Go, See, Do, Experience!
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 →

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 →
William J Clinton Presidential Library and Museum is in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas, and it was built there to help the economy in that area. Parking is free and tickets are $12.00 each. Like other similar places, lots of docents around to greet, inform, and direct. When told about the video, we asked if it... Continue Reading →
We got to my uncle and aunt’s house around 9:30 a.m. for another day of adventure. They drove us in their car to downtown Dallas to The 6th Floor Museum. I had been here with my family when I was young. It is the Texas School Book Depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald shot President John... Continue Reading →
Travel Day to Phoenix, Arizona. I packed up Chicken Cream Cheese Taquitos that I made yesterday so we could have them for our lunch today. I asked Kevin if he wanted to change things up and pull over for lunch on Travel Days or to do what we do and eat on the drive. He... Continue Reading →
