Roads Scholar Rick is my travel blog and photo gallery that chronicles my travels during the colder months in PA. Since retiring from academia, I am pursuing my passions for traveling, camping, and photography. You can share some the exciting places I have visited and experiences I have had in recent years on this site as I hit the road and travel across North America and international destinations. See the What’s News page for updates.
