Hot Springs – John & Armen On The Road

Sands & Springs

We descended the mountains of Lincoln National Forest into the town of Alamogordo, NM to buy food. This was the first time we’d really seen evidence of people scrambling for supplies, and we saw many shelves empty of paper products, bakery & dairy items, and zero eggs. Fortunately for us, we like stuff like organicContinue reading “Sands & Springs”

West Coast Florida, Revisited

It’s rich in geological features, there are many species of living creatures, the morning and evening light is gorgeous. WeContinue reading “Big Bend National Park, Texas”

Since we were chasing cold temperatures, we fantasized about Hot Springs. The amazing thing about smart phones and the www is that these fantasiesContinue reading “Ahhhhh, Hot Springs”
