Saturday July 16. Long day of driving. Google maps said 4 hr 20 min. but we managed to take all day. Finally arrived at this park around 5:00 PM but that’s Atlantic time, one hour ahead of eastern time. Ate lunch at a TripAdvisor recommended spot, Debi’s Diner in Patton, Me. Known for regional foodContinue reading “Fundy NP”

We left Dry River CG in Crawford Notch SP this AM. We liked the privacy of the sites, each separated from the next by 30 – 40 feet of forest. Restrooms and showers were clean, no hook ups but we don’t need them. No cell phone signal, and far from town, but again not aContinue reading “On to Maine”

July 8, 2022 I wasn’t planning to blog the first two days, after all they are just driving days. But Pleasant Valley Farm is worth a mention. Jim, the owner, who loves to water ski, bought it in 1994. Although there was no body of water on it, he had a vision. Here are someContinue reading “Oh! The Places You’ll go!

Got to Ochlockonee State Park yesterday 1/29 late, after dark and the gate was locked! Who knew they locked the gates to State Parks with campgrounds. We went back to the nearest town where I met a guy wearing hunter camouflage pacing back and forth beside his truck, which had two large dog boxes inContinue reading “It’d Make a Cracker Jack Deer Dog”

Our annual four weeks at Estero Beach and Tennis on Ft Myers beach went by fast. First week was figuring out the new routines for Sammy and integrating him to them. Boarded him at Country Pet Ranch part of the week, slept in the van with him at a Harvest Host site (a church) andContinue reading “Ft. Myers Beach”

Wellsville is quintessential small town America. On the Genesee river, with a population of roughly 8,000 and very rural, the downtown somehow survives. Chris lives in a group home 21/2 blocks from Main street. Here is a picture of her and Peggy on the corner of her street and Main street with her favorite stoppingContinue reading “Swellsville with Chris”

From Bloomington to Oakwood on Sunday, 10/10. Got to see Noel play soccer then we made the drive to Oakwood where we found Don, Anne and the kids at the Oakwood fall festival. Met Max there, a ragamuffin dog, soft, furry and friendly. Here he is: It was great to see them even if theContinue reading “Oakwood 10/10 – 10/11”

First a note to those I don’t know who have signed up to follow this sporadic, somewhat pointless blog…..you’re welcome to if you want but it’s mostly for me to remember where we went and what we did. It’s also for friends and family to see the same, should they be interested. I keep itContinue reading “Oct 7 to 10, Spring Mill SP”

No Thursday night was at this state park, Burr Oak must have been Wednesday, Hotel Indigo was Monday and Tuesday. Door county for all its fame is still largely agricultural and rural. The tourist spots are the towns on Green Bay, the two state parks and certain fruit farms, cherry this time of year, appleContinue reading “Door County, Peninsula State Park”

Tuesday and Wednesday stayed at the Hotel Indigo on IHG points but had to pay the pet fee, worth it. Had a great room, meaning it was right by the elevator which went straight down to the parking garage and street. Rochester is clean and safe, flower beds on every block. Incredible, Sammy found rabbitsContinue reading “Rochester Mn. Mayo Clinic”
