Go, See, Do, Experience!
Today we headed the opposite direction from yesterday and went to Port Huron, Michigan. I was really excited to see this town. We were careful to watch the signs so we didn’t get in the lane on I-94 that goes to Canada. In fact, we got off the exit before the last one, accidentally. But... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
Tombstone, AZ When researching for what to do I found that Tombstone had Tombstone Days this day, including a parade and lots of extra activities. Kevin looked at YouTube of the parade in past years and saw it wasn’t crowded and so wanted to go to it. Well, that morning was so cold. At 8:00... Continue Reading →
We went to prison! Well, to Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park. It is the most visited place in this area. We got there right as it opened. We paid $10.00 each to get in. The prison was built in 1875. First we saw the Guard Tower. It was built on top of the water... Continue Reading →
We needed fuel for the truck so Kevin asked the guys at the guard shack at Gettysburg Farm Campground where to get diesel. Guy said, “3 lefts and a right” to Rutters. HAHA That is farm-directions, right?! Well, after some turns I saw we were headed east, the wrong direction from where we wanted to... Continue Reading →
We remember where we were, what we were doing, the feelings, the shock, horror, pride of country. It’s a part of history that we know. 9/11/01 Flight 93 National Memorial, in Stoystown, PA. Flight 93 crash site is really hilly. I knew it was an old mine that had been covered up, from reading some... Continue Reading →
We left early in the morning for our 1-1/2 hour drive east to Philadelphia and got there about 8:30 a.m. We saw an underground parking garage under the Independence Visitor Center but it looked like a sharp turn at the bottom. Our truck is a Ram 3500, king cab, with long bed. We kept driving,... Continue Reading →
West Point Military Academy. OH boy, it was crazy that nothing I looked up to do around this entire area listed this place! We knew of it but not where it is located. So glad my Uncle Jim mentioned it when we told him where we are staying. The Great Chain was used across the... Continue Reading →
Kevin learned all about the commuter train and the schedules to Boston and then got the payment app on our iPhones. With the Saturday schedule, the commuter doesn’t go as often and starts at 5:09 a.m. with the next one 7:09 a.m. The train ride is about an hour. That is a big time difference.... Continue Reading →
