Perrot State Park

Today we drove to Perrot State Park north of La Crosse, Wisconsin. 

A bit ago, Steve got his first view of the Mississippi River.  Back in NY he took me kayaking on the Hudson River.  I had never seen the Hudson.

It took us a while to set up camp.  The main reason was i couldnt decide what shoes to bring on the bike tour.  It is supposed to be in the 90s during the day, 60s at night.





We are now at the Trempeleau Hotel getting dinner.


Last night we had a nice dinner at CTs deli in Rhinelander with my sister and her husband.  When we got back to camp I was very tired and a bit drunk on one beer.  In bed before 10 I was wide awake at midnight.  A peek out the window showed we had a clear starry night.

We got dressed and went out to watch the night.  We saw the milky way and a couple of meteors.  Lovely!

Til next time, enjoy your moments.

Six-Month US Tour Starts In Florida

Greetings from Fort White, Florida, We did it.  Despite mishaps and some angst, I am still feeling some angst, we have begun our 2024 Travels. Angst Last year we traveled together but I had Big Blue (my truck) and Lilac (my camper) with me.  And though I moved stuff into Steve's trailer and stayed with him, on travel days I was driving Big Blue on my own, and I had all the stuff that I don't use very often in my truck and trailer nearby. This is our first full season traveling with one truck and one trailer.  I am trying to adjust.  Steve is very accommodating and a good partner for this trip.  It's just me, worrying. And maybe some of the angst is world news, the US 2024 elections, and some of it is worrying about my son.   He just changed jobs and then in a few days he got laid off from the new job making him un-eligible for unemployment because he had not worked there long enough.  He will be fifty this year and I still worry.  So if you k...

Back In Florida, Reuniting With Routines And Folks

 Hello from Inverness, Florida! We made it back to what I consider my home base, Inverness, Florida, on October 26.  Since then we have been kind of busy.  I love my Florida routine.  Monday, Wednesday and Friday I have morning exercise with friends and then the gym for weights and PT exercises.  Tuesday and Thursday I ride with the Withlacoochee Bicycle Riders (WBR), and on Saturday I meet WBR friends for breakfast.  I love these folks here. Unpacking and Reloading My truck was parked in Steve's Garage without the cap.  The engine started right up and the interior didn't smell musty.  Yay! My trailer, LILAC also did not have bugs or mice or any moldy smell. The next day I moved into my assigned camping spot at Oasis Mobile Home and RV park about three miles south of downtown Inverness.  It is a small spot and it took me a while to get it into position.  All my neighbors were out trying to help me with directions that didn't make sense....

It Isn't An Adventure Unless Someone Almost Dies

Greeting from the Center Of The Universe, I will get to the "almost died" part later.  But I guess I should give you an explanation about the Center of the Universe. Steve's daughter Erin and her boyfriend Matt joined us for a few days at the Center of the Universe.   How do we know it is the center?  It is marked by a fancy manhole cover in the middle of an intersection in downtown Wallace, Idaho.   Twenty-six years ago the mayor of Wallace declared that they were the center.  His reasoning was that there are four mountain passes that come right through the middle of Wallace.  As good a reasoning as any, since no one knows where or if the Universe has boundaries.  And now the small tourist and mining town has a new reason to hold a little festival/celebration each year. I hope this letter finds you doing well.  My friend Margaret got COVID and is still weak and tired from it. She is working her way back into her biking and exercise rout...
