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 […]

L’Anse Aux Meadows National Historic Site – review

April 18, 2019 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Is it worth the drive?  That is the decisive question when contemplating a visit to L’Anse Aux Meadows National Historic Site. At first blush, L’Anse Aux Meadows sounds like the most awesome historical place in North America.  I mean, come on, Vikings!  From one thousand years ago!  Muscular fighting men dressed in furs and metal, […]

Coffee Cove Seaside Retreat Part 2 – What To Do

March 18, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Mention a road trip to Green Bay and your friends will envision cheeseheads, Packers jerseys, and shotgunning Schlitz faster than a spirit-crushing Favre interception.  Understandable.  But in this case, completely wrong.  Let them have a couple more Schlitz and then tell them you were thinking more along the lines of sou’westers, kissing cod fish, and […]

Coffee Cove Seaside Retreat Part 1 – Where To Stay

March 11, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Family can make you do the most unexpected things, in no small part because they themselves do the most unexpected things.  Like moving to Newfoundland.  Nobody does this unless they’re moving back home.  Certainly not born and bred mainlanders, or so the legends (and more often than not, the facts) say.  But I have an […]

Jasper National Park – review & things to do

November 20, 2017 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I sometimes wonder if born and raised Western Canadians truly understand the uniqueness of their situation with regards to the national parks system.  This is especially true of Albertans and British Columbians living on the door step of the glorious mountain parks known throughout the world.  Having grown up in Southern Ontario, national parks were […]

Pizza Night in Rowley, Alberta – review

August 2, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Sams Saloon on Pizza Night

If there’s one thing I’d pinpoint as the worst part of being a stay-at-home parent it has to be the fact that long weekends quickly lose their exceptionality.  Not only do they become meaningless with regard to my daily life, but they all too regularly become completely forgotten.  Such was the case this past August […]
