On our Travel Day to Garryowen, Montana, I read out loud to Kevin the book I am reading, “The Summer of 1876” by Chris Wimmer. Excellent book! The cool thing is, right where I was in the book it is talking about the details of the battle at Little Bighorn. Kevin said “WE ARE DRIVING... Continue Reading →
Devils Tower, Wyoming, & South Dakota
Travel Day from North Dakota to Sundance, Wyoming. The drive was nice and mostly along a state highway. We started seeing some mini mountains. The fields are grass, not farmed, and we did see some cows grazing. We passed a sign for the turn off to the center of the country. The center of the... Continue Reading →
Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Part 2
Kevin and I, along with our friends Richard & Bridget, went sunset-chasing, again, in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. This time we had plenty of time and enjoyed watching from our camp chairs. (See last post for how we barely caught a sunset.) Chateau De Mores State Historic Site, Medora, ND, is just a few miles... Continue Reading →
Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND, Part 1
We crossed the Continental Divide and we were shocked! What? We thought that ran through WY and CO. This was in North Dakota. Hum, must learn more and I did. This one is the Laurentian Divide, although the sign just said Continental Divide. Landscape Changing to Rolling Hills, New Salem, ND 08/25 Continuing on our... Continue Reading →
Around Fargo, North Dakota
We started the day at Fargo-Moorhead Visitor Center, in Fargo, North Dakota. The outside looks like a 3 story grain elevator but inside it is open from the first floor to the ceiling. There isn't any history or films but you can get a lot of information brochures about the area. You can buy postcards,... Continue Reading →
Our 49th State Visited! And, Another National Park
The scenery is the same as we have seen all around the past few states. Lots of trees, occasionally a view past trees that have been removed, no farming at all on our way to Ray, Minnesota. Ray is unincorporated and we see a church and the Boondocks Bar and Grill. Nothing else around. We... Continue Reading →

As we came to Munising, we said there are probably more tourist here than people who live here. 😃 In the town we saw advertising for pasties and also whitefish. We had some good views of the bay and Grand Island. It is funny, we are... Continue Reading →

July 4th Week (Michigan)
Today we headed the opposite direction from yesterday and went to Port Huron, Michigan. I was really excited to see this town. We were careful to watch the signs so we didn’t get in the lane on I-94 that goes to Canada. In fact, we got off the exit before the last one, accidentally. But... Continue Reading →
