So, where was the final stop along our route home from Ontario and Lake Superior, where we were able to check off an item that has been on our bucket lists for years? The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn, MI! Years ago, we started watching a show called Innovation Nation that aired […]
Our final stop on our 2026 Lake Superior explorations was at Pancake Bay Provincial Park, for a brief 2 night stay. Just like at the other two provincial parks on this trip (see the two previous posts for information on them) we stayed on-site, in the park’s campground. This was a nice campground set back

From Neys Provincial Park (see the previous post to read about all the great things we did there), we traveled to Lake Superior Provincial Park for three nights. We had no idea how HUGE this provincial park is, so we ended up only exploring the southern end, near our campground. If we had it to

We have just returned from two weeks along Ontario’s section of the Lake Superior North Shore. If you have followed along for a while, you will know that we visited this area in 2024, but the entirety of our time spent in Ontario during that trip was at Pukaskwa National Park. At that time, we

From Monte Sano State Park that we visited in our last post, we headed about 80 miles east to DeSoto State Park. We weren’t really sure what to expect, but this park has quite a lot to offer. In addition to the campground where we stayed, there are cabins, a swimming pool (in season), a

What a great few days we are coming off of in Monte Sano State Park, near Huntsville, Alabama. Life has been hectic and busy lately, so a few days away were just what we needed! As a bonus, we had several friends join us in their own camping rigs. Not only did we get some

We made our rounds to see various family members for Christmas, and then rang in the New Year with friends at Tallulah Gorge State Park in northern Georgia. While our focus for

Wow! What a place! We know that the signs all say this is a STATE park, but it is unlike any state park we have ever seen before. Between the wildlife, the lakes, the lodges, the scenic drives…it feels much more like a true NATIONAL park experience! And with so many other attractions so close
As promised in our last post, we have another post about the rock of South Dakota, but this time we are going underground to see it! Did you know that South Dakota has extensive cave systems? We had to check some of them out while in the area, so we spent some time in both

We have finally been able to get back out on the road and start exploring again, and for our first trip in the new truck we chose the Black Hills of South Dakota! We have done so much since we got here that it will have to be at least three different posts, but we
Most of you know by now that we travel with two Lectric XP 1.0 (first generation) E-Bikes. Because they are electric bikes, we really wanted a way to carry them that was out of the weather, meaning that we didn’t want to use a bike rack. Sure, we could put them on a rack and

We finally did it! We purchased our new tow rig! We could spend a ton of time writing all about it and introducing it to you in a blog post, but our video does a better job than we could do here with mere words and pictures! Click below to watch, see the new rig,
With a little bit of time off work, we had the opportunity to take a long weekend trip this weekend and opted to go to Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. This park lies in southern Kentucky and northern Tennessee, and we have previously visited the area on the Kentucky side, so we

Door County, Wisconsin is a very special place to us. It is where Jeff was born and spent the first three years of his life, it is where many of Jeff’s extended family members still live, it is even where we first vacationed together, along with many more vacations since that first one. We love

After a gorgeous few days in Pukaskwa National Park, we continued southwest, back into the U.S. to continue to explore Lake Superior along Minnesota’s North Shore. There is so much to see and do that it was difficult to decide which attractions to see this time, and which ones to leave for a future visit.
