When we checked the Travel Ideas by State list that we keep in Notes on our iPhones, we remembered that one of the places we've been wanting to visit is the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper, Wyoming. Today we enjoyed the excellent multi-media...
After a nice lunch in Washburn we arrived at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center just before 3:30PM and learned that today's last tour of the Fort Mandan replica 2 miles away would begin at 4PM so we abbreviated our visit to the museum. We did learn a few new...

By sunrise we were the first in line waiting for the service department to open at City Motors Chevrolet in Great Falls. We've logged about 4,700 miles so far so figured routine service might be in order also wanted the A/C repaired. While we waited we had breakfast...
Heading west from Lake Thompson it was an easy jog into DeSmet to replenish our food supply at Maynard's Foods before continuing our journey. It's a great small town full service grocery offering everything we need without too many choices and very friendly service to...

We returned to the Lewis & Clark Center in Great Falls this morning. Enjoyed the talk on the kinds of boats they used and tried pulling a keelboat ourselves. Saw some of the five sets of falls that they portaged around then more or less followed the Missouri to...

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!
Thanks to the organizational skills of Mandy & Kgreat weekend of endrick, the amazing support of their team, and the sponsorship of nüCamp RV we enjoyed a great weekend of camaraderie and fun at the Northeast Rally. Gathering with fellow teardrop aficionados is always an enriching experience and this gathering in the Adirondacks was no exception.
