Up the U.P.

The U.P., short for the Upper Peninsula, in case you are unfamiliar with the area, is the northern most stretch of Michigan.  Wisconsin forms the southwest border of the Peninsula, the rest of it is surrounded by Great Lakes. Superior

Mountain Laurel

Lobstah Dinners and Other Summer Fun

There is nothing like New England seafood. Haddock, steamers, scallops and lobster have become a staple of our New Hampshire diet. As soon as we get down to Portland we’ll add fresh swordfish to that list. (for some reason we

Cana Isl. Light

Door County, Wisconsin: lighthouses, cherries and cheese

Think Green Bay and what comes to mind? The Packers? Cold, snow filled sunday afternoon football?  Certainly not an idyllic body of water, cute towns and harbors, cherry pie and pastoral farmland. We were on the start of our tour

Road Oddities

Traveling the back roads in the RV we have seen some odd sights. There’s no accounting for peoples taste when it comes to  how they dress, or the color they paint their home, or the items they choose to “decorate”

Close up of Arethusa Falls

Not Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

Looking up at Frankenstein Cliff towering 1000 feet above us thoughts of Mary Shelley came to mind. The scarred face of the granite wall, the block shape, all reminiscent of the monster’s forehead. I could see where it got its

Living the viking life style

Discovering America in Newfoundland

Let me start with a caveat. You can’t credit Columbus, or anyone else, with “discovering” America when he encountered millions of indigenous people already living here. (and then generously introduced them to all sorts of germs and diseases that just

A Jumper

Catch of the Day, Broad Bay, New Hampshire

Not a photo catch, well, yes that too. I mean a real catch, the elusive small mouth, the one that hubby is out there seeking every morning. This is his passion. This is why we are here in New Hampshire.

Reversing Falls

Fun at Fundy, in search of the 50 foot Tide

From the wilds of Maine we head the motorhome east, across the border into New Brunswick, Canada. We heard the surf was up in the Bay of Fundy. Talk about extreme tides, each day the Bay of Fundy sees billions of  tons of seawater flow

The Maine Wilderness – Can you go home again?

Have you ever gone back to the old neighborhood you grew up in? Or that vacation spot you loved when you were a teen?  If you have, you might understand my trepidation when hubby decided, since we were in Maine
