Go, See, Do, Experience!
It rained last night. Yesterday, to prepare for Travel Day today, Kevin put away Ambient Weather station and ham radio antenna in the basement of HOWE (footnote 1). So, I said, if Ambient shows rain… it means the basement of HOWE is flooding. He got a good laugh out of that. Thankfully it wasn’t raining... Continue Reading →
Seaman Showing Us The Info, Omaha, NE 06/26 Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail in Omaha. We crossed over the Missouri River and went downtown. We got parked and went into the building. The directions said it was Region 3, 4, 5. Well, this place was an art building but the ladies nicely told us... Continue Reading →
We had plenty, with a capital P, of time. (Sometimes I laugh at myself and what I write in this travel journal!) Check in at Lake Manawa State Park campground, Council Bluffs, Iowa, wasn’t until 4:00 p.m. We were here by 1:15 p.m. So we found a place to do our grocery shopping for the... Continue Reading →
We said goodbye to the friends we met at Alliance Rally, Goshen, Indiana, last night. The drive was tough along I-94 and I-80. Bad roads, construction, and really aggressive drivers. Before Joliet, Illinois, we were just sitting long bouts of time. It took over 1 hour and 10 minutes to go less than 10 miles.... Continue Reading →
As we headed to Goshen / Elkhart, Illinois, we stopped at Love’s Truck Stop at Normal, IL for the dump station. It was a bit confusing and we couldn’t see the dump station. Across the road is a Love’s RV campground; we thought maybe the dump was in there. Pulled up to the gate and... Continue Reading →
Travel Day to Illinois to see friends. We meet them back in 2024 when we wintered (Jan-Feb) all around Florida. They are so fun, sweet, and love games. They, along with two other friends, and us would play games most every night in the game room at the campground. Wonderful times and memories. Our friends... Continue Reading →
Kevin had said he wanted to go to the Gateway Arch National Park. I remember it from years ago but we found out it has changed. We headed to downtown St Louis. We saw quite a few parking garages with signs saying that is where parking is for the Arch. However, our truck is long... Continue Reading →
On the way home (footnoted 1) from a 4 hour drive to our sister-in-law’s birthday party, in Missouri, we drove along Hwy 36 over the Mississippi River to the Illinois side and down south along the river. At Hamburg, right along the river, we could see where it flooded the other day when we were... Continue Reading →
We headed to the St Louis, Missouri area. Why? What are our plans through this September? We are following the LEWIS & CLARK TRAIL, the Corps of Discovery! Now, we have been along parts of it before and have even been in Oregon where they met the Pacific Ocean (and we visited the fort and... Continue Reading →
We spent some time one evening fulfilling photo requests for Find A Grave (footnote 1) at Missouri Veterans Cemetery, a National Cemetery, in Springfield, Missouri. On the way up there we saw a sign for Lambert’s Cafe, “Home of the Throwed Rolls.” All the times Kevin has been down here in the Ozarks and visiting... Continue Reading →
