Guess what guys? It's raining! HA! We arrived here on Wednesday and it was a beautiful day. Sunny, clear, no humidity and NO BUGS! It was great and we were in heaven. The camp host said that this was pretty much the norm and that they hadn't had a whole lot of rain this summer so we thought we should be in the clear. Well, this storm came through today (Friday). Although it has been very minor it has brought the humidity but we still love it here. I think this is my favorite city so far on the trip. Duluth is a beautiful city that sits right on the shores of Lake Superior. As you know, this is the Greatest of the Great Lakes and if it's entire surface were to freeze over (which has ... read more

Boy do I have a bunch to tell you this time. We are in Medora which is a very tiny town in western North Dakota. My niece Andrea had told me about it and so we decided to head there from Spearfish. Before we left Spearfish we did have a little boo-boo. Don was walking Karlie and he wanted to get a picture of her with her new "friend" the little baby lamb and between keeping her on the leash and away from the lamb and getting a picture, well you can guess what happened. Yep, the camera was dropped and needless to say a gonner. We stopped at Walmart on the way out of town for me to buy a replacement. So, the pictures you will see starting with this blog are from our new ... read more

What is the saying, "Things come in threes'". Well, I think we are going through that. When we left Malad, ID we decided to get 2 new front tires for the RV because we had been having bad riverwear and with us putting on so many miles we didn't want to get a flat tire somewhere in the middle of timbuktu and be at the mercy of someone to rip us off so we went to someone we trusted. Then the night before we were to leave Polson the microwave decided to quit working in the RV. We couldn't get it fixed there so we set up an appt. in Idaho Falls for Wed. since we were leaving on Tues. Meanwhile Landon called that day to tell us that the dryer quit working at home. (He ... read more

We arrived here in Polson, Mt today and met Reta & Jim (our friends from Amarillo, TX). We are staying at Eagles Nest RV park which is on the golf course and very close to the lake. The lake is huge and kind of reminds me of Lake Shasta. The weather has been beautiful today and we are looking forward to spending some time with our good friends. They have introduced us to pickle ball which is a lot like racquet ball but with a wiffle ball. You play on an outdoor smaller scale tennis court. It gets pretty competitive. Of course I am just a spectator. There is another couple here from Princeton, California that they met in AZ this past winter, Frank & Bev and we look forward to getting to know them better ... read more

Hello from Malad Idaho! We have been here since June 22nd. Left Home on the 21st and stopped in Merced to have breakfast with Don's brother Bill & his son Doug. Then it was on to Winnemucca and the Walmart parking lot for the night. Nothing but 1st class for us! Got into Neil & Sherry's the next day around 5pm and after dinner Don was out working in the fields. He could hardly wait! He has been raking and swathing hay since we got here. We will be leaving here on Monday to head to Polson Montana to meet up with Reta & Jim, our friends from Amarillo, and be staying there for a week. It has been fun here at Neil & Sherry's but if we don't get on the road we will never ... read more
