We have been in Aurora, Illinois helping our daughter Emily get ready for her backyard wedding.

Door County Fish Boil
July 23, 2002 I think it’s required to go to a fish boil when you visit Door County, Wisconsin. If not, perhaps it should be. At a traditional fish boil, the Boil Master will not only cook your delicious, butter drenched whitefish, but will tell you the story of how fish boils came to beContinue reading “Door County Fish Boil”
Useless dinette – gone!
July 20th, 2022 We thought we made a good choice when we went with a table and chairs instead of a booth option when we purchased our RV. A tiny booth was never going to fit our larger than average bodies. However, because the table was attached to the wall we could not adjust theContinue reading “Useless dinette – gone!”

We threaded through the Needles Highway and a nasty thunderstorm on our way to Mount Rushmore. But when we arrived, the skies cleared, the sun shone and it was a magnificent sight to see. As you walk into the gates you are greeted by the flags of all 50 states. We took our a shortContinue reading “Mount Rushmore – must see”

Badlands
June 30th, 2022 The stark landscapes and beautiful skies blew me away when we were in the Badlands. This was the day that I decided that I needed to upgrade from my I Phone 10 and get a “real” camera. Looks like we will have to come back when I get one! We started theContinue reading “Badlands”

Custer State Park

This is a spectacular park where you can take a drive through the hills and prairie and you are certain to spot some of the park’s resident bison, pronghorn, deer, elk, bigContinue reading “Custer State Park”

Spearfish Canyon, SD
June 28th, 2022 No matter how much you research your journey before you leave, nothing beats having a navigator with you who knows the region like they have lived there their whole lives. I searched sites and grabbed every single tourist magazine I could find. I have piles of pages for each of the excursionsContinue reading “Spearfish Canyon, SD”
