Go, See, Do, Experience!
Charla is on a quilting retreat this week, leaving me unsupervised. Trust me, this will be a shorter post! 😎 She was sweet, and made me food for the week. I ate most of it on Monday. Since she is gone, you get me this week. I am going to talk about HOWE issues we... 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 →
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 →
Sitting outside HOWE (footnote 1) and enjoying the perfect weather in Cottonwood, Arizona, we then decided to go for a drive. We took off and turned down a road to Black Canyon Forest Service Road. Immediately the road was rough with tons of pot holes and washboard as the road went down into the canyon.... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →

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...

If your heart is aching from missing a loved one due to distance, death, or estrangement, we hope you can... Continue Reading →
