Unbelievable!! I suppose Labor Day weekend a lot of people were escaping the heat and humidity in this great Museum.
Road Trip Dream Authors - Week 13

You know you are in Car Country when all the names around you are things like Pontiac, Mi, Cadillac, Mi, Plymouth, Mi, Edsel Bv., Packard Parkway, and on and on.... So we have to see at least a token sample of this heritage...
Road Trip Dream Authors - Week 12

One thing we have noticed all through the Midwest is how tidy the cities and towns are. Whether the neighborhood is working class, middle class, or upper class -- they are all impeccably maintained.
Road Trip Dream Authors - Week 11

The Novato RV Park had been recommended to us by a couple in Grants Pass (the networking amongst the RV'ers is unbelievable). We weren't impressed at first because of the all gravel and concrete spaces, and the proximity to the freeway.

Cattails! Can you say Cattails! I've never seen so many in my life! They are everywhere - around every lake, by every road, -- it should be their state flower!
Road Trip Dream Authors - Week 9
Thursday, May 31 2007 @ 08:44 PM EDT
It is Sunday night - thought we'd get a bite to eat since we got in here late -- NOTHING is open!! And grocery stores -- forget it -- I don't think they have anything but mini marts!! Finally found a decent sized store, and had beans and weinnies (John Morrell of course) at the campground!

The Capitol Building is gorgeous -- all inlaid Italian crafted Terrazzo floors. Beautiful woods, and murals that are splendid. The place is totally unattended (it's Saturday) and they let you wander everywhere. Phil even sat in the Speaker of the House's Chair - wish I had the camera!
Road Trip Dream Authors - Week 7
Thursday, May 24 2007 @ 08:24 PM EDT
We backtracked today to Gillette to take in the Good Sam Great North American RV Rally. Over 6,000 Motorhomes, plus an equal number of 5th wheels, trailers, etc. We are going to get day tickets Tuesday, and check out the scene.
Road Trip Dream Authors - Week 6
Monday, May 21 2007 @ 08:19 PM EDT
Our lack of planning almost caught up with us here. After finding our first 3 choices "full", we got the last space at the KOA in Teton Village! It caused us to go "YIKES" -

Salt Lake City is, (to borrow a phrase from Cathy Bowles), like a city "with its hair on fire"! Every road is torn up, signs make little sense, every block is under construction, and the locals are very weary of the confusion --
Road Trip Dream Authors - Week 4

Now THIS is a News Flash! I actually saw Phil get into the dirty clothes bag, remove something, and put it back on his body! Can you believe it! We may loosen him up yet...
Road Trip Dream Authors - Week 3
Sunday, May 13 2007 @ 07:55 PM EDT
How could one week go screaming by so quickly? A funny thing about this trip, we have been surrounded by wonderful friends for most of two solid weeks, now we will probably not see a soul we know for months!
Road Trip Dream Authors - Week 2

Going to a world class event of this type is never cheap. But was it worth it? It is an event we will never forget, and is one of those rare occasions in life, when you forget about the dollar and just, flat out, enjoy the experience. It may never come again. And, you know, in the end, it really didn't cost that much....
Road Trip Dream Authors - Week 1 & 2
Tuesday, May 08 2007 @ 07:40 PM EDT
Of course our first night is emblazoned on our memory - we were so nervous about finding a place, getting set up, and not looking too stupid! Of course, the setting on the Rogue River and the lovely park we chose with all the art work (see pictures), made it even more special. The owner promised to buy the champagne on our return trip a year from now! We may hold him to it!
Why Keep a Camping Journal?
Saturday, May 05 2007 @ 10:48 PM EDT
I try to write in my journal everyday, otherwise I forget important things. The best time for me is in the morning. Even then, I sometimes forget things we did yesterday. When we are doing a lot of traveling, I write as soon as we get on the highway. My navigator responsibilities usually get a break for a while.
