Apparently an incredible experience like a Fourth of July Parade in Slater isn't enough. Pam and Mike set out to show us more of the delights of central Iowa starting with a stop at Double Dipped in Huxley for ice cream or coffee or both in the form of an affogato,...
It was a Fourth of July Parade like none we've ever seen, but then the Florida towns we've lived in didn't tend to have parades in steamy July. With Mike and Pam we traveled to Slater and joined the folks of Story County to watch their parade. This was a...
Everything's greater in Slater! This is the wisdom imparted to us by Emily as we waited for the official fireworks display to get underway. Lots of unofficial, not necessarily legal, fireworks had been happening for a while. The neighboring communities of Cambridge,...
Our relationship with Mike and Pam dates back to üCamp17 and a joke we participated in when he told her he'd traded in their T@B 320 for our brand new 400. This year when we couldn't find enough time for visiting with them in Sugarcreek, we proposed stopping by...
Hansen's is a Harvest Hosts site, so as members of the organization they granted us the privilege of staying on site parked next to the pond overnight. We weren't the only ones. Two other RV's rolled in just before yesterday's tour. Afterwards we all rearranged to...
This may well be the most incredible Harvest Hosts experience we've yet had. We are guests tonight at Hansen's Dairy. Jay stopped by our T@B and welcomed us the the family farm that his great great grandparents homesteaded in 1864. The family began raising Holsteins...
This morning's route took us through the town of Hampton, Iowa with it's courthouse standing proudly in the center of town then past countless farms and fields, grain silos and barns adorned with painted quilts. In fact we tweaked our route this morning to see a...
There are days when our seat of our pants method of trip planning hits a snag or two. This morning we left Camp Faribo, Faribault, MN intending to visit the Meredith Willson Museum in Mason City, Iowa but enroute we discovered that the site is closed on Mondays. Plan...
It's yet another Minnesota Historical Society site and it's just as exciting as every other MNHS site we've visited. We arrived at the Snake River Fur Post in a light rain on the Saturday before the Fourth and were the only visitors on the tour with Jackie, our...
It was the winds buffeting the trailer that awakened us at six this morning. The dark sky and and the radar images looked ominous but ultimately the storm passed just north of us and we got just a brief patter of rain. Now we're traveling east on MN-23 and not only is...

Our granddaughter has been dancing for at least ten years now. She's been the younger of the sisters until this year, and she's finding her own way now with her older sister off to college. Her talents are shining! It's a delight to sit in the audience with her sister...
This one wasn't expected at all. We arrived last evening and overnighted in one of the Courtesy Sites behind the nüCamp RV Service Center for an appointment early this morning to have our wheel bearings repacked. Just a bit of preventative maintenance, no big deal. We...
While we were partying at Tween Creeks, our Redford our trusty red Ford F-150 was in the shop in Waynesville, NC. Even as we were finishing up with the after party clean-up at the vacation rental technicians were finishing up the trifecta of repairs that the truck...
