On to Duluth
September 15, 2025 Low 57 degrees, high 73, sunny! Finland State Park Campground was a great place to stay, peaceful, quiet, pretty. At first national forest and state forests, make me a little nervous. They are remote, and you don’t know what crowd will frequent them. This one couldn’t have been better. It is well…

The Bushpilot Museum
The #1 TripAdvisor recommendation of things to do in Sault Ste. Marie is the Bushpilot Museum. I love this place, although it has changed with more emphasis on fighting fires, which is no doubt a huge issue today. The museum as we saw it 12 years ago, focused on individuals exploring Canada after the invention…

The Boardwalk, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
Sunday, August 10, 2025 After four days of driving, we wanted to get out and walk. #2 on the things to do in Sault Ste Marie is the Boardwalk along St. Mary’s River that connects Lake Superior to Lake Huron. It is a busy area for Great Lakes shipping both with loading and unloading as…

Abilene, Kansas
Saturday/Sunday, September 10/11, 2022 It was a very pleasant drive on I70 from Oakley to Abilene. At first it was very dry in Colorado, then turned to irrigated to pretty lush, green, huge farms and a lot of sorghum in Kansas. It was cloudy all day with no rain until we were an hour from…

US Olympic and Paralympic Hall of Fame
Thursday, September 8, 2022 Colorado Springs has an Olympic Training Center, which would have been a lot of fun to see, but we couldn’t go. We did go to the Hall of Fame though, and it was very cool. It’s a museum also, so there are lots of pictures and stories of famous athletes. Like…

September 7, 2022 The ProRodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs is dedicated to professional rodeo riders, livestock, equipment, clowns and events. Opened in 1979, it has historical exhibits, stories of over 300 inductees and displays of saddles, ropes, lariats and outfits. I learned that lariat comes from the Spanish, La reata or lasso. It…

US Air Force Academy
Wednesday, September 7, 2022 It was a beautiful morning at Cheyenne Mountain State park as the sun rose over Colorado Springs. Cheyenne Mountain has quite a story. Deep within the granite is a NORAD site built during the cold war. The Broadmoor has a resort up there and a zoo. An antenna farm sits on…

Garden of The Gods & Pike’s Peak
Tuesday, September 6, 2022 It is about a 5.5 hour drive from Durango to Colorado Springs, which is northeast of Durango. It takes us about an hour or so longer by the time we stop for lunch, gas and whatever else happens. Pulling the Airstream makes us a little slower, but not that much. We…
