Go, See, Do, Experience!
About 4 hours Travel Day drive today. As we crossed over Columbia River (Pasco, WA,) and into Oregon we remembered this entire road from travels in the past. We saw several large barges and towboats. The landscape changes from dried arid to a few green grass and some trees with great views. And then to... Continue Reading →
We didn’t have plans for today since we had done all there was listed on several places. But on Friday I was looking at the Lewis & Clark app and scrolled in on the map and saw Canoe Camp. We decided to go there today. It is back the way we came, along Hwy 12,... Continue Reading →
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 →
The Williston, North Dakota, city event webpage is one of the best laid out information given that I have ever seen. Among the other things we found, and did, (see last week's post) I saw Sweetcorn & Quilt Festival. Of course “quilt” caught my eye! Turns out this is a youth camp that started in...

Continuing to follow the Lewis & Clark Trail, our Travel Day took us from Riverdale, North Dakota to Williston, North Dakota. I read out loud our new book that we bought after being at Fort Mandan last week. It is Waheenee, an Indian girl’s story told by herself to Gilbert L Wilson back in 1920s.... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader: I have a question for you and would like your feedback in answer. The question is at the end of this blog post. GUESS WHAT: 1/2 way of the Missouri River is Bismarck, ND, at 1170.5 miles. Full length of that river is 2341 miles. We continue to see prairie land, flat land... Continue Reading →
It rained last night. Yesterday, to prepare for Travel Day today, Kevin put away Ambient Weather station and ham radio antenna in the basement of HOWE (footnote 1). So, I said, if Ambient shows rain… it means the basement of HOWE is flooding. He got a good laugh out of that. Thankfully it wasn’t raining... Continue Reading →
We had plenty, with a capital P, of time. (Sometimes I laugh at myself and what I write in this travel journal!) Check in at Lake Manawa State Park campground, Council Bluffs, Iowa, wasn’t until 4:00 p.m. We were here by 1:15 p.m. So we found a place to do our grocery shopping for the... 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 →
We headed to the St Louis, Missouri area. Why? What are our plans through this September? We are following the LEWIS & CLARK TRAIL, the Corps of Discovery! Now, we have been along parts of it before and have even been in Oregon where they met the Pacific Ocean (and we visited the fort and... Continue Reading →
