A Week in the Life

 


We spent a week at Brown County State Park, near Bloomington, Indiana. John’s parents live in the area, and we had a good visit. We also did some hiking, and just plain living. Back on the road again today.

Today's post will be short, although the living needed to develop it was not. Or something. We are in northern Mississippi, this week, enjoying decent weather.  Although it rained nonstop yesterday morning, and last night, today it is clear, sunny, and 62degrees.  We started this adventure looking for 70degrees or more, but have realized the 60s are really nice.  We can wear hoodies, and have a campfire.  Also,  the RV heats up about 10 degrees each day, so the 70s means its 75-85 degrees inside, and that's just too hot. So, yesterday, I walked over to introduce myself to the campground receptionist.  This is one of those people you want to be on good terms with in a campground.  If you don't come out of your RV for a day or more, you want someone to miss you and come looking for you, right?  We had a good long conversation about the weather, our travels, coffeshops, (and why neither of us likes Starbucks anymore) and our next destination. To whic...

Time on the Water

We camped several nights at Tahquamenon Falls.  (Look it up.  It's a place.)  While there, we decided to rent kayaks, and a canoe.  Jay and Kris had joined us. The water was clear on the river.  I tried to show you some fish here.  I tried.   It was a gorgeous day, cool and sunny.  Perfect for being out on the river. Jay and Kris in the double kayak, young John in the single. Zoom in on his grin.  He was born to do this. Molly also joined us.  This was just before she started trying to jump in.  It was worrisome, until John figured out that she wasn't trying to jump in, but to drink some water!  Good dog owners that we are, it slipped our minds to water the dog.  We pulled over, and did just that. And, off again! We have talked and talked about buying kayaks.  It's problematic, because we have nowhere to carry them.  It's not recommended on a soft top Jeep, and, although we tried, we haven't been able to fin...

Finally!

We have been near New Orleans for about a week.  Because this is a new area for us, we've been out and about. Google, for whatever reason, is not allowing me to post from my phone.  Rather, not allowing me to post photos directly from my phone. I'll be around this afternoon, with a REAL post. Although, REAL is relative.  Last Sunday, when we checked into this park, on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Coast Guard helicopters were circling.  A man had borrowed his friend's boat to go fishing, and the boat was found, early Sunday morning, empty and floating under the Causeway.  They were searching for him.  The search was suspended Monday evening.
