We're Home


We travelled 7 US States, 3 Canadian Proveniences, in 19 days, covering 4230 miles and having to replace 2 fuel filters & 2 RACOR filters on the bus and 1 fault breaker on the generator. Not a bad trip!
To see old friends were the highlights of our trip, we couldn’t see them all but we wish we could. There were several places we would have stayed longer if we had the time and I know someday we will return. Custer State Park deserves a week, as does Theodore Roosevelt NP, Nays Provincial Park at Marathon, Ontario, Canada and of course we will be back at Wawa next year.
As always we toted way to much gear; the flag pole was never erected, the canoe was never launched. The fishing gear never saw bait let alone a fish. The griddle never fried a pancake, nor did the charcoal grill see any kabobs. We brought home 3 weeks of dirty laundry, plenty of leftover frozen food & can goods.
So I guess the biggest surprise in all was we bought approximately 550 gallons of fuel on the trip and so you can do the math.
We bought no souvenirs, but we did pick clean and bring home nearly 10 pounds of mushroom; edible of course. Compliments go to our friend Zen of the High Falls Motel & Cabins in Wawa, Ontario. Zen & his wife Anna are Polish emigrants to Canada who has been our friends in Wawa for nearly 4 years, who taught us the art of picking, cleaning and preserving edible mushrooms. So if you’re ever in Wawa, Ontario you will need to stop by & see them, maybe even book one of their nice cabins for a night or two. They are wonderful hosts, and they can tell you places to go & things to see in that area of Ontario. High Falls Motel & CabinsWell it time to get to work, another auction on Tuesday, and several appraisals just waiting for my attention. Fran has a few houses to sell, and list and we both have bus choirs to tend to. Check back later to see where else we have been next.
