    Pond Hill farm Center of St. Joseph, MI carousel museum Beach off town of St. Joseph Lake Michigan Toes in Lk Michigan Mackinac Bridge Visiting Michigan Let me start by saying that we both found western and northern Michigan just beautiful.

  • SPIDERS!

    SPIDERS  ( No pictures) I know what you are thinking. It is camping and of course there are spiders and bugs galore.  As much as I agree, there are there are normal bugs and then there are these.   When picking this one quaint, remote yet convenient Sandusky OH campground, we thought a woodsy, treelined site…

  • Is it really a winery tour?

    Along our journey, we have visited so many wineries and vineyards that we began to wonder if this should have been our theme all along.  Seems we have found that states we have never thought about as being wine producing regions, are. Whites, reds, rose…. dry, sweet, dark, lush, semi-sweet…we have seen them all. From…

  • Ohhh Noooo

    There is always something! In this case, it was all my fault and I admit to being in a hurry and not paying attention.

These stops along the journey really help us stay in touch with the everyday and give us time to catch up. We celebrated Joe Avella on his latest big birthday in a gathering with the group of our…

  • Did someone say Lobster?

    Cadillac Mountain If you are discussing lobster, then you must be talking about Maine.  The farthest northeast state bordering Canada.  It is a very lush state covered in trees. Along the rocky coast lines, you will encounter some magnificent views and harbor towns.   And of course you must watch out for moose crossings along the…

  • Nature along the way.

    Nature Day Just sharing some of the beautiful nature shots we have taken along the way.  Always remember to stop and smell the roses.

  • Visiting with friends Ray and Karen, New Hampshire Many moons ago during our very first camping trip with our first camper (Grand Design- Imagine travel trailer) we set our sites on attending the owners rally in Elkhart, IN.  We only had limited knowledge at that time of what traveling across the states was even about,…
