This Spring as we were preparing for this trip we treated ourselves to an inflatable kayak. We have spent many a happy hour out on the water in or hardsided kayaks but they are impractical on long distance trips. Today we got to try it out on Lake Lawrence. John...
After a wonderful morning lingering over a yummy breakfast that included some of Mary's eggs and Toby's black raspberry jam we hugged Nancy & Toby and pointed Eric & Gypsy Girl in the direction of John & Karen's cabin and cottage on the lake. We arrived a...
As we were winding down our Olbrich visit Nancy asked us to decide which wonderful Madison eatery we wanted to visit for lunch. We chose The Chocolaterian then she made arrangements for more friends to meet us there. We three and Jim & May spent a most salubrious...
One of the cool opportunities in Madison is the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. We're here during their annual butterfly event and we have our own personal tour guide. Nancy is on the staff and walked us through the conservatory and gardens as well as a behind the scenes...
Once upon a time two and a half years ago we met a gaggle of dancers from Madison WI in the cruise terminal in Tampa as we were preparing to embark on the Norwegian Star for the annual Savoy at Sea swing dance cruise. We all had a fabulous week together and repeated...
We arrived at Karen & John's in Madison WI just in time to join Karen & Melissa for a trip downtown for a Concert on the Square. The area around the state capitol is crowded with folks in lawn chairs and on picnic blankets awaiting the evening's entertainment...
We were tickled by this sign painted on a barn roof. We'd like to congratulate Darlene on her 70th Birthday but also her honey who climbed up on the roof to paint this message for this birthday but also the one ten years earlier!
Nice overnight! It's a beautiful campsite in a great state park. We need to explore it further! Southeast Minnesota is beautiful this time of year. So glad that we've finally made it to this state and can add the sticker to our map!
We started the morning poking around Luverne MN looking for geocaches. Before long we'd logged our 100th Find, at a library no less! Luverne! Friendly people! Parked the truck and trailer alongside the road, got out to search for a cache and a concerned resident asked...
Another of the two hundred parks listed in National Geographic's book of best state parks presented itself to us this evening. Blue Mound just north of Luverne MN practically jumped out into the middle of the road and insisted we stop for the night. It's a beautiful...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

James K Polk video This morning we spotted an interesting brown sign informing us that the President James K. Polk State Historic Site in Pineville, North Carolina was nearby. We made a quick decision to reroute, found parking for our rig, and headed inside to learn...
After one last errand, picking up a delivery at The UPS Store in Franklin, we hit the road and made our way to the Charlotte/Fort Mill KOA in Fort Mill, South Carolina. It's close enough that Bill & Dove could join us for a meal at the nearby Blacow Burgers.
This is definitely a hidden gem. Downtown RV Park is a private RV park located on the edge of downtown Franklin, North Carolina, only about ten sites. After getting ourselves organized and out of the house we headed here for a two night stay. It was a fun time getting...
