This morning we headed out to see Lake Michigan. Tom had mapped a path that just so happened to coincide with Racine. You might remember the name if you have ever watched “A League of Their Own.” They were the team battling the Rockford Peaches in that movie. We passed through Rockford, IL but were unable to stop. I didn’t mention us visiting the Peaches and Tom said I was about 80 years too late. We weren’t able to get close to the Lake, well close enough I guess. But we did see some interesting things. Chief among them was a Historical Marker about the Underground Railroad.
After the walk along the harbor, we decided to stop in and see the Racine Historical Museum. It was free and we left a donation. I had thought there would be more about the Belles but there was only one small section.
We found it interesting there was also some information about a Drum and Bugle Corp along with the Kilties. Also information about Malted Milk
We decided to purchase a new ice chest that we will use going down the road. Our refrigerator has stopped working on gas and so we only have use of it on shore power. We will put our items from the fridge in the new Artic Ice Chest while traveling. The other solution would be to put the 5th wheel in the shop and get the fridge replaced. I’m not prepared to do that yet, since our freezer still works great and the fridge works well when we’re plugged in.
Tonight was our Milwaukee Brewers game. Can I just say I was hoping they would both lose? But if I had to choose one to win between the two I would choose the Brewers. I am a diehard Cardinals fan and rooting for the Cubs would be unheard of. Even when we go to see the Cubs on Friday I will not be rooting for them. Sadly, we will miss the White Sox game because of a snafu with our travels.
We’ll be in Indiana tomorrow for four lovely nights. The weather looks great for two of those nights. Rain is in the forecast tomorrow and Thursday. I’m still fascinated by all the rain since it’s been almost 20 years since I’ve seen rain in the summer.
Today I found the tea I use and I got Starbucks. Plus we had no issues, so I’m calling that a good day. Our journey is over for today. I hope you’re journey was a good one.
