Well, we survived a brief visit to Chicago. Words chosen carefully. “Visit” because we frankly feel more at home now in the bus. At least the first several nights at our apartment in Chicago, I woke up in the middle of…

Going “Home” (?)
Nearly finished with our first crack at “full-time” RVing — heading back to Chicago. We stopped a couple of times; Once in Baraboo Wisconsin (Ho-Chunk Casino parking lot) and also Delavan’s Walmart. Then we decided to add a stop in East…
Last “scheduled” stop on the first circuit – Minneapolis
Our last destination on the road was Minneapolis, where my extended family resides. We stayed in a nice campground in a distant suburb. Which causes me to wonder… Why are there no RV Parks nearby ANY city? My father, urban-planner…
Shipshewana Indiana…Lovely and Surprising
Our next stop was to see Leon, the Amish A/C guy. Leon was absolutely all that his reputation lead us to expect. His shop was very modern. Yet, no power. Batteries only for LED Shop Lites. When testing stuff in…

The Jersey Shore (B4 the Season!)
The weather in Cape May was ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR, so we went bike riding for miles every day as a result. The area around Cape May offered a laid-back atmosphere (which may be because it is definitely OFF season) and variety…
The Fountain of Youth must be in WashDC
I am writing this in Cape May, NJ. We are here for a few days R&R after we spent a week in Washington DC, helping my Aunt get a new computer. Marilee is 104, and she uses her Mac every…
