On our way to New York City, about a 6 ½ hour trip. As we like to do we took the scenic route avoiding the interstate and tolls as much as we could. From Cranberry Lake we took State Hwy 3 east to Tupper Lake then State Hwy 30 south to Long Lake where we […]
After working on the blog in the morning we decided to take a drive south toward Blue Mountain Lake. It was a nice drive and we encountered a number of lakes, big and small. After we left Tupper Lake we came upon a police roadblock. We stopped and were let through without any hassles but […]
After coffee, showers and relaxing a bit it was laundry day. There is a laundromat in Cranberry Lake so we loaded up Slinky and headed for town. The laundromat was small as were the washing machines so we were there for a couple of hours. While we were at the laundromat Diane was talking to […]
It had rained during the night and was still at it when we left Buffalo and headed to the REI in Rochester to get a couple of things. After we told one of the employees in REI about or trip and next destinations he told us not to miss the Alchemist Brewery in Stowe, Vermont. […]
It was raining when we left our campsite to drive through downtown Toronto, we knew it would be slow going to Niagara Falls and it was. We arrived and parked on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls at about 11:30. The wind was blowing pretty hard and it was raining a bit as well. We […]

We immediately drove to the train station, tucked Slinky into her bed in the van and bought round trip tickets into downtown […]
We woke up to winds coming off of Lake Huron. I don’t know for sure but I would think easterly winds would be unusual. The surf was up and the sun was coming up which made for a couple of good photos. We packed up the van and headed for Sault Ste. Marie and Canada […]
Leaving L’Anse we were on our way to the Mackinac Bridge. Our drives all through the Upper Peninsula were beautiful. Whether we were on the coast of Lake Superior or driving through state parks, National Forests or private forests it was very scenic. Today was no different. The Mackinac Bridge opened in 1957 and the […]
This day was devoted to the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. This is one of the places that we were told by Josh and Carol’s friends not to miss. We started off with the Presque River Falls that are made up of 3 separate falls, the Nawadaha Falls, the Manido Falls and the Manabezho Falls. […]
We got up had coffee and made our way to Amicon Falls. The falls were in the state park and just around the corner from our campsite. The Amicon Falls consist of two very close together falls. The falls were nice and hardly anybody was there but we were surprised by the color of the […]
