An Unexpected Journey tells the story of our journey into full-time RVing and the crisis we faced 13 months in. Hundreds of miles away from our home base, except that there was no home. We were all in. We had sold our house and most of our stuff. Now here we are in the Rio … Continue reading An Unexpected Journey Book Release

DINNING the DELLS
During our summer in Wisconsin Dells, we sampled several of the dining establishments there. In this post, I’m going to give my review of them. BAYSIDE BAR AND GRILL – Located in the River Bay Premier Campground, where we spent our summer work camping, this was one of our favorites. Yes, this is partly due … Continue reading DINNING the DELLS
CIRCUS WORLD MUSEUM
In August 1855, August Frederick Rugelsling and his wife, Salome, moved to Baraboo, Wisconsin. Frederick began a harness shop. The couple would have ten children and would later change their name to Ringling. In 1884 five of the Ringling brothers held their first circus in Baraboo. The circus continued growing over the next several years … Continue reading CIRCUS WORLD MUSEUM
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN…
Rest in Peace We were in Bar Harbor, Maine. We had just finished a tour on a lobster boat. I just learned that Chance, our motorhome that we left in Littleton, New Hampshire, has a blown engine. We cannot afford to put the amount of money required into our 1999 motorhome. So what are we … Continue reading WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN…
CATCHING UP
My apologies for such a long absence. There’s been a lot going on, and I’ve been somewhat distracted, but I’m going to try and catch you up with this post. I’ll try and keep it brief. We spent the summer preaching at a little church in Iron Mountain, Michigan. Iron Mountain is in the far … Continue reading CATCHING UP
Connectivity
Staying connected while on the road is essential to me and most others. When we had a home, it was simple. We had blazing fast internet through a local cable company. We could also get our TV channels through them if we preferred. But what do you do when you live in a motor home … Continue reading Connectivity

Florence, Wisconsin
During May, we spent three weeks in Florence, Wisconsin. Traveling along U.S. Highway 2 in Michigan’s Western Upper Peninsula, you enter Wisconsin when you cross the Menomonee River. U.S. 2 continues to run parallel to the river until it eventually crosses the river again back into Michigan. Along the way, you pass through Florence. For … Continue reading Florence, Wisconsin
RVING WITH FRIENDS
Some of our favorite RVing and camping experiences have been with friends. Meeting up with others or even traveling together adds meaning to your RV experience. We enjoy meeting up with others. Just recently we met friends in Northern Kentucky and spent a few days together in General Butler State Park. We have met up … Continue reading RVING WITH FRIENDS
GETTING READY TO GO
We are filled with excitement to be returning to full time RV living. But the doing of it is quite daunting. Mary and our daughter Melissa moved out of our 5th wheel just about one year ago. I was busy trying to die in the hospital. It is surprising how much stuff you can accumulate … Continue reading GETTING READY TO GO
