in this part of the Mojave has currently been mild compared to many places on the globe. We’ve had wind and rain, but also lots of sunshine and mice. (Our humane-mouse traps, baited wit

Dear Friend,   If you summed up the last seven days in a 6-word sentence, maybe it would be something like:   I needed a lot more tape.   I have never spent this much!   I thought I had more time.   Please, can we get a puppy?   (I hope that you will write your own 6-word summary and share it with us)!   Did you have a lot to do, on top of your regular routine, this week? Holidays or not, this time of year can press and whelm, we hope that you have been taking good care of yo

Dear Friend,   Here we are in the last few weeks of December. There are 18 more days until 2026, 11 more days until Christmas, one more week until Winter, just a few hours until Chanukah begins, and so many other events and celebrations, what is on your calendar?   Just a quick question: Do you have an Advent calendar this year? In case you don’t already know, it’s a calendar that starts on December 1 st and ends on the 25 th  of December, and can be a fun way to travel thro

Dear Friend,   How was your week? Did you have a chance to gander at the full moon on Thursday?  I don’t know for sure if you are an astronaut in training and/or a mystic soothsayer, but either way, perhaps you will agree, the moon is a source of powerful energy. We feel fortunate to have been camped where we could see the moon, rise and set, all week. Frank and his camera have been very busy here at Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Nevada. Located adjacent to t

Dear Friend,   This is the last day of November, 2025. Where are you today? What are you up to? How are you and yours? We hope that (as much as possible) you are where you wish to be, doing what you wish to do, and that everyone is happy and healthy!   Frank and I have been making our way south in Nevada along highway 93 through the Great Basin. It’s turning out to be sort of a reconnaissance journey, a chance to experience snap shots of the area. We’ll definitely return at a

Dear Friend,   We’re writing from Nevada, it’s the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Frank and I will be on our own this year, at least as far as table settings go, but we will be thinking of our loved ones, Friends and family, including you.   We’re grateful for you.   Families come in all sorts of packages. We recently met this group of wild horses, they were together every time we saw them, couldn’t that mean that they’re a family?   Frank and I both love animals. It is a major

Dear Friend,   Happy Birthday! Oh, it’s not today? Well, perhaps you can celebrate anyway, and if you make some happy wishes, may they all come true!   How has your world been the past two weeks? We hope that you and yours have been doing well. (My apologies for missing another couple of postings to you).   We were dog/house sitting and enjoyed our stay with Miss M while her people were on vacation. She’s a Sweetie-Pie English Yellow Labrador Retriever with a great sense of

Dear Friend,   Where has your week taken you? I don’t necessarily mean geographically. Obviously, you’ve come quite far in your lifetime, whether you’ve left your hometown, or not. Would you agree that by adapting to newness, a form of travel has undeniably happened, change has occurred, and sometimes there is ‘no going back?’   When I recall the beginning of last week, it feels like a year ago. A lot has changed for Frank and me but it’s nothing that you’d notice just lookin

Dear Friend,   Thank you for being here to read this week’s Tracks. As I mentioned last week, in this letter we are sharing a small collection of Frank’s 2025 Autumn photos.   In the following paragraphs of this letter, Frank describes what Fall Colors mean to him:   I have been drawn to the changing of the leaves like a moth to a flame. For many years of my life I have seen Autumn as a great reminder of the promise of winter, the celebration of color and light. The threshold
