July 6, 2022 For a midwestern state, Michigan sure has some of the nicest sand I’ve eve seen.  And we saw a LOT of it today.  And now there is a LOT of it in my camper. Like most days, today started off slowly.  Rob and I were up and at ‘em by 7:00.  IContinue reading “Sand and Water”

June 5, 2022 Some mornings it’s really hard to leave the cocoon of the camper.  It’s toasty and cozy and you can sip your coffee in your pajamas at the dining table and look outside at the gray, damp and your poor neighbors who are tent camping and probably soaked to the bone, and beContinue reading “Cherries and Cheer!”

July 4, 2022 Happy Independence Day, America! We celebrated American independence by sleeping in, eating a delicious camp breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast, fresh fruit, and the most glorious cup of coffee my Keurig mini could provide.  Admittedly, we were running on empty from two long days of travel and the most exciting day ofContinue reading “Catch Up, Change Plans, Be Happy”

Sunday, July 3, 2022 I have been very proud of myself when it comes to driving Kevin, especially when we tow the Jeep.  My first time driving solo (everyone else asleep) was on I-80 starting in a Scranton Walmart parking lot.  However, given the length of our vehicle, you would most certainly understand that thereContinue reading “Angels Above Us”

Saturday, July 2, 2022 What kind of travelers are you? Traveler A: We have a definite departure time and plan to eat a good meal before we leave so we do not need to make many unscheduled stops. We plan out scheduled stops and know what times are more “high-volume” than others near popular destinations.Continue reading “Oh, Canada! Oh, Canada.”

Thursday, June 30, 2022 Hello friends and fellow travel enthusiasts! Well, the long wait is over and camping season is once again upon us! We disappointingly did not camp until Father’s Day weekend. Why? The reasons are threefold: There is exactly ONE Ford dealership within 50+ miles of us that could address our factory recallContinue reading “You’re Going Where? Huh.”

No one likes going home after vacation. Our little foray into the Black Hills left us wanting more time to travel and to see more of South Dakota. We all agreed that we need to come back and spend some time in the Badlands. It just wasn’t meant to be on this trip, but itContinue reading “The Long Journey Home”

It’s been such a pleasant experience camping at the different Kampgrounds of America (KOAs) across the midwest.  I have to admit that I am a bit of a campground snob. I like a maintained and clean. We had not stayed in a KOA prior to this trip, but they are reliable, numerous, and have aContinue reading “Black Hills or Bust!”

Today’s adventures began in the sleepy little town of DuBois, Wyoming, population 960.  It’s located right outside the Wind River Indian Reservation between the Absaroka and Wind Mountain ranges . Fun fact: the original residents of the town wanted to name the town “Never Sweat”, but the post office rejected the name.  In response, theContinue reading “Walt Longmire, is that you???”

As easy as it was to take the toad into Yellowstone, it was just as hard taking Kevin. Poor Kevin is awkward, big, and just plain clumsy. We packed her up, wished Rob’s sister and her family goodbye and made our way back through the park on our way to DuBois, Wyoming. Route 89 runsContinue reading “Yellowstone: Part 2 (plus a bonus National Park!)”
