Yesterday was our first day of actually driving the Great River Road. We joined the Mississippi on the east side of Lake Bemidji and meandered along the river all the way to Palisade. It truly is an area that invites you to travel over the river and through the woods....
Today we begin our exploration of the Mississippi River along The Great River Road. Actually we've been fascinated by the great river from Lake Itasca, the Mississippi Headwaters in northern Minnesota to Destrehan Plantation near New Orleans, we've visited quite a few...
Today's a long travel day in our book, from Island View Lodge to Bemidji KOA Journey. Apple Maps tells us it's a 287 mile journey almost exclusively along US-2 and that it should take us 5 hours 18 minutes. Then of course there's a need for stops along the way not to...

It was our good fortune to be in Bloomington on this beautiful Saturday, the day of Bloomington's annual Handmade Market, a street fair on Kirkwood Avenue. We had a delightful time poking through various booths helping CJ & Phil scout out alien themed trinkets for...

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation.
