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

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

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?
