Go, See, Do, Experience!
Torpedos Stored Between Beds! Sub Cobia, Manitowoc, WI 09/23 Wisconsin Maritime Museum, Manitowoc, Wisconsin. After the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japanese on December 7, 1941, it became very important for submarines to be constructed since Pacific Fleet had been so decimated. Over 250 vessels were built along northeastern Wisconsin when US entered WW2. Manitowoc... Continue Reading →
What a great surprise welcome! As we pulled into Seagull Marina & Campground in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, our cousins were waiting for us. They had signs, balloons, flowers, and huge smiles on their face! For over a year we had this stop planned so we could see them. They surprised us by being at the... Continue Reading →
Mississippi River Lock & Dam #1 in Minneapolis, MN. What a delight to see. Kevin and I have always been fascinated by Lock & Dam and just the thought… "Who thought of this?” And then to make it happen is pretty incredible to us. Every time I see one, I just can’t get over the... Continue Reading →
Canada Fire Smoke & Storm Clouds, Eagan, MN 08/23 Someone Forgot To Put The Rack Down, Bumpy Road, Minneapolis, MN 08/23 This is what happens when someone forgets to lay down the toilet paper stand before a travel day. They say, whoever “they” are, that any type of RV going down the freeway is like... Continue Reading →
The day was glorious weather: sunny, not hot, and not windy. Thankful! We said goodbye to Black Hills, South Dakota, as we probably won’t see many hills like that for quite a while. 🙂 The Great Plains stretched out in front of us. At one point, it looks like a man-made hill for the water... Continue Reading →
Crazy Horse Memorial, Black Hills, SD 08/23 Crazy Horse Memorial! 🙂 We didn’t know what to expect. At the entrance gate we paid the entrance fee. We thought it was a little costly to see a mountain but we had no idea all there would be to see and do. We followed the road up... Continue Reading →
Sunset Through 2 trees, Black Hills National Forest, Black Hills, SD 08/23 Kevin said, “Let’s find Nemo!” While looking at a map at the state visitor center he saw there is a little town in the Black Hills, South Dakota, named Nemo. So off we went. The drive, oh wow, was so pretty. Rapid City,... Continue Reading →
Our home base house is just that….a place we can go to IF or WHEN we need to get off the road for a bit. Our current plans are to only be there a few weeks a year. This way we can get yearly doctor appointments done and things like that. What is a home... Continue Reading →
3 travel days, 1213 miles. Where were we headed? South! (Keep reading for why.) We didn’t want to worry about waking up too early so we set the alarm for 6:30am. Pulled out of Seaside Campground in Oregon just before 7:30am. I filled the cooler, without ice, with snacks of crackers, Tillamook cheese curds, licorice,... Continue Reading →
We went to Astoria Column in Astoria, Oregon. It turned out to be even better than Kevin thought it would be. It is high on a hill overlooking all directions. The column has 160 steps (I counted them) on a circular staircase. It was fun to see a ship go under the Astoria bridge. Ship... Continue Reading →
