Last evening when we arrived at the local state park, Sally and Max popped over for a visit and to plan our Thursday. On previous visits Sally has been an excellent tour guide so this time, with no burning need to play tourist, we expressed a desire to take care of...

2019 West Again
Brohman General Store
About midway between Holland and Traverse City we stopped at the E-Z Mart in Brohman, Michigan more because we needed a break than because we needed fuel. What a lucky break. We found a store that offered more than the usual convenience store fare. We got several...
Adventures in Oz
When we spotted a billboard yesterday about a new outdoor Wizard of Oz exhibit was opening on June 15th in Holland, we did some quick online research and planned our route, which in fact will includes Kansas next month, to take us through Holland, Michigan. The...
Fort Custer State Park
Between Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, just east of Galesburg, Michigan, Fort Custer State Park is a great base from which to explore southwestern Michigan. It's on land that was once a part of Fort Custer which was built during WWI, housed German POWs during WWII, and...
Kellogg Discovery Center
Not long ago we discovered Corn Flake Kings: The Kellogg Brothers on YouTube which piqued an interest in visiting the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Today we learned that the sanitarium building is now a federal government building. However we did get to tour the Dr....
Into Michigan
It's our first day of Summer Ramble 2019! Leaving Sugarcreek we headed west out of Tuscarawas County and through Holmes County noting how little we actually got out and about during our two weeks in Amish Country. We planned to stop briefly in Hayesville, Ohio to see...
Leaving in the Rain
It's been a soggy two weeks at Winklepleck. Even as we pulled in on the Tuesday before üCamp19 we had to be careful as to where we parked near our assigned power pedestal. Then as the rain progressed we found ourselves camping in the middle of a lake. Even once we...
A Bags Dinner
The last two years we have been at Winklepleck to greet Amanda as she arrived prior to üCamp. This year the tables were turned and Amanda was waiting for us. She helped us locate the pedestal we will share with three other trailers and position ours with consideration...
Showers for Everyone
Both Sc@rlett and Eric the Red have spent the Spring getting covered in pollen and then these two days have been collecting road grime. So our first stop in Sugarcreek was at the self service car wash. While we were waiting for the taller and wider bay to become...
Pizza Tonight
First night out. Full hookups so we can flush and sanitize our fresh water tank. Trying Saniclean instead of bleach this time. Also taking time to nest. Many of the things we knew we needed to take just got bundled or bagged and put into the wardrobe. Now it's time to...
