As we left Presque Isle we set our sights on finding a Pastie (pass-tee) before leaving Michigan. And success was ours in Wakefield. We saw a sign for Randall Bakery Pasties on our way into town and followed the signs, deviating from our plan to turn right onto US-2....
What a glorious way to start the day. Sunlight crept in through the stargazer window that looked out into the woods. Hot coffee. Eggs and sausage. And a hike along a portion of the 17 mile Lake Superior Trail to visit Manabezho, Manido, and Nawahada Falls along a...
Presque Isle Campground on the western edge of Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Michigan is home for us tonight. When we pulled in, Scott at the ranger station made sure we understood that this is a rustic campground then refused to assign us a spot but...
As we passed Agate Falls Scenic Site, we realized it was an opportunity too good to pass up, a chance to get out of the car and stretch our legs, to hike under a trestle bridge then walk across it, to see these incredibly scenic falls close up and from high above.
Not far from Marquette is the Michigan Iron Industry Museum in Negaunee. After hearing about it yesterday from a ranger at Munising Falls, we just had to stop. We got a bonus. The first gallery near the entrance was
Marquette Tourist Park west of Pictured Rocks offered a good place to rest our heads last night. We arrived without a reservation but still got Site 43 with electric, water, shade, and soon rain. We were grateful for good Verizon service and spent some time on the...
This gorgeous waterfall once was the source of power for the Schoolcraft Blast Furnace, a part of northern Michigan's 19th Century iron boom. A question about the geology of the area led to a lively conversation that involved three rangers at the Munising Falls...
See Park Video Our plan today was to travel through Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore pausing to drink in some of the beauty and history here. Today's adventure was the 1.8 mile hike along the Lakeshore Trail, a portion of the North Country Trail to Au Sable Light...
When asked about our travel plans for this summer we've been replying that "We're headed to Boston by way of San Francisco." and often get the reply, "You must really like driving!" In fact, that's not the most enjoyable part of our travels. We've talked a lot about...
Home for the night has been Site 15 at the Lake Michigan Campground in Hiawatha National Forest just west of St Ignace, Michigan on US-2. No hookups but with our NPS Senior Pass the fee was only $10 for a lakefront site. The fact that we could get decent Verizon data...

It's been a delightful quick trip to Greensboro, North Carolina. We stayed as driveway guests with Steve & Mary, our former neighbors. Through the years we've enjoyed many a wine evening, dinners at one another's homes, long delightful conversations, and as pod...
New River Gorge Video - May 2021 New River isn't exactly new, it's been a river for eons, perhaps the second oldest in the world. It may have gotten it's name when it was discovered as a river not already on the map. However New River Gorge National Park is our newest...
On our way south to our next stop, we paused in Sugarcreek to meet up with some of our friends at nüCamp RV, an amazing organization that we've been privileged to be associated with for the last fourteen years. After an afternoon spent with John, Julie, and Scott we...
