The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Lake Minden RV Resort in Nicolaus, California. I’m scheduled to depart here May 9th.

 

 

 

Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.

  In 2011-2013, Mary and I did a 682 day, 12,679 miles in the motorhome and 8,000 miles in the Bronco, circumnavigation of the United States, which I called The Great Adventure. I called it so because other than my oldest granddaughter’s high school graduation in June in Connecticut, I didn’t know where we would be going or when we would be there!

So, unless I do something really different and unusual warranting a new blog entry, I’ll be posting entries from that trip.

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 35 miles from Glacier National Park to Kalispell, Montana.

 

We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.

 

After my morning walk, I grabbed my camera to get this pre-sunrise photo of Lake MacDonald…

We parked overnight at Elks Club #725 in Kalispell, Montana…

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

 

 

Both of the museums in Kalispell are closed on Sunday, so because of the short drive time yesterday, we rounded out our day by grocery shopping, cleaning the refrigerator, defrosting the freezer, computer work and reading.

 

 

Yesterday was a terrible weather day. 87 degrees…humidity still far to high. Today’s forecast 80 degrees with a couple of thunderstorms. YUCKITTY!

 

 

We’ll continue our westward travel later this morning.

 

 

Enjoying Elks Clubs is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

The motorhome is still parked at Elks Lodge #700 in Iron Mountain, Michigan.

 

 

The saga of our electrical connections problem from the motorhome to the Bronco continues. First thing yesterday morning we arrived at Scotty’s electrical repair shop. Tony, the owner, told us the best he could do was an appointment at 3:00 PM. Since he’s the only guy in the area that does this kind of work, we reluctantly agreed.

 

 

From there we went to the East G Street location where Mary lived at about age ten. She said although the house looks nothing like she remembers it, it most likely is the one in which her family lived…

 

 

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From there to grocery shopping…to gassing up the motorhome and filling up with fresh water…to doing laundry.

 

 

Then back to Scotty’s where he told me I had managed to wire both sides of the connection incorrectly. In an earlier Blog entry I’ve admitted, I’ve had no formal training in automotive electrics, plus without wiring diagrams or the proper test equipment…the odds were against me. Nonetheless, I thought I had been really careful taking the old assemblies apart and thought I put together the new assemblies in the same manner. Apparently not!

 

 

Having no other choice we left the Bronco and connector cable at Scotty’s. Tony told us that they might possibly be ready tomorrow (meaning today) afternoon or at the latest on Wednesday. Back we went in the motorhome with no Bronco attached to the Elks Club where we spent another night. So here we sit and wait. I expect we’ll do some more sight-seeing today while waiting for the repairs to be completed.

 

 

Yesterday was another horrendous weather day…96 degrees with high humidity. Another scorcher is forecast for today.. 88 degrees with a real feel of 102. At 5:00 AM this morning it was 75 degrees with 74% humidity. YUK!

 

 

Enjoying visiting places where you lived years ago is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the about 45 miles from Bark River to Iron Mountain, Michigan. Mary lived in this area at about the age of ten.

 

 

Along the way we stopped at the home of the world’s largest pasty. You can read all about this place by clicking this link… http://pastys.com/

 

 

Here are some of the photos that I took…

 

 

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They are big…

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s what they look like inside. Full of beef, potatoes and onion…

 

 

 

 

 

Seasoned lightly with salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ketchup are they are ready to be eaten…

 

 

 

 

 

In Iron Mountain the afternoon temperature hit 91 degrees…feel like 96. We found a shady spot to hide under for a couple of hours. We read while the air conditioner brought the 94 degrees inside the motorhome to a livable 80 degrees…

 

 

 

 

 

About 5:00 PM, We moved to Elks Lodge #700 which was closed, but we parked there for the night any ways…

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

 

 

Today we hope to get our motorhome to Bronco electrical problems resolved. Then visit a couple of old Mary’s haunts, do laundry, then move on down the road.

 

 

Another scorcher is forecast for today.. 92 degrees with a real feel of 102. At 4:00 AM it was 80 degrees with 64% humidity. YUK!

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 189 miles from Clarion, Pennsylvania to Norwalk, Ohio. Most of the trip was on Interstate Highway 80 which in Pennsylvania was undergoing a number of bridge repairs…

 

 

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A quick photo from a bridge…

 

 

 

 

 

Once in Ohio, Interstate Highway 80 became the Ohio Turnpike on which we drove 66 miles. The only differences from Pennsylvania was it became three lanes, there were fewer exits and we paid $10.75 for the privilege…

 

 

 

 

 

Leaving the Ohio Turnpike we traveled about 35 miles on Ohio Highway 20…

 

 

 

 

 

Where we arrived at Elks Lodge #730 in Norwalk, Ohio and parked for the night…

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the usual dinette photo…

 

 

Folks were friendly here and we enjoyed a nice evening meal.

 

 

At 5:30 AM this morning it was a cool 55 degrees. Delightful! We will continue our westerly travels later this morning.

 

 

Enjoying a friendly Elks Lodge is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

On October 27, 2012, I created a two-minute video titled America The Beautiful. The music America The Beautiful is by Christopher W. French. The photos, which I randomly selected, are from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia (not shown in that order)…are mine. Yup, That’s me standing in front of the Post Office in Luckenbach, Texas…Y’all!
