Dave and I first stopped at Geneva-on-the-Lake (GOTL) during the Great Loop two years ago.  Located on the bank of Lake Erie, GOTL began as a summer resort in the late 1800’s, with an amusement park type atmosphere.  Some of the original stores are still there, including our favorite, Madsen Donuts, opening in 1938.  One […]

Dave and I spent this past week at a campground on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, near Niagara Falls. I was supposed to go on my annual girl’s trip, this year to Montreal, but one of my friends was unable to go, so the trip was postponed.  Dave and Murphy missed out on their

Our last stop in Michigan’s U.P. was just as beautiful, fun, and educational as all the rest.  Sault Ste Marie, pronounced “Soo” Saint Marie, is where Lake Superior flows into Lake Huron, via the St Mary’s River, which carries over 42 billion gallons of water each day. Wow!  Our campground was right on the river

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. We cannot

We started the week with a few more days in Cedar Falls, Iowa (my trip favorite so far).  Lots of cycling, jogs around the lake (with Murphy knowing exactly where the swim stops were), fun dog parks, weather in the 80’s…. great stop! Our next stop was Durand, Wisconsin, a small town only 70 miles

As I mentioned in the last blog, we had a mishap leaving the RV park in Tennessee. The back end of our RV hit a metal rail as we crossed a narrow bridge while making a tight left turn. Luckily, Bob’s RV Service Center was not too far away, in Marion, NC.   The RV was
