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 →
Cousin Joins Us Near Pictured Rocks, Michigan
Travel Day: Sault Ste Marie, Michigan to Munising, Michigan. 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 →
Mackinac Bridge, Mackinac Island, Fish, & Funny (Michigan)
Travel Day to St Ignace, Michigan, in the Upper Peninsula. It was fun to cross over the Mackinac Bridge. This is a 5 mile toll bridge over Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. It is the only road to the Upper Peninsula from the rest of Michigan. It took about 25 minutes to get across because... Continue Reading →

Internet on the road
I still work while we are on this adventure, and need reliable internet. Campground WI-FI ranges from non-existent to very unreliable. When we first started, we were using cellular internet "hotspot" from our phones. This works great - if you have good cell signal. We have been surprised at how poor cell signal is in...

X Marks the Spot if You Have the Wiggles
Howe (our trailer - Home on Wheels) has the wiggles. With proper chocks under the wheels, and the stabilizers down, it still feels wiggly when walking in it. Stabilizers on smaller travel trailers are not levelers. They are designed to stabilize the trailer once it is leveled. Even with Howe leveled and stabilized, you can... Continue Reading →
Car Show! Got to see Matt!
So, a hobby of mine is watching entirely too much YouTube. I watch things that pique my interest. I grew up on a small farm, so I watch The Millennial Farmer. His 10 year old son was driving a tractor and grain cart that was worth more than the entire farm that I grew up... Continue Reading →
