On The Road Again!: Another bump in the Road!
http://greatlakesrvtour.blogspot.com/2013/07/another-bump-in-road.html
On The Road Again! Sunday, July 14, 2013. Another bump in the Road! Today we had a bump in the road. We got up very early so we could be on the road by 6:30am. On my final walk around inspection before leaving, I thought the tires on the right rear of the camper seemed to be riding a little low. I pulled out my tire gauge to check it, could not get it to register, assumed, the tire gauge was sticking and drove off. Above: Typical day in the RV. We also took note of the increased humidity. Folow along as ...

On The Road Again!: Back in the Saddle Again...
http://greatlakesrvtour.blogspot.com/2013/07/back-in-saddle-again.html
On The Road Again! Friday, July 5, 2013. Back in the Saddle Again. Both Alex and Daniel ratted today's ride a 10 out of 10! I think Alex wants a horse now too! I would put it at about an 8. 2 hours was a little long for me! Our ride was not a typical trail ride in that the horses did not follow one another so we were free to ride where and in the order we wanted and to trot the. Getting off the horse was a different challenge for me,. This evening we took a drive with the dog over to a very unique dog pa...

On The Road Again!: Snowball Fight in July!
http://greatlakesrvtour.blogspot.com/2013/07/snowball-fight-in-july.html
On The Road Again! Sunday, July 7, 2013. Snowball Fight in July! The mountains have been calling us since we arrived in Denver and today we answered their call. The plan was to rise early, head into the Rockies and be back to the campground by noon or 1pm. Well, we got it half right. We were out the door and on the road at 6:30am. In the mountains by 7:30! It was a spectacular drive! Once back in the car we were on the hunt for wildlife! The boys rated the trip up the mountain a big 9.5. Would ha...After...

On The Road Again!: America the Beautiful
http://greatlakesrvtour.blogspot.com/2013/07/america-beautiful.html
On The Road Again! Thursday, July 11, 2013. America the Beautiful . Above: top is Sammi at the summit of Pikes Peak, below that is the boys with a miner, bottom is Sammi at on overlook looking north east to the valley. Did I mention this area is considered a desert? So a nice man with a pickup truck drove them back to the campground, where the fire department were encouraging everyone to evacuate. Of course at the same time, the campground was telling everyone to stay put! All was good in the world again!

On The Road Again!: July 2013
http://greatlakesrvtour.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
On The Road Again! Monday, July 15, 2013. On the last night of our adventure we sat around a beautiful campfire, told stories about our highs and lows of our trip and had more S'mores. It was an amazing trip with the exception of a few bumps and the dog. But the highs from Mt. Evans, to horseback riding, to trains and zoos and of course today's zip line tour way outweigh the lows. After seeing some great wildlife we drove a short distance to a mining memorial park to see the bucket to Big Muskie! Today w...

On The Road Again!: June 2013
http://greatlakesrvtour.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
On The Road Again! Sunday, June 30, 2013. To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before! Today we said good bye to Indiana Dunes and continued our drive West. We had a long day of driving, covering more than 300 miles, but I also wanted to see something along the way other than just interstate. Getting off he highway and driving local roads in the country can be a fun experience and really show you places you would never see from the highway. More on that in a moment. Who I swear looked like Vulcans! Enjoyab...

On The Road Again! Tuesday, July 2, 2013. On The Great Platte River Road! From Omaha, Nebraska we continued our westward drive, picking up the Platte River and following the early settlers route along the Great Platte River Road. Above: Alex helping me navigate! Above: Alex with the Blacksmith and Daniel trying his hand at an old version of ring toss. Above: The boys after I locked them in jail! It's an impressive site. The museum tells the story from the earliest settlers of this area, to the great ...

On The Road Again!: All Together Now!
http://greatlakesrvtour.blogspot.com/2013/07/all-together-now.html
On The Road Again! Tuesday, July 9, 2013. Access to the Internet can be a real challenge when on the road, even with multiple ways to connect. Today we moved south just an hour to Colorado Springs and the resort Internet is spotty and we have virtually no cell signal, so this may be a short post with limited pictures at best. At a very early 5am Sammi joined up with us from her South Dakota mission trip. Missy went to the airport at 4 to get her! We are now all synced up for the rest of the trip. Folow a...

On The Road Again!: Kansas... Who knew!
http://greatlakesrvtour.blogspot.com/2013/07/kansas-who-knew.html
On The Road Again! Friday, July 12, 2013. Kansas. Who knew! Kansas. Who knew! We slept in comparatively speaking this morning, not hitting the road until 8:15am for our 400 mile drive to St. Louis. But we decided to take a number of detours anyway, after all, as Missy reminds me, what's the point in having an RV if we can't get off the Interstate and explore this country! From there we walked across the street to the Greyhound museum and hall of fame! Then on East again to Kansas City where we had to sto...
