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.

Time on the Water

Image
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.

Our Travels Begin (Wait, What?)

Image
 I thought it might interest some people to see where we've been.  Although this trip started at the end of June, I didn't start this record until this month, October.  So, below, behold where Behemoth spent June/July. We started  from our home of the last year, Madison, Alabama.  (OK, technically, we started from a nearby Cabela's parking lot)  Madison taught us alot about life; bloom where you're planted, don't be judging, have fun when fun is available, and not all post offices are at all competent.  Being planted in Alabama helped us immensely in starting this trip.  We found a well kept and well priced RV and tow vehicle: had we been in another, more comfortable state, we would have had to travel to find them.  But, here they were, almost next door. And yet, at the end of our lease, it was time for other lessons, other fun, and other places.  It was time to roam. Our first adventure was simple.  We headed north to our son's, ne...
