Lunar Crater National Natural Landmark

Lunar Crater National Natural Landmark

We were heading towards Ely, Nevada (pronounced ee-lee), but I’d previously noticed a tiny red dot indicating a point of interest on the Nevada map – Lunar Crater. It was about 84 miles from Tonopah, a halfway point to Ely. We thought it might be worth checking out… because, why not?

The Sidewinder on Route 66

The Sidewinder on Route 66

One sign in particular that we saw in Oatman piqued our interest: The Sidewinder. It’s an 8-mile section of old Route 66 with an incredible 191 curves and no guardrails to speak of.

Just a Little Further

Hi there and welcome to Just A Little Further!

We are David and Marcie Lynn and we've lived aboard our Liberty 458 cutter-rigged sailboat since 2000.

What began as an urge to travel slowly and economically at our own pace ended up an adventure of a lifetime.  

Well, here we are ... nearly 90,000 miles under the keel, 5 continents, 5 Great Southern Capes, 36 countries and almost two decades later, still taking one passage at a time and going just a little further.
