Our travels take us many places. There is a general direction and, at times, a purpose. The first week of travel is usually made up of one nighters, Walmarts, rest areas, and travel centers.

Rainy Days and Tuesdays
One of the inevitable circumstances of RVing is weather. Watching diligently from multiple sources keeps the traveler aware. Today is one of those days.

Scenes from Rend Lake
We are currently back at Rend Lake, more specifically Wayne Fitzgerald State Park. We have come here for the past several years at the end of our trips and have always enjoyed its immense peace and beauty. This year we are here early and plan on staying as long as we possibly can. Our goal…
