We packed up and left Mississippi Saturday morning. After all the rain on Friday, everything was caked in mud by Saturday morning. Yuck! Is that where Mississippi Mud Pie comes from? Shortly after we left the campground, I remembered that I had forgotten to latch the refrigerator…this is a...
After arriving in Mississippi on Tuesday, we spent a rainy Wednesday in the state’s capital of Jackson. Our first stop was the Old State Capitol which is now a museum. The building is beautiful, and has been restored a few times over its 185-year history…most recently after damage caused...
On our last night in Alabama, we stopped by “The Wharf” entertainment district not far from our campground to see their laser light show. They made good use of their very tall palm trees for the show! Thursday’s drive was only a few hours, heading West through Mississippi and...
Thursday morning we drove out to Fort Morgan, about 25 miles West of Orange Beach. It’s situated where Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico meet. The fort was completed in 1834 and served the Confederacy during the Civil War until it surrendered in 1864. The fort was occupied...
After months of planning, it’s time for our second snowbird adventure! Our first adventure took us to North Carolina back in 2022; now, two years later, we’re headed a bit further south, to Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. It’s a six-week trip, timed to hopefully miss lots...
Monday morning, we ventured out for our final camping trip of the 2023 season! We headed about four hours north of us, to Door County in Northeast Wisconsin. If you’re not familiar, Door County makes up the peninsula that is sometimes called “Wisconsin’s thumb”. It’s bordered on the west...
Thursday was a shorter day as we drove into Ann Arbor to visit the Gerald Ford Presidential Library. In all other instances, the Presidential Library and Museum are co-located, but Ford’s is a bit different; his library is at his alma mater, the University of Michigan. His museum is...
After a five-week hiatus, we’re on the road again for our longest duration trip yet in RoVer Too – 10 days! During our break, we decided to have some work done to the trailer – a suspension upgrade that helps reduce the “bounce” when we’re driving. We had been...
Just a couple closing thoughts on Taliesen…we’re really glad we saw it, since it’s such an important piece of FLW history, but overall, the house is poorly constructed (his students built a lot of it, and plywood was often the material of choice) and not in the best shape...
This week’s travels take us north into Wisconsin, about 200 miles from home. We’re in Southwest Wisconsin, in a small town called Spring Green. We’re staying at the Wisconsin Riverside Resort on the north shore of the Wisconsin River. We’ve been to Eastern WI before, but not to this...
