Oh… My… Gosh! I wanted to cry when I saw the wrinkled up rubber membrane on the roof that we just spent an extra few weeks in CO to get replaced. Unbelievable! The wrinkles went further back this time and blew out in two different places, ripping apart the new 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…
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…
It was in the high 80s / low 90s while we were at the Lake Manawa State Park in Council Bluff, IA for 4 nights. Omaha, NE was only about 20 minutes away, so we spent an evening exploring there, too, not realizing the College World Series was happening. We Read more…

We stayed at William C. Sterling State Park, near a Lake Erie beach, for three nights. It was windy when we arrived, so the lake looked pretty much like an ocean, with waves coming up on shore. The main attraction for us near the state park was doing the Ford Read more…
We stayed four nights at Elkhart Co. / Middlebury KOA Holiday while we visited Elkhart, IN, the RV Capital of the World, and Amish Country. We spent several hours at the RV/MH Hall of Fame, looking at their impressive collection of old RVs. It was fun to see some of Read more…
We stayed at Lake Haven Retreat for four nights. The campground wasn’t anything special and there was construction and congestion between the campground and the interstate, which was kind of a pain, but it served its purpose. We went to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum on our first full day Read more…
