Prairie Island Campground in Winona MN sounded like a nice stopping place on our trek along the Mississippi shore according to the AllStays app. A phone call confirmed that they had a spot for us. But when we arrived we discovered that half this city park campground...
After breakfast today we were thwarted in our efforts to make a second cuppa. The stove wouldn't light. Sure enough, we're out of propane! A Google search and a phone call later and we added Lakes Gas Company in Hager City WI as an interim destination to our day's...

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.
