Day 8 – Sailing, sailing …! And then …!
We began our day today with a sail across Lake Michigan from Ludington, Michigan to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The sail was aboard the SS Badger, the last coal-fired steamship in service in the country. Although the crossing took four hours aboard the boat, it saved at least 8 hours of driving around Lake Michigan, including through…

Day 6 – Imlay City
We planned our route to include a visit with Stu and Deanna Davis. They live in a wonderful Victorian home in Imlay City, Michigan that they have lovingly restored over many years. It’s filled with all sorts of antique collections that are artfully arranged throughout the house. We enjoyed dinner with them at a local…

Day 5 – Niagara Falls
I’m one of those people who has lived a lifetime within a very reasonable drive of Niagara Falls, yet never got there to see it. My loss! Niagara Falls is a truly spectacular natural wonder. This is a great time of year to go see it, too. The summer crowds are gone, the weather is…

Day 7 – on and off the road
Since our first week started with a water heater malfunction, it was only fitting that it should end with one. We have been operating on cold water only since the second day of the trip. The weather was warm for the first few days, and there were plentiful hot showers at the campgrounds where we…

Day 4 – Deep doo-doo, or, the waste that could not escape

Day 3 – Finger Lakes
For several years, since we started traveling with Wanda1, we’ve been visiting the Finger Lakes area of New York in the fall. We’ve stayed at New York State parks on Cayuga and Seneca Lakes. This is beautiful farm country, with many Amish dairy farms, and many wineries. The area is known for its excellent cold-weather…

Day 2 – Seneca Falls
Slept late this morning – actually SLEPT until 6! And Des until after 7!! We were pretty tired last night, and then the wine tasting on top of the tiredness really knocked us for a loop. So we got a later-than-planned start on today’s travels. But no problem, we’re on vacation, so no deadlines to…

Day 1, Fultonville, NY
Left later than planned today. Hot water heater had an issue and we needed to get it fixed before we got underway. Today’s trip was pleasant. The car handled its assignment well, the weather was sunny and crisp, traffic was steady but not slow. We were excited to finally be on the road! We stayed…
