In business in the same building for 98 years and in operation at the same location on State Street in St Ignace, Michigan since 1940, this "Best L'il Diner on the Straits" is a gem. Looking for a cup of coffee and a treat, we never even looked at the inside of the...
The Museum of the Ojibwa Culture in St Ignace, Michigan was established at Marquette Mission Park. The location speaks eloquently of the interplay between the Ojibwa peoples and the French missionaries/explorers/fur traders here on the Straits of Mackinac. The...
Ever since we first crossed the Straits of Mackinac via the Mackinac Bridge, also known as the Mighty Mac and as the Big Mac Bridge, in 2012 we've been fascinated with this engineering wonder. This 5th longest suspension bridge in the world weighs more than a million...
On the grounds of what was the Fred Foltz & Sons dairy farm for three generations, John & Vickie and their son have established Rudbeckia Winery & Burnt Marshmallow Brewery near Petosky, Michigan. After getting our T@B set up nearby we walked over to the...
Last evening when we arrived at the local state park, Sally and Max popped over for a visit and to plan our Thursday. On previous visits Sally has been an excellent tour guide so this time, with no burning need to play tourist, we expressed a desire to take care of...
About midway between Holland and Traverse City we stopped at the E-Z Mart in Brohman, Michigan more because we needed a break than because we needed fuel. What a lucky break. We found a store that offered more than the usual convenience store fare. We got several...
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...

Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

Our destination when we departed western Massachusetts was northeastern Ohio to watch Peyton dance in a ballet production of Mary Poppins, hang out a bit with family, pick up some belongings from our storage area, and take care of some other personal business. There...
Peyton's been dancing for at least ten years and it thrills us every time we have the opportunity to watch here. Tonight she played a nanny, a band member, a panda, and a banker in a ballet production of Mary Poppins. We especially loved her brief solo with a...
Making the decision to live in our cute little 2021 T@B 400 teardrop trailer means that for us a road trip isn’t necessarily a vacation so we approach meal planning the way we would if we had a fixed residence. We grocery shop and prepare most of our meals at home....
