October 15 - 17, 2019 Surveyor, WV

This three hour drive became FIVE.  

We got so lost.  

The adventure is real.

This place is really pretty.  The spots are a little close for me

and the drive in was wild

Our wheels are still rolling

October 13-14, 2019 Marietta, OH

Wayne National Forest is part of the Appalachian foothills.

We spent two nights here.  It was beautiful.  

These are the views from the RV

Took a walk on this trail

 and found this

 Would not want to be here in the dark

 

 

This is Perl Totman he is a local carver. 

He works with ash trees that have been infected with the emerald ash borer.

This carving represents the first settlers that came to this area.

This carving was done by Gutzon Borglum.  He was famous for 

carving Mt. Rushmore

A view from the scenic overlook

Made a pit stop at the Warther Museum.  This man had a 

second grade education and was able to build a legacy by carving and 

making beautiful knives.

His wife's button collection

 This display was run by a sewing machine 

motor and one belt

I am almost caught up.  Just a couple more stops.

We are back on the road and our first stop was a Harvest Hosts winery.

 Vermilion Valley Vineyard was a beautiful stop.  They were having a clam and chicken bake that night.  We got there early enough to enjoy a glass or two of wine.

The first sign we seen said 2.5 miles to the road closure.   

I had 2.3 miles to go.  My bet says MY GPS was WRONG.  

Looking for the winery

We made it to Vermilion Valley and we had the perfect parking spot

One down One to go

Flippin the yard birds and there were some

big birds

I was told this pot was 100 years old

Early morning sun

Time to get the wheels rolling

September 13-14, 2019 Ludington, MI

It has been so long since my last post that I had to log back in to the blog page.

We arrived in Michigan with the rig on June 15th and we will head to Florida 

on October 12th.  

Bill is still on chemo and as of the last CT scan the cancer on his pancreas has not grown.  He is also in the top 40% of people who tolerate the chemo.  Thanks to lots of prayers and a man with a strong constitution, he has not been sick at all.  He was scheduled for three rounds of chemo a week but he has averaged two.  They wont do chemo if his platelets are below 100. 

We have also been busy with PT and OT appointments.  The VA is doing all they can to manage the nephropathy in his hands and feet.  He is really working hard.

We decided to take a trip to ludington and catch up with our camping group.  We opted to stay at The Ludington Inn a bed and breakfast.  The food and hospitably were wonderful.  The house is currently for sale due to the ailing health of the owners.

 

 

 

 

 

 We hope you are all doing well and enjoying your summer!
