Museum Tour Video It seems there’s much more to do in central Kansas than we realized. We stopped at Fort Riley only to learn that the US Calvary Museum is currently closed for renovation. The good news is that gave us time to say “Let’s stop!” when we passed a brown...
Although we were not wearing Ruby Slippers when we found a yellow brick road across from the City Park in Wamego, Kansas, we headed off to see the Wizard at the Oz Museum, the Emerald Green building on Lincoln Avenue. Lighthearted and historical all at once, this...
It’s just a little tiny RV park on the edge of Wamego, Kansas right next door to a Caterpillar manufacturing facility. Calvin's RV Camping offers full hookups, a laundry room, a storm shelter, and a friendly host couple who were enchanted with our T@B. We chose to...
When choosing a restaurant for a Birthday Meal, it’s a good idea to search Yelp! for Desserts. That strategy lead us to The Keeping Room in Nebraska City, Nebraska. We parked the T@B on a street parallel to Central Avenue and walked to the restaurant. Not many people...
It’s been a good two night stay here at the West Omaha KOA. We’d been pleased when we were able to get Saturday night reservations online just a couple of days before the weekend then when we called and could not get Friday night also, we weren’t surprised. Then when...
The two of us might know more than most non-Mormons about the early history of the Latter Day Saints and especially of their time in Nauvoo since Karen has an ancestor that professed the faith in Nauvoo but then chose to not join the Saints when they migrated to Salt...

Last summer we visited the Golden Spike National Monument where the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific Railroads met to complete the nation's first transcontinental railroad. Today we visited the eastern beginning of that epic construction project and visited the...
Bodega Victoriana Winery near Glenwood in Iowa's Loess Hills just east of the Missouri River is our Harvest Hosts location tonight. We parked in a fairly level spot in their large and all but empty parking lot and headed up the stairs to meet our host, Doug...
This morning we visited Freedom Tire in Ames and got new tires for Eric the Red, our 2008 F-150. Our last safety check indicated that we should be replacing tires fairly soon but something told us to do it sooner rather than later. Apparently we did it none...

We’re on the move again heading in a westerly direction. We left Ohio on Friday and set up for two nights at the Bluffton/Fort Wayne South KOA Journey near Fort Wayne, Indiana. As is typical for us, we made plans on the fly. We made the campground reservations on the...
It's been five weeks since we arrived in Ohio and we've had three different long stays, six nights at Nimisila, ten nights at Winklepleck, and sixteen nights moochdocking behind our son's family's house. Besides the fabulous week at üCamp, it's given us the...
