Well, we are already not making our schedule as our truck sits warm and snug out of the winter weather in the dealer’s garage torn apart. A week ago this started with a clunk from underneath and flashing lights on the dash. We were blessed in that the whole incident unfolded near a home of a fellow church family. Our Good Sam Club RV Roadside … Continue reading Off Like a Herd of Turtles
We failed to meet our goal of being south of the snow line this year! October 27th and in River Falls, Wisconsin, there is measurable snow on the ground and it is getting deeper. The RV is doing well with the mild temperatures in the mid and lower 30’s. Our electric heat works fine most of the time but the LP gas furnace occasionally kicks … Continue reading Failure!
Jason returned to the physical office past week and in just a few weeks we will be headed out again. We have landed into Hoffman Park in River Falls, Wisconsin, for at least until October 15. We hope to be here, if the park doesn’t close early, until November 1 and then make our journey South. We have lots to do yet in the RV … Continue reading Fall Seems to be Coming
September 30, 2017 In Michigan there are about 27 billion trees and it seems like we have seen every single one of them this week! After a while they begin to look the same, even though we purposefully tried to avoid the same route back across the U.P. so we would not see the same trees twice. The cats are really adapting to the travel … Continue reading Are You Sure We Didn’t See That Tree Before?
September 29, 2017 We made our way back west across the U.P. today and ended in Marquette, MI. Stopped along the way to admire the awesome power that the wind has over Lake Superior with the crashing waves along the shore. Waves that at time were at least four to six feet in height as they crashed. Stayed at the Marquette Tourist RV Park ($30/nt, … Continue reading Warm Up with Pasty in Marquette!
September 28, 2017 Since we had a long day at Mackinac Island the day before, we decided to take a short driving day out to the edge of the Upper Peninsula. We visited a great rustic spot about a thousand feet off of the highway, but miles away from it all. This was a great place to view our second of the three great lakes … Continue reading We Can See Canada!
September 27, 2017 Made our way to our favorite island yesterday in the afternoon. The water was really choppy going over with a 10MPH wind, but was far worse returning with a 20MPH head wind. Even some of the “locals” were commenting on the big waves we hit, the Shephler’s Ferryline captain did a great job at minimizing the impacts. After an amazing diner style … Continue reading St. Ignace, MI – Mackinac Island
