  • Hotel Motel Holiday Inn

    23 september 2021, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌧 50 °F

    Tyson and I parted ways for the first time in 10 months. He stayed in Marlette with the camper and animals and I came back to Kalamazoo for doctor appointments. FYI: Been having neurological issues. Most likely early stage Lyme. On antibiotics for Lyme now and symptoms are starting to go away. 🙌🏼 I decided to splurge and get a hotel room at Delta Marriott for the night. Because of continual heavy rain (welcome back to Michigan) Tyson decided to stay out one extra night which meant another hotel stay. It did not suck. That bed was like sleeping on heavenly clouds! My old friend Anne came over for a visit and soak in the indoor pool/hot tub. Been playing tennis almost everyday when in Kzoo. Love it! Also, Michigan roads are the worst. THE WORST.Läs mer

  • Holland then Kzoo - Last Time

    2 oktober 2021, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    Doug visited our campsite and I forgot to take a pic. 😩 It’s the first time he’s been out of the house besides for doctor appts so that was a big moment. He’s getting stronger physically and mentally. ❤️ Kzoo was for Tyson’s eye appt and to see Nikki. She was in town from Chicago. We attended the women’s march rally and then watched my old tennis team compete at the Y. Sooo good to see her.Läs mer

  • On the road again!

    3 oktober 2021, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

    Indiana! Tyson got caught in a wicked thunderstorm mtn biking. I had to rescue him which meant putting on big girl panties and driving the truck in a downpour in a city I don’t know to pick him up. The city campground is quite nice for $24/n with electric. Although we were surrounded water after the downpour. Wish I would have taken a pic of our electrical box and the cord to the camper. There was some concern. 😳 Brown County SP, Mammoth Cave NP, and Asheville, NC are next if all goes as planned. 🤞🏼🤞🏼Läs mer

  • Bourbon Trail with no bourbon stops

    7 oktober 2021, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

    Strangely, Tyson did not want to go to any of the distilleries. 🤷🏼‍♀️ So we hung out at a KOA and got a little bored. BUT we did finally get to put the KY sticker on our map. Under our outdoor mat is a mud pit. We did some slipping and sliding before getting that thing down. On our way to our next campground, we stopped at Mammoth Cave and took a hike with Kaline. Nice that this NP allowed dogs on their hiking trails. No cave tour though.Läs mer

  • Smoky Mtn NP

    21 oktober 2021, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F

    We both thought The Great Smoky MTN NP (or the Smoky Mtns) was spelled Smokey. You know, with an E like Smokey the Bear. Who knew? We stayed at Smokemont NP CG near Cherokee, NC. Our site was awesome on the river. This side of the NP was low key compared to the Walmart of tourist towns on the other side, Gaitlinburg. It was still fun to see it and walk around for a bit. An accident on the main NP road caused quite a delay in traffic. And it was overcast and rainy the one full day we had but still glad we made this a quick pit stop.Läs mer

  • Brevard, NC

    25 oktober 2021, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

    Beautiful weather the entire time in Brevard! Davidson River CG was a delight with well maintained trails, fly fishing river, and spacious campsites. Truly a nature lovers paradise. Tyson was in mtn biking mecca with The Hub cycle shop & Pisgah tavern only a mile away. Brevard reminds me of the smaller ski towns in Montana. Lots of fit outdoorsy folks in a relaxed atmosphere.Läs mer
