This is the last official day of our trip west. Once we cross over into Canada 🇨🇦 the next week is family time. It is wet and foggy this morning, the only time we have set up and dismantled in rain. The campsite was muddy yesterday and not wanting to mess up the van atContinue reading “Day 33 | Port Huron, MI to Komoka, ON”

This morning is cloudy and misty. The view is the worst we’ve had so far, that being the maintenance yard of the campground. It was also noisy with later than usual large group campfires and it was a Saturday night. Oh well, it was only a place to put up for the night. The blackContinue reading “Day 32 | Ludington, MI to Port Huron, MI”

Today is going to be an interesting one with a very different pace and set of activities. We are definitely in return mode now but the next 3 days will be determined by another force. Pretty morning again but with a threat of rain so everything outside was packed up as soon as we gotContinue reading “Day 31| Manitowac, WI to Ludington, MI”

This is a longish travel day as we cross WI to Manitowac for the ferry across Lake Michigan to Ludington, MI. Hard to believe it is October 1st already. We were up and out of the campsite by 8:30 but, for the first time on this entire trip, there was a lineup for ‘dump andContinue reading “Day 30 | Hudson, WI to Manitowac, WI”

We had a little bit of rain over night that provided some soothing pitter patter. Fortunately we had put everything inside except for the outdoor mat. Another beautiful day. We drove south towards Fergus Falls through more light rain with a double 🌈 as a reward. Minnesota is much greener than the Dakotas and moreContinue reading “Day 29 | Glyndon, MN to Hudson, WI”

We slept last night with the back doors open. Unusually, the temperature didn’t drop with sunset as has been the case so far. Rain is predicted here for later in the day… badly needed. As we traveled south east towards Bismarck we passed at least two electric power producing facilities. Coupled with the oil drillingContinue reading “Day 28 |Stanton, ND to Glyndon, MN and Buffalo River state park”

We left camp early today as we have revised our travel plans somewhat. We had originally planned to try to get a campsite in the North Unit of TRNP but decided just to drive the loop and then head cross country to see the Knife River Indian Village and find something closer to Bismark. AfterContinue reading “Day 27 | Medora, ND to Stanton, ND”

We won’t have network for most of the day so I want to start today’s blog while I still have a network. Then I can add to it as the day goes on. We decided to have breakfast in the park again. The beauty of carrying your house around with you is that you alsoContinue reading “Day 26 | Theodore Roosevelt NP, South unit”

Gorgeous morning # 25. They really need rain here. Last night’s campground was one of the nicest private sites we have had on the trip. It was in Billings but on the Yellowstone River and 5 minutes from I 90. For the next 4 days we will be in state and NP sites. We haveContinue reading “Day 25 | Billings, MT to Medora, ND and Theodore Roosevelt NP”
