Barry and I agreed it was not worth driving to Lake Maligne early this rainy morning. We slept in for a “normal” travel day. Today we headed back down the Icefields Parkway to Banff. Shortly after leaving Jasper—I got a bear Jackpot! it was a mama bear and her two young cubs in a big… Continue reading Oh, Canada! Icefields Parkway-Day3 – BEARS!

Oh, Canada! Icefields Parkway-Day2
June 26, 2025To start our day Barry and I repeated my walk along the river to Waterfowl Lake before we headed north for more of the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park-into Jasper National Park. When an animal suddenly appears and crosses the road, it can be treacherous for everyone. ONE lane each way, but… Continue reading Oh, Canada! Icefields Parkway-Day2
Oh, Canada! Icefields Parkway-Day 1
(Bow Lake) 6/25 – CHANGE OF PLANS Today we thought we would take it easy after our full day hiking yesterday. But looking at the weather forecast for the next couple of days, we decided to leave Lake Louise Campground a day early to get a jump on the Icefields Parkway. The popular campgrounds that… Continue reading Oh, Canada! Icefields Parkway-Day 1

Getting closer! 6/23/25We arrived at Lake Louise Hard-Top Trailer Campground for three nights. This was a “shared” site.

FARGO – Our 1st County Park & THE Woodchipper
We are loving the size of Sadie, our 2025 GRECH Strada Ion! We have been able to stay at more Harvest Hosts that are convenient along our route which were not as available when we had our Class A diesel pusher. And of course more parking lots are doable. Tonight we stayed at our FIRST… Continue reading FARGO – Our 1st County Park & THE Woodchipper
Minnesota – the Good, the Bad, & SeaLife
The Wisconsin Dells has gotten very touristy. There wasn’t any place we wanted to go. The KOA Holiday where were we staying just finished putting in a nice pickleball court. (Although – only one court.) Tonight it would “open”! We ended up playing with some 4.5-5.0 players that a KOA pickleball player/worker had invited for… Continue reading Minnesota – the Good, the Bad, & SeaLife
“No Kings” Protest + U.S. Secret War – Sheboygan, WI
Last night we stayed in Plymouth, Wisconsin at Plymouth Rock Campground. Our site was HORRIBLE. The campground was full for the Father’s Day weekend. Many sites looked decent, but the one we were assigned was impossible to get level –even for us! We even tried parking sideways, which was not easy. LOL, though the views… Continue reading “No Kings” Protest + U.S. Secret War – Sheboygan, WI

Chicago-The WINDY City
We arrived in Chicago on June 10 for three nights. Barry pre-paid for us to stay at McCormick Place – Parking Lot B, which was just a big parking lot for semis, their trailers, and RVs. It ended up being much better than I expected. In fact, WE had our own little “lawn” outside our… Continue reading Chicago-The WINDY City
