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...
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...
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....
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...
Apparently even native Michiganders have trouble problem the name of this Big Spring near Manistique on Michigan's UP. But whether or not you can pronounce Kitch-iti-kipi, it's a place you should visit. It's a State Park that interprets the natural features of this...
Yesterday's route took us along the shore of Lake Michigan through Charlevoix, past the former World's Largest Cherry Pie Pan, Petoskey, and Mackinaw City, across the Mighty Mac, and then west on US-2, the Lake Michigan Scenic Highway almost to Naubinway. We then...
Who could resist an opportunity to enjoy ice cream prepared on site within sight of the dairy cows that produce the raw materials for this delicious frozen confection? Not us! Sally proposed a trip to Moomer's and we said "Yes!" We recall having tasted this great ice...
It's always great fun to have a local guide who can take you to their favorite spots but it's also fun when they are willing to try out a new place with you. Today at lunchtime we and Sally did just that. We headed to North Peak Brewery. When we saw the sign for...
One of the delights of hanging out with Sally is finding great places to eat. We chose Harrington's By the Bay on the shore of Grand Traverse Bay where each of us chose some delicious version of Fish & Chips as we relished the view from our waterfront window booth...
Once we were set up at Traverse City State Park across the highway from Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay, Sally drove out to meet us and to get a tour of Sc@rlett. She hasn't seen our specific version of the nüCamp T@B 400. However she did see Penelope, the prototype we...

On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
