Life gets busy sometimes, even in the slow lane. We took time off from posting at 3mph.org recently and still haven’t gotten in tune with the old schedule. We’re okay with it, and it might take longer to get back into the rhythm. There might not be one next week, but we have a 2

The first time I journeyed between Colorado and Texas was in 1980, and for forty-four years I’ve continued to travel back and forth between my two favorite places. I don’t know how many times we’ve driven or flown between here and there, but it’s a big number. Even a couple times a year over that

Fall is only a few weeks away; the sun is rapidly heading South, exacerbating the extreme daily temperature variation we experience on the High Plains. It was in the forties this morning when I took off for a quick 25-mile ride out to the Smoky Hill Trail Marker, and by the time I returned to

We’re sticking with the category from last month – old hotels for $200, Alex. The Mayo Hotel in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma is approaching her hundredth birthday after a recent restoration, so as a gift, we have included an extra image. Never Stop Exploring!

We love turn-of-the-century architecture and period hotels are a great way to connect with the vibe. Here are two images from the Plaza Hotel, on the Plaza in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The Plaza is 142 years old and some areas smell a bit musty, but that’s part of the charm, it reminds me of
