DND Road Trippin'

Adventure with us as we travel the country in search of history, great scenery, mass quantities of wild life, disc golf courses, microbreweries, fun people and some awesome campgrounds to park our home on wheels. We also hope to do a lot of dispersed camping in the Southwest as well. There will be sunny days and there will be cloudy days but a day without laughter is a day wasted!! ROLL ON!!

Yoopers

 We took a couple days away from the camper and went to the upper pennisula of Michigan to hang out at a different shore!

We had a great time with Dick's cousin Glenn and his wife Cathy. They are Rockies so we were on a quest for rocks for Glenn to polish in his newish rock polisher.  1st we stopped in Petoskey.  We got a hotel and hit the beaches looking for Petoskey stones. I didn't know there was such a thing until I researched a bit before the trip.  I am sure that all the ones we found will shine up nice and pretty.  We also saw the famed Mushroom house. OH BOY was that exciting!! We hit the casino in the evening and didn't win a dam thing but had fun.




The next day we traveled to Grand Marais for more rock hunting.  This time for agate rocks.  I don't think I found any but time will tell.  Glenn took my collection that weighed about 20 lbs back to Wisconsin to pick through and shine.  If he sends me any shined ones back I will show you pictures of the beauties. I do beleive that Glenn and Cathys car will need a new suspension after hauling all the rocks they gathered.  There must have been over 100lbs of rocks!  I got over 17,000 steps this day exploring so very much of the Superior shore!!

Glenn rented a great cabin on the hill top near Grand Marais.  We spent two nights there exploring all the beautiful beaches, waterfalls, sunsets and even a disc golf course of course!!









There were some pretty awesome wave on our last evening when we went out to watch the sunset.  I took a picture of Dick and Glenn on the break wall the day before and then there is one of all the waves the last night just covering it.  They would have been sweapt out if they had gone on there last night. 

There are so many more pictures I would love to share but I know most of you probably have a job and can't spend all that much time looking at our fun.  Hope you enjoyed these!


We are back home safe and sound in our rolling home winding down from some busy but super fun days.  Any time we get to spend time with family while we are on the road, we feel so lucky!!
