So much has happened since our last post. We'd love to go into greater detail about every adventure but it's time we got you caught up to where we are now. Hopefully we'll do a better of job of timely posts going forward. It was way back on Tuesday July 11th that we...
Today's a long travel day in our book, from Island View Lodge to Bemidji KOA Journey. Apple Maps tells us it's a 287 mile journey almost exclusively along US-2 and that it should take us 5 hours 18 minutes. Then of course there's a need for stops along the way not to...
This is It! Proclaims a sign at the end of Fisher Lake Road, as you arrive at Island View Lodge near Mercer, Wisconsin. We first arrived here for a Harvest Hosts overnight last August and immediately fell in love with the feel of this place. Before we departed we...
This is it! There was something about their write up on the Harvest Hosts website that really intrigued us and drew us to stay at Island View Lodge in the Wisconsin Northwoods near Mercer. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Erin and soon after befriended by...
Our home these last four nights has been Dalrymple City Park Campground just three-quarters of a mile north of downtown Bayfield, Wisconsin, right on Lake Superior. We arrived shortly after eleven on Sunday morning and successfully scored Site #14, one of the 25...
Madeline Island Museum Video As we began planning for this stop we were both excited about the possibility of visiting the Madeline Island Museum in La Pointe, Wisconsin knowing that this location has been/is a spiritual center for the Ojibwe. With our cruise...
Having learned a lesson from our 2019 visit to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore near Bayfield in northwest Wisconsin we went online a few days ago and secured our tickets for a Grand Tour with Apostle Island Cruises, a National Park Service approved...
Bayfield Maritime Museum 3D Tour Today started gently as we awakened in the campground at Dalrymple Park with a view of gorgeous greenery out our Stargazer window. After spending the next couple of hours enjoying our surroundings, we walked the short distance into...
To Mead or not to Mead wasn't really a question at White Winter Winery in Iron River, Wisconsin yesterday. We pulled in, spoke with our hostess, who was expecting us as part of the Harvest Hosts program, got ourselves situated behind their building, met our fellow...
Last night we had the distinct pleasure of being guests of Katie & Scott at Valley Pasture Farm in Elk Mound, Wisconsin as a part of the Harvest Hosts program. We are so grateful for the opportunity to renew our annual membership year after year and thus have...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! 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.

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
