Who would have ever thought that night owls like us would end up touring Michigan’s ‘Sunrise’ coast? Only serendipity could make such an unlikely combination converge … with a little prodding from good friends. Earlier this spring, we really thought we’d be spending our summer slowly working our way westward towards Oregon via perhaps Colorado […]
Our Travels
Fort Sleepy – Decompressing in Central Michigan
After a hectic few weeks in Elkhart and attending the Fleetwood GLAMARAMA Rally in Goshen, IN – we were in serious need of some alone time. Researching and writing a book really requires finding a unique balance of undisrupted solitude, but quick distractions nearby for breaks. Our next major destination would be East Tawas, Michigan […]
Quick RVing Tip: Toad Light Check
A few weeks ago, our friend Chris Guld let me know that the first time they met us a year ago she was inspired by watching us check our toad’s lights. Usually we like inspiring folks for less mundane things, but we’ll go with it. She liked our system so much, that she and Jim […]
The Fleetwood & GLAMARAMA Rally
We swear.. we’re not becoming rally people! But when the Wynn’s invited us to join them for the Fleetwood rally they were presenting at in Goshen, IN – we couldn’t resist attending our 3rd major rally this spring. After years of blog stalking each other, we finally got to meet up for dinner a couple […]
Northern Indiana Exploring
Our time in northern Indiana hasn’t all been consumed with bus projects – we did get out and play a little too. Elkhart While still at Elkhart Campground (our review), RVillage founder Curtis Coleman hosted an impromptu meet up at his coach – which was very well attended. We hardly had time to talk with […]
Hanging around Elkhart
We’ve been hanging out in Elkhart, IN ever since the Escapade let out on the 17th at Elkhart Campground. Between the DOVES hosting Red Cross training classes, Nick Russell of the awesome Gypsy Journal offering his Self Publishing workshop and bunches of friends – who could resist? It’s been non-stop events, social gatherings, deepening of […]
Reflections on the Escapade
On a rather last minute whim, when we left Mitch’s castle we decided to head east instead of west – towards Goshen, IN and the 54th Annual Escapade, the annual rally of the Escapees RV Club. After attending the big FMCA rally down in Perry earlier this year, we had been told to expect quite […]
From a Castle to Escapade
After we left our decadent stay at the Castle in Illinois, we made the decision we were heading east instead of west to attend our first ever Escapade – the annual rally of the Escapees. We had a little over a week to make it to Goshen, IN – so we decided to take a […]
Had Fun Storming the Castle
We were contemplating where to head after St. Louis, feeling pulled westward to keep on track for our lighthouse hosting gig in Oregon this fall. And then Chris’ aunt Sherry got in touch, and said she and her boyfriend were back in the area – and they’d love to see us, at his castle. We had […]
A Wonderful Time in St. Louis
Chris has family in St. Louis. And over the years of us stopping in, I’ve just fallen in love with the city. This particular trip back had some goals: Spend time with Chris’ grandma, who had taken quite a spill earlier this year. She’s doing great! Move some boxes from our bus bay that we’ve […]
