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

This category talks about the places weve gone and the things we have seen and done
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
Northern Kentucky
In the last week of April 2022, we spent five nights at General Butler State Park near Carrollton, Kentucky. We had driven by dozens of times along I-71 between Cincinnati and Louisville and wondered many times about the park but never stopped. This time we stopped and stayed a while. General Butler State Park Is … Continue reading Northern Kentucky
TEXAS HILL COUNTRY
Upon leaving Louisiana we made our journey into Texas. We were heading to Bandera, TX where we would stay for a week. On our way we boondocked overnight at a Home Depot in Waco. There was all kinds of road construction going on all over Waco. We had hoped to visit Magnolia Farms but by … Continue reading TEXAS HILL COUNTRY
ALONG THE WAY – THE END OF THE ROAD
Original MonumentLaw Enforcement MonumentLeft BehindThe End of the Road The end of the road was May 23, 1934. It had begun about two years earlier. What it was, was the end of what perhaps was the most infamous crime sprees in American history. Along the way cars were stolen, banks and stores were robbed, and … Continue reading ALONG THE WAY – THE END OF THE ROAD
ALONG THE WAY – THE GREAT MISSISSIPPI TEA COMPANY
As we travel the roads of this nation, we discover things and places we just weren’t expecting. The Great American Tea Company was one of those places. While panning our route from Biloxi, Mississippi to Homer, Louisiana I discovered a Harvest Host location which was a real surprise. I just wasn’t expecting a tea plantation … Continue reading ALONG THE WAY – THE GREAT MISSISSIPPI TEA COMPANY
THE GREAT LAKES STATE
After leaving the Dakotas we traveled back to Michigan for the first time since we began full timing ten months earlier. We returned to be with family, enjoy the company of friends, see our doctors, and travel the northlands of Michigan. We spent two nights on our journey from Bismarck, ND. Upon arriving we did … Continue reading THE GREAT LAKES STATE
NORTH DAKOTA
We traveled north out of South Dakota into North Dakota. This would be our first visit to North Dakota. The first town we came to was Bowman. As we continued north out of Bowman our Tire Pressure Measurement System (TPMS) alarm went off. I am so glad we had purchased the TPMS. Because of it … Continue reading NORTH DAKOTA
SOUTH DAKOTA
We chose South Dakota as our place of residency for purely practical reasons. It is only a little over four hours away from our youngest daughter. So, if we need to take care of any business we can do so while visiting her family without a major trek. Secondly it is affordable, no income tax … Continue reading SOUTH DAKOTA
THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON
We scheduled a week-long stop in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on our journey from LA to South-west Minnesota. We were hoping to spend a little time in the Smokey Mountains National Park. It wasn’t to be. Not a single road into the park was open. Like so many other things the Covid-19 virus had caused a … Continue reading THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON
