So on my way to the frozen north. It was 95 when I arrived here and I was prepared with several fans to try and survive the night. Well the temperature started to drop around 9pm and by 10pm the fans were off and the blanket was dug out. Great night and a really nice park.Read more

I am camping next to the Mighty Mississippi it is really neat watching the huge barges go by. I have been told the paddlewheel boats go by and maybe I will be lucky enough to see one. Today the weather is beautiful 85 was the high and already below 70 before nightfall. May not be a restful night since there is a train crossing within sight but we will see. Great drive through the rolling hills of Arkansas. Tomorrow I might make Illinois but might also do some sight seeing here. This park is very hilly and has some fantastic overlooks and cliffsRead more

I might stay here forever!!!

Wine and a view more tomorrow
So Bonnie, the dog, and I put in 5 miles of walking today. Saw Sandhill cranes, white pelicans and a mess of Red Winged Blackbirds. Tomorrow we go on a bike ride, 20 miles of training for Betsy and 1 1/2 mile ride for me to the local coffee spot. Really enjoying the views and the weather. We did have a bit of rain today so did not get out the kayaks yet but that will be soon.Read more

Day 9
Another beautiful day.
June 11, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F
So today was working in the yard, kayaking and soaking up the sun. It was wonderful. What do you think of my marine treasure? Found about 10 feet of 3 inch coiled rope floating in the cove. Almost capsized bringing it in. Then today found 3 boat bumpers and can't wait to see what I find tomorrow. Poor Betsy is not sure about the treasures.Read more
If you find some more treasures you can built your own boat

Day 11
same old place
June 13, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
So dropped Betsy off at Green Bay airport so she can fly to another island, Hawaii. I took the opportunity to have breakfast/lunch at the Belgian Delight restaurant. Their stuffed french toast was awesome. Then off to the Island Cider tasting room and then onto the ferry to return to the island. I now am responsible for the dogs and house all by myself. What a luxury. the Apple/ginger cider is fantastic. The turtle was our guest this morning. Had a nice thunderstorm last night so I think the turtle decided to hang out with us until it cleared.Read more

Day 12
Still here
June 14, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
so did a 11.5 mile bike around the island. Which lead to me climbing the fire tower, visiting the historic dairy which is really a lavender farm, and checking out the bars on Main street. It was a good day.

Plus of course I walked the dogs a couple of times, and pulled weeds in the flower beds in hopes of earning my keep and maybe an invite back.Read more
