Single-handedly solving nothing

Two Nights in Grand Teton National Park

July 20, 2023 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Conventional wisdom says you need to be controversial to get noticed on social media. So, here’s my stab at it. Grand Teton National Park is overrated. I don’t know. Maybe it was unfair sandwiching it between Yellowstone and Glacier? That’s some hefty competition, after all. Like standing me between Brad Pitt and Chris Helmsworth and […]

Three Nights in Glacier National Park

July 17, 2023 by acrockofschmidt 4 Comments

You know a trip is too long when your kid critiques Glacier National Park with a disinterested shrug, stating, “It’s just like more Banff.” First, how that could ever be construed as a negative is beyond me. And second, it’s actually “just like more Waterton”. Sheesh. That is where we stood as we set up […]

Grant Village Campground – Yellowstone National Park – review

January 17, 2023 by acrockofschmidt 6 Comments

It’s oddly comforting to learn that naivety can still strike on the backside of middle age. Case in point, this here review of Grant Village Campground in Yellowstone National Park.

Grand Canyon Caverns – Everything to Know

April 30, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I used to love driving.  The longer the drive, the better.  The first time I drove out west, I made the 3700 km trek from St. Jacobs, Ontario to Chateau Lake Louise (Alberta) in two and a half days.  By myself.  Without cruise control.  The muscles in my accelerator foot hurt like hell by the […]

My Life Is A Song #106

September 7, 2018 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

If you’ve followed this series, you know country music is my guilty pleasure.  And by country music I mean classic country, not the twangy pop rock that passes for country music nowadays.  The good, old stuff, mostly from the seventies, with a bit of early eighties and late sixties tossed in for flavour.  It’s the […]

White People Are Embarrassing

October 17, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 3 Comments

As the American political spectacle unceasingly assaults our senses (hardly the best sales pitch for global proliferation of democracy) two suspected truths have been unquestionably confirmed.  One, the United States of America is the only nation on this planet whose national elections are followed with such intensity and self-interest by the rest of the world.  […]
