August 20, 2022 We arrived about 11AM at the Wakefield Elks for our three-night stay. I found an app with a set of walking tours for the Boston area. We headed out to Salem to check out what we could about the 1620 witch trials of Salem. Just walking from our parking spot into the… Continue reading Salem Witch Trials

Niagara Falls
CROSSING THE BORDER TO CANADA WITH AN RVWe crossed into Canada from Michigan. I was totally stressed for the two days prior trying to determine what foods were permitted into Canada via an RV. There really wasn’t any resource online with cut and dry answers. Since our frozen steaks were not in the original store… Continue reading Niagara Falls
Somewhere In Time & More
August 9th— Our day to go to Mackinac Island has arrived! Waiting till our last day here was ideal. We woke to beautiful blue skies. The weather was perfect all day long! We chose to use Shepler’s Ferry Service to get us to the island. Personnel at TeePee Campground recommended Shepler’s over Star Line because… Continue reading Somewhere In Time & More
Colonial Michilimackinac
Today we headed out to tour Fort Michilimackinac/Colonial Michilimackinac. The reconstruction of a 1770’s Fort Michilimackinac as determined from historical and archeological records was started in 1960. The buildings were constructed on the same site location as they were in the 1770’s. Michilimackinac was a fort and a community together. Within the fenced enclosure were… Continue reading Colonial Michilimackinac

Petoskey with Jerry & Belinda
Barry arranged for us to have two nights in Petoskey, MI at a Jellystone Park (previously KOA). This park had all sorts of activities and amenities for adults, children and families, but we weren’t there to use any of them. Barry selected Jellystone because it was only 2 miles from our CVR (Carefree Village Resort) friends, Jerry… Continue reading Petoskey with Jerry & Belinda
TimberRidge RV & Biking Traverse City
Aug 3 – It finally happened—our RV Garmin took us down a neighborhood street with nowhere to go! Luckily, it wasn’t near as bad as it could have been, but it is not a good feeling when you see only a heavily wooded area in front of you with two narrow private drives. We unhooked… Continue reading TimberRidge RV & Biking Traverse City
A Visit With Doug & Sandy

Doug takes care of the fairways at a local golf course during the summer. He loves his job and takes great pride in the work he… Continue reading A Visit With Doug & Sandy
Michigan! Van Buren State Park
We made it to Michigan! We were both excited for our travels within the state of Michigan over the next two weeks!
