About Us

Welcome to our blog of our 2013 trip. We Have been camping since our honeymoon. Each summer we take a trip to a new part of our country. We try to stop at local fairs & festivals, take tours of manufacturing plants, do a little kayaking, and try to get an up close look at how people live! Join us! This Bog runs from our most recent post backwards. At the end of this year,I have left the past years blog. Double click on any picture to get a larger image. These are all low res versions. If you see one you really like, let me know and I'll send you a better image.

Final Thoughts

We finished up at home on Saturday afternoon, August 14, 2010.
We covered 3623 miles with the trailer, 5177 in the truck. We registered in 14 campgrounds for an average of ~ 2.75 nights per stay. We stayed 3 nights in WalMart lots, and two nights at Carriage's complimentary campground.
We visited two countries, 1 province, & 8 states. Aside from our two destinations, Algonquin, and Oshkosh the places we visited, and the campgrounds where we stayed were all serendipitous. I think we're getting pretty good at letting the wind direct us.

Liz and I have a lot of great memories from this trip, Some of which I've documented in this blog, some of which I did not. The Michigan trip was mostly about fairs, and factories, Last year's was highlighted by our first trip to Oshkosh, this years was cruises. But one common theme runs through all of these trips, the people we meet. From the people in Traverse city sitting on the side of a street, to the veteran we sat next to at a Fri night fish fry last year, to the 30 something woman who came here from Holland a few years ago for an opportunity to farm - and who has created world class Gouda cheese - These are really interesting people, who share a little of their lives with us on our trips. So as long as we are able, we'll keep traveling.
