    Somebody Else’s Day Was Worse

    October 14, 2024 – Day 4 Liquid Spring, Lafayette, IN — Prophetstown State Park, Battle Ground, IN We dropped off the RV at the Liquid Spring for its 1,000 mile checkup. We asked where to have breakfast were told the South Side Diner was good. That recommendation was spot on, very good food. After the meal we asked the server “What we could do to kill an hour or two in Lafayette, on a Monday morning before 9:30?” She looked away, grimaced and sighed. “Not much” was the answer. But the look in her eyes said it all. She was probably evaluating her life choices. Then again, we told her…

    Day 1 Math is Easy

    October 11, 2024 — Day 1 Keene, NH — Woodland Farm Brewery, Utica, NY For this trip we’ll be less wordy, we’re trying to cut down on the amount of time blogging. Don’t feel bad for us, we’re living the dream. And, we’re doing the blog for ourselves also. But it does take a lot of time. So the format will be changing some, more photos, less words. We got off to a late start, Paul’s friend Glenn came over in the morning to help debug the Jeep’s brakes, we got that working and headed out around 1:30pm. 8 days of meals, plus some extras. We’re planning on covering some ground…
