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.

Tonight we stayed at our FIRST… Continue reading FARGO – Our 1st County Park & THE Woodchipper
Branson, MO – “SIX”
The main strip of Branson looks a lot like that of Pigeon Forge with the Wax Museum, the Titanic, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, etc. We weren’t interested in any of that.

Sea Turtles, Inc & South Padre Island
We came to Isla Blanca RV Park on South Padre Island from Donna, Texas where we were supposed to spend two weeks at Victoria Palms Encore RV.

We hoped getting to the beach would make the… Continue reading Sea Turtles, Inc & South Padre Island
