We are having dinner at BarkCamp State Park, Ohio, which we arrived at earlier today. Suddenly, i notice from the picnic table a problem with the RV suspension. The bolt that attaches the right side rear axle leaf spring to the frame bracket behind the axle is missing! So we are not moving until that… Continue reading Broken suspension… things could have been bad…

7 mile canoe ride
Wen are used to “lazy rivers” being concrete manmade structures. However, in our case, it was simply a natural river that had good flow. We were in Loudonville, OH, and our canoe trip was on the Mohican River. Quite frankly we had to do very little padding, and it was mostly a matter of just… Continue reading 7 mile canoe ride

Off we go to the great lakes area
Today’s goal was to finish packing and leave. So our first stop was relatively close – near Hershey PA. It’s fair to see that we very rarely have a sit-down meal while we travel. However, since we had minimal driving to do, and we were hungry, we actually stopped. That was nice. We still got… Continue reading Off we go to the great lakes area
