Dakota Gone Wild

Had some nice sightings today starting with gas for $3.39...sweet! Then on to the North Dakota Badlands where we saw wild horses with a frisky colt, jumpin' prairie dogs and lazy buffalo. Camping in Theodore Roosevelt National Park tonight on the Little Missouri River in the shade of cottonwood trees. Ahhhhh, feels great.

Twice is Nice

That makes it two perfect days in a row. Sunshine, puffy clouds, a visiting geese family, bike ride, SUP, a nap and spectacular sunset...couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you God "twice"!

Minnesota Twins Win!

A beautiful day for baseball at Target Field in Minneapolis. We bought great tickets from a scalper named "Frank the Bank". The good price made up the for huge parking fee for our rv! Overall, the ball park, game and twin cities get 2 thumbs up!

Lambeau Field, Cheddar, and Barns

From the home of the Green Bay Packers to Chippewa Falls we enjoyed our drive through picturesque countryside today. Applewood smoked meats and cheese from Nueske's were tasty treats for the driver and navigator. Yumo! An evening hike along Lake Wissota topped off a perfect day.

Sheboygan Style

The quaint beach town of Sheboygan, Wisconsin was a relaxing place to stop and slow down for a few days. It offers long empty beaches, sand dunes, and biking & hiking through the woods. Shopping at Piggly Wiggly Market and lunch at Gilly's Drive-in added to the small town atmosphere. The 50 degree water temp made it a bit undesirable for Tom to go surfing. However, the locals seemed to have no problem getting out even in winter. Brrrrr!

Wedding in Wisconsin

Our nephew, Will Turner married the beautiful Marissa Ebert in Genesse Depot, Wisconsin. As two families joined together everyone delighted in the reverent ceremony, fabulous dining and fun dancing. It was a great time for sisters, cousins and grand kids. Congratulations to Will and Marissa!

It's Miller Time

Our 90 year old tour guide, Lou, at Miller Park shared his love for baseball and was very informative about the ballpark. The park's massive movable roof and the view Bob Uecker's press box were memorable. Go Bernie!
