  • Happy New Year 2026

    Happy New Year to all of our family and wonderful friends! We are all settled for the winter in our Blueway RV home until April 1, then we will head back to Estes Park CO via an unknown route at this time. Don’t want to plan too far in advance as it seems just when…

  • End of Summer – Heading to Florida

    And with a snap of a finger – time to leave Estes Park East Portal. Summer is over; camping in the mountains is over – time to head out before the snow flies. And what a great summer indeed! Lots of happy campers, lots of kids (ever notice how little girls can scream?) and lots…

  • May-July

    It wasn’t hard to leave Blueway this year – not only was it time and we were one of the few “hanger on’rs” but we were anxious to get back to the mountains. . Travels Westward We had 3 weeks to wander around on our way around and for a change decided to take all…

  • Ty and Jane Great Adventure 6th Year

    December 15 – April 22 I like wintering in Florida – think Ty not so much but maybe only because it is too humid and there are no hills. But it isn’t always warm in the winter – a couple of times it went down to 49 degrees and people were walking around in their…

  • November turns into December

    2024 Comes to end After the fun filled ending to October at the Keenland Horse Races Ty and I meandered slowly south/eastward making our way to our winter habitat. Planned to make at least 3 stops to visit with the Ouellette side of family. Travel was extremely easy, lots of campgrounds to choose from and…

  • OCTOBER – Leisure and Stress and Horserace!

    Wisconsin Cheese, Family in Illinois, Indiana Dog Attack, and Kentucky Horserace/Bourbon Devils Lake State Park WI Friends Tom and Leslie told us about this spot – just a quicky to hike up this incredible trail that going up was all boulders. It was tough but the views were worth it..the whole point is to view…

  • September – On the Road Again

    Tom and Leslie Welbourn came out to visit with us in September – always so good to be with them; although we have not been neighbors going on 18 years it never ceases to amaze me that we can just pick up where we left off. And in the short time we managed to pack…

  • August

    The following is all from Ty this time – COLORADO “He climbed cathedral mountains he saw silver clouds below He saw everything as far as you can see” ……… Friends around the campfire everybody’s high.”                    John Denver “Rocky Mountain High” “Getting up is optional, getting down is mandatory.”                    Ed Viesturs “No Short Cut…

  • July Working, Playing, then Sadness

    First up – this is us…love it here and what we are doing! All the wildlife, which as it gets hotter is moving upward so the numbers of sightings have diminished, the scenery is beautiful, the hiking great and being a camp host is entertaining to say the least (plus it is pretty easy work).…

  • May and June

    Home Colorado! We were giddy like first graders going to school – full of anticipation of what was to await us. This is our first view from our campsite and our first visitor Many “camping spots” Before we could start the new Great Adventure, we had to get thru all the doctor appointments the first…

  • April – Eclipse bust, Table Rock rocks, and much more

    Leaving Blueway for what we thought was an 8-hour ride – tad bit long for us but Dana and Angie, these young kids, assured us it was easy. As the time wore on, they kept texting “just a little farther” well our GPS was not agreeing with them. We soldiered on for 11 hours; Ty…

  • Winter in Florida

    2024 Great Adventure started with us wintering at Blueway RV Resort in Ft. Myers Fl from November to April 4 and it was a blast! Where else can you see a Moonset and Sunset all on the same day! Here is proof! Now just how did we spend our days? Well, let me just say…

  • Merry Holidays – December

No shortages of activities for us to partake in this December (as you can see by the calendar) including a Christmas dinner for the park. And pickleball is in full swing, card games are just getting started. Ty…

  • October Wanderings

    Michigan was just too beautiful to leave, we don’t have any place special to go until October 15 when we have reservations at a campground near Washington DC, which made the decision to hang around pretty easy. Higgins Lake – Popular spot for us back in the days when we camped with the kids in…

  • September – Family, Friends, Sailing and Michigan

    I honestly thought that September would be a relaxing month for us since Ty and I were in so much motion in June, July and August. As I look back, didn’t happen although we were basically in one spot the entire month, we had a lot going on. And you know what? There is always…

  • August – Border Crossing

    We Begin the long journey to the states Poor Wanda with her broken leg, we hooked her up and began the trip to Michigan where Wanda will get her leg fixed and a few other things. So once hooked up to the truck, not going to unhook so first night we made it to Moncton…

  • July 22-31 Newfoundland the East Coast, Central, and West Coast

    Bid Adieu to Avalon and off we went: Ty and I and tent Mila (mobile outdoor living accommodations) to explore the rest of Newfoundland. Tent camping has its ups and downs. Ups: straining to think of some Downs: there are many many more. Eastern Coast Bonavista/Trinity – John Cabot landed here in 1497. Beautiful fishing…

  • July 1-11 Cape Breton

    Last part of trip with brother Will and bride Pam – this is year 11 that we have traveled together! The Island is bigger than expected and the claim to fame, Cabot Trail did not disappoint. We hit all the orange spots on the map, the guys just driving us girls around. Word of caution,…

  • Yarmouth Luneburg Halifax

    Yarmouth is the farthest west on NS that we can go and it is on the 10 best cities to visit in Nova Scotia. The town itself is an old typical fishing town, dependent on the tourist not so much; as it appears the town is just happy to be a fishing village. In the…

  • June 14-19 Northern Nova Scotia

    Loaded the rigs onto the Northumberland Ferry for a 75 minute ride to Nova Scotia northern coast. Back on the Fundy Bay. Pictou (pic-toe)  Headed straight for the campground to cook up Freddy and Franky. Problem is there a pot big enough to cook these boys in? My electric fry pan can hold 2 and…

  • June 9-13 Prince Edward Island

    Ride to PEI did not go without a hiccup – Will’s black tank handle broket that meant a stop out of the way to find a RV place. Then we all begin again; as we were flying down the highway some nice guy pulls along side of us waving and honking for us to pull…

  • Canada June 1-8 Great Adventure 2023

  • April – Begins the 2023 GA Travels

    We begin April with roof repairs to Wanda. Think I mentioned we went thru a hellacious hail storm back in Sept., then an acorn bombardment which did in the roof. So, we left it at Camping World for 10 days and headed to see friends… Don Pedro Island, around the Edgewater area is where Jerry…

  • March is Madness

    Well, Ty is at it again! Bumped his head on the kingpin so hard that it managed to ding him real good and thru his hat!!!! Skin glue really works well – am not taking that boy to urgent care again! I can’t be too harsh on Ty ’cause the real bad boy in this…
