The U.P. is a great location to get away from the oppressive heat our country is experiencing.  My heart goes out to all those affected by this continued heat pattern. Dave and I decided to return to a location we visited during the Great Loop – Fayette Historic State Park.  It is on the southern […]

This week we continued to explore the U.P. – the upper peninsula of Michigan, its northern shoreline on Lake Superior.  There is gorgeous scenery everywhere you look.  We hiked in the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness Park with over 90 waterfalls – all the water heading towards Lake Superior.  We also noticed many ski resorts as we

Before we headed to Lake Superior, we celebrated the 4th of July at Moose Lake, MN.  I was hoping by staying on Moose Lake we would see a moose, but alas, no moose ventured our way.  Dratz!   I did get a picture of a moose on a sign.  Does that count? Murphy at Moose Lake

This week started with a few more days in Durand, WI, first with a visit to the Eau Galle Cheese Factory, winning awards for their hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano.  Their other cheeses were great too.  Being able to taste test several varieties, it helped us decide which ones to purchase.

Dave and I have about 2 weeks to explore on our way to Roan Mountain, TN. Why do we need to be in Roan Mountain in two weeks?  Well, Anne & Jim (who we visited last year) are taking care of Murphy for us. Why are Anne & Jim taking care of Murphy you ask? 

Late last year, Dave and I signed up to ride in the first annual Grit, Gravel, and Roll bike ride, located near Ocala, FL (north central FL).  Scheduled for April 22nd, we thought it would be great event to start our 2023 RV adventure.  The event was held at the Black Prong Equestrian Center, which
