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...
We spent Thursday afternoon (Feb 8th) in Montgomery. Our first stop was The Legacy Museum. It is an incredible place, with four sections tracing America’s legacy of Enslavement, Racial Terror, Segregation, and Mass Incarceration. I can’t easily put into words the flood of emotions as we read and watched...
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...
Wednesday morning started out a bit disappointing; we headed to nearby “Route 66 State Park” to learn more about The Mother Road…but when we arrived, the sign on the visitor’s center door said they were closed for repairs. Oh well…I’m just glad it was only about a 10-minute drive...
On Monday, we headed out for our longest trip yet in RoVer Too…4.5 hours southwest to St. Louis, Missouri. And, of course, 4.5 hours on Google Maps equals about six hours in RV time, between slower speeds and rest breaks…so we always “round up” on the quoted time! Our...
