So, once we became aware that ONE IKEA had what we needed in stock, we RUSHED (well, as fast as RV WHERE YET can “rush”) to pick up what we needed. With cabinets now in hand (or on bus), we headed for temporary parking at Liz’s sister’s spot. Next step: Figure out with Bob White,
The Great Circle
After completion of our Fridge Install in Shipshewanna, and in person (tho still safely distant) cocktails in Southwest Michigan, we decided to head back to Chicago – by way of Northern Michigan, the “UP” and then down the west side of the Lake. We figured we could EASILY waste a month on that journey. Before
Moving North…
Our travel is ALWAYS an adventure, so it should come as no surprise that our path northwards included some. It seems the governor had extended Michigan’s “Stay at home” order, and no amount of assurance that we WERE staying at home (in RV WHERE YET) was going to let us camp at Weko Beach Campground
Moving on…
We departed Naples, FINALLY. With a couple things in mind…getting the hell out of Naples being the first. Don’t misunderstand…nothing wrong with Naples. In fact, over the last 10 days or so of our stay, the beach near us had opened, so we could avail ourselves of one of the major attractions of the area:
(Finally!) No more days in Paradise…
Our time in Naples Florida is drawing to a close, as we are gradually deciding to re-engage with the world. Our “plan” at the moment is to leave our spot here on Monday 18 May, and we have a variety of stops semi-scheduled. More on that below, but first some discussion of how the past
FORCE OF NATURE (and National Treasure)
While stuck in Florida, watching the chaotic, partisan and ridiculously inconsistent response nationwide, there has been a little bit of drama in our family around the Pandemic. This has occupied more than a little of our attention and emotions, and I thought I would share this with you. Not because anyone NEEDS more about the
Public Health and Private Fun!
After leaving the Space Coast, Our intention was to criss-cross Florida to visit a variety of friends and former-clients… This STARTED well…We moved to Kississississime [sic] as a central spot where we could see former work colleagues Blair and Fidel Davidson AND… fellow travel-ers and Dance Club Friends Jack and Carole Harriff. Both were staying
Down to Earth and out to Space!
We left Vidalia with the goal to reach St. Augustine in 2-days travel. On the way was a museum we have passed by many times, intending to stop. The Tallahassee Antique Auto Museum has been described to us as “fantastic” and “Eclectic.” They also allow overnight parking (and even though it was a grassy field,
Bug Smasher of the Year!
Our next stop, after Hilton Head was the banks of the Mississippi, in Vidalia, La., where there is a LOVELY RV PARK that overlooks (for the moment) the Mississippi River. I say “for the moment” because the river is rising, and will soon flood the bottom end of the park. But not for at least
Hilton Head and Iowa Crack
We arrived at HH just a couple of hours ahead of a major, and fairly violent cold front. We had a few hours of warm, sunny weather before the crash, though, and put it to full use – cocktails on the patio and then Mexican Food at a place with a fantastic Guitarist. Put us
