We are still in the Detroit area visiting with family. No decision on when we are moving on. Hopefully tomorrow Al will change the brakes and rotors on the pick-up. He has been able to change the oil, install the new steering strut and we washed the 5th wheel. I am also waiting for my …
We made our way to the lower peninsula of Michigan yesterday into Traverse City and camped out at Wal-Mart for the night. Hey, don’t judge me…it is cheap. We followed Hwy 31, known as the Gold Coast Hwy that runs from Mackinac City to New Buffalo. It is a very scenic drive as much of …
One of the things I missed when we lived in Las Vegas, was having four seasons. There is something about autumn that holds a place in my heart. The crisp air, the bountiful harvest available and the pictures fall paints never fails to amaze me. When we decided to set out on this journey, we …
Our morning started with the pitter patter of rain drops as we were waking from our slumber. And it didn’t stop! It rained long and hard and didn’t let up until late in the afternoon. Many of our neighbors bugged out and when it was all said and done, the RV park looked like a …

Surrounded by Green Bay (the actual bay) and Lake Michigan, the peninsula is a haven for agriculture. There are farm markets with fresh produce available. And what …
I started to come down with a cold a couple of days ago. With a compromised immune system, this is something I do not ever need to deal with. Luckily, my white blood cell count has come up a little bit since coming off of the last medication I had been taking. Hopefully, that is …
Heading down the road, listening to a little John Cougar Mellencamp, we are surrounded by the Heartland. The countryside is dotted with silos, farm houses and old barns. Most of these farms have been here for decades, operated by families passed from one generation to the next. Flowing seas of corn as far as the …
When we have the chance, we take it to see Mother Nature at her finest. The Wisconsin Dells is one of those places. A beautiful area where the cliffs were carved by the river that flows through this region. Today, we took a river cruise of the Upper Dells. Where once the river ran dangerous …
