You’ve probably heard the quote, often attributed to John Lennon, “Life is what happens, when you are making other plans.” So true! When we started this journey on July 1, we had plans. Tom had mapped out a travel plan that would take us to all the baseball parks we hadn’t seen yet. To be…

Yesterday morning we arrived at the Canadian border. I can’t even begin to tell you how stressed I was feeling with us dragging a 40 foot 5th wheel, three cats and and not a clue where we were supposed to go. As we were freaking out and voices were raising, a young woman came and…

It’s all about the cat and parking, well exiting. Today was Comerica Park Day and it did not disappoint. Tom started off worrying about parking but we headed out and hoped for the best. Parking was not difficult but getting out was hysterical. More about that later. There were fun things to see along the…

We have arrived in Michigan after spending several quiet days in Indiana. We are at a KOA near Ann Arbor that sits on a lovely lake. It’s a nice campground and the weather continues to be pleasant. We are enjoying being able to keep our windows open and not use the air conditioning. I’ve been…

Yesterday we entered Indiana in a rain storm. It was sprinkling when we left Jellystone Park and it only got worse from there. Traffic was terrible as well. It was a stressful drive. Oak Lake RV Resort is a nice quiet (mostly) resort off the highway in amongst the trees. We are here for four…

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…

We woke up around 2:30 a.m. this morning with the trailer rocking. The wind was so fierce it turned over our rain/wind gauge so I don’t know how high the gusts were but it was concerning. The rain started soon after and poured for some time. It finally stopped and I had about gotten back…

We changed our plans and are staying in Iowa for two days. We are between a giant soybean field and a massive solar panel field. It’s a nice park and there are lots of cute sculptures and a couple of chicken pens. This will give us a chance to regroup and rest. We arrived early,…

Yesterday was an interesting day to be sure. While still in Nebraska, we had a man stop next to us at a stoplight. He had me roll down the window and informed us our trailer brakes were growling. His words, not mine. But we were well on our way to Kansas City so we carried…

This morning we left Colorado, heading for Nebraska. It was a much easier drive with flat roads. The scenery wasn’t much to speak of with miles and miles of corn. Speaking of corn, while we were watching the weather there was a story about how corn is making the heat worse because it sweats. An…
