Gaylord - that's Michigan

Alrighty friends, we have arrived in our first Kampground - that's K for KOA. The world has moved on and wireless comes with campsites now! A big shout out to our friend Sadie, she's a Yooper, so we thought of her mightily on the drive.

We have made it 2/3rds of the way up the Lower Peninsula - a.k.a. The Sandbar. So far, we haven't seen too much, but we did arrive in the dark.

ROADKILL - 1 badger, 1 possum

Vanity Plates - BULLDWG - HORN - KATRE - CCTBILL - LAMB 2 - CS CK...


Now, maybe I read too much into this, but when we picked up the RV today, I checked the plate and it is ACT 9115; bear with me, I love a bit of conspiracy and you can make numerology mean anything. So, I query, are we supposed to ACT up or ACT out on the 5th anniversary of 9-11, or is it canonical, and from ACTs, Chapter 9, Verses 1-15? Herein, you get Saul on the road to Damascus having an epileptic seizure and confusing that for a vision of Christ; he is struck blind for 3 days, can't eat or drink, changes his name, and starts to preach a religion he knows nothing about...


Neither Patriotism nor Religiosity is much a concillation for me... Your votes???

Here's Harve enjoying libation with the girls!!

Loadin' Up!

Alright, we've picked up the beast and are loading up as I type...

Thanks to the faithful readers - already! - here's a shout out to Red Elk, always needing specifics... Picture will be posted; sorry, super petrol, no corn or soy; 13 inch with DVD - better than a glass shard in the eye...

Enjoy - next one from somewhere closer to or in the Yoop!

Marge Readies

Well, today’s the day we depart. I packed in way too much food, of course, positing that even junk food from WFM is better than junk food from a truck stop, and optimistic that having some nutritious mealmakings will prevent too many bad choices. I am excited to get going, but also a little nervous. I imagine that by touring the middle of the grand ole USA that we’ll be seeing lots of interesting things that one does not see much elsewhere in the world. Hope we can take it. It’s one thing to be blissfully ignorant in another country where you can’t understand a lot of what people are saying and doing, but so close to home, I suspect traveling is going to be a little less vacation-like. Regardless, I feel sure that the natural wonders we’re going to see will make up for anything less than wonderful, and hope that Missy and Dawn are formidable enough to keep the other Harves and Marges from pestering us too much at the campsites. That said, one of the reasons I love so much to travel is not only discovering unique places and things, but the possibility of finding out that my preconceptions turn out to be completely off track.
