Carol B.
Thanks for your interest in ChapterEighty.
My initial postings are about Driving to Belize.
Next, I had to return to the United States, thus my posts are about driving back but heading to Florida instead of Colorado.
This newer addition(s) are written from my quieter spot set in beautiful woods -often called old Florida-because this is how Florida looked before greed and development started happening. Now it is a special treasure to find such places left.
Except, once I drove back into western Colorado, I knew I was home. Snow capped mountains and cold, fast moving streams free of alligators plus less people, cooler weather, and topography!
For more information, feel free to get in touch and I will get back to you soon!
