Our entire 2025 year full-time RV traveling route was planned around this one event! Kevin thought it sounded like fun and I agreed. Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds in Goshen, Indiana. Why are we here? For the 6th annual Alliance Rally! Alliance is the brand that built our 5th wheel. The rally is held here at... Continue Reading →
Air Force Museum & Wright Brothers, OH
I had planned for Kevin to be at Hamvention (ham radio convention, see post from last week) today as well but he got all he wanted done yesterday. So today we went to Dayton, Ohio, to National Museum of the United States Air Force. The drive was through the fields and we see some corn... Continue Reading →
Finding Relatives, Not Sick, & Hamvention, Ohio
I think maybe Thousand Trails Wilmington in Wilmington, Ohio, is our favorite Thousand Trails campground we have been in. They have pushed back the trees so there is a lot of open wild grassy areas. After getting set up, Kevin just wanted to go to Walmart to get more cold medicine. Sad he doesn’t feel... Continue Reading →
Lincoln’s Birthplace, Quilting, And The Bank, KY/TN
We decided to stop at Abraham Lincoln’s Birthplace National Historic Park. It is near Hodgenville, Kentucky. This place never came up in my exploring search but we saw the signs along the freeway. I took no pictures outside because it was raining heavily. We didn’t walk around outside but we did go inside and see... Continue Reading →
Fort Knox, Louisville Slugger, & Area, KY
We went to Fort Knox, Kentucky. The reason for coming to this state and area is because Kevin wanted to come to where his dad had basic training and other training. His dad was drafted into Korean War. In high school Kevin and his parents drove through here going to Tennessee. When we saw the... Continue Reading →
Just A Rambling Week :)

Buffalo, Trains, Humps, Cemeteries, & Semi’s
We left Santa Fe, New Mexico, and went to Limon, Colorado, for this Travel Day. We stayed at a Harvest Hosts; this one is a buffalo ranch! This place is great! We learned the words bison and buffalo are interchangeable. The ranch was started in 1999 as a hobby farm with 29 bison. Then their... Continue Reading →
Snow! And, What I Am Doing With Find A Grave, NM
Snow! We woke up to several inches of snow! This was April in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Kevin thought the snow wouldn’t stick but it sure did. The temps got down to the low 20s in the night. We realized this is the first snow HOWE (footnote 1) has ever been in! And, we have... Continue Reading →
Manhattan Project & Funny Reservations, New Mexico
This was a shorter Travel Day of just about 170 miles or so, from Deming, NM, to Socorro, NM. Passing Truth or Consequences reminded us of Autio (footnote 1) telling us about the game show and how the town changed the name from Hot Springs to Truth or Consequences for the TV game show. It...

What To Do Around Deming, NM? Plenty!
Travel Day to Deming, New Mexico It is scary to think about the signs along the freeway (and highways, it turns out) about the blowing dust in this area. There are several signs in order and they tell you to not stop in the driving lane, turn off lights, feet off the brake, stay buckled... Continue Reading →
