This state park was pretty remote, so we just hung out at the campground for a couple of days. We had to drive down a bumpy dirt road to get to our section of the campground which accommodated the larger rigs. The lake was nice enough, but there was a Read more…
It took longer than expected at the RV Shop (about 3 hours!) because we noticed the new refrigerator was really wobbly when the slide out was in; so they had to try to brace it better. It was starting to get dark when we arrived and by the time we Read more…
We dropped our RV off at the shop to get a few things worked on while back in Monument, where we could bum a room from our good friends Jason & Emily Schott. We scheduled a few weeks in the Monument / Colorado Springs area, to give us time to Read more…
The weather was awesome when we arrived at the North Sterling State Park, and we enjoyed sitting outside near the lake. Unfortunately, we must have missed a place on the roof where sealant needed patching, because Randy noticed ripples in the rubber membrane, where air must have gotten under it Read more…

Walnut Woods State Park had a very small, but quiet and peaceful, campground and a trail to the Raccoon River. We only stayed there two nights and spent a day in downtown Des Moines. If I’d realized how close the Bridges of Madison County were, we would’ve probably done that, Read more…
Not much to say about this stay at Lundeens Landing for three nights. Randy made the comment that it looked like the place old RVs go, since there are a lot of campgrounds that restrict to no more than 10 years old. It looked like a lot of people lived Read more…
We stayed about an hour outside of Chicago, in Zion at the Adeline Jay Geo-Karis Illinois Beach State Park. There were plenty of nice campsites here, but most were too short for us. The area that was intended for big rigs was basically just a parking lot with electrical hookups. Read more…
We stayed at Brown County Reforestation Camp for three nights, near Green Bay, WI. We went into Green Bay one day and ran some errands. Randy got his hair cut while I went to UPS, Walgreens and grabbed a smoothie from Q Tea while I waited for Randy to pick Read more…
