That’s hilarious that you watched Fargo on the anniversary of its release. When we rented it (the first time), I thought it was supposed to be a “family feel good” movie. Oops.

If I’m not mistaken, Fargo was mostly filmed in the Brainerd-lakes and north region of MN, up by my cabin. Enjoy travels. Are you headed up toward Royalton next? TT.

Thanks for including the link to the church you went to. Looks like it was a great service. I agree, very similar to our church here in SWFL. <><

You guys look like you’re having a blast. Loved seeing the clothes on the clothesline, June. Too humid here to do that. I miss that.

Ok the day started off okay until the step got whacked….
We managed to see some impressive scenery anyway. Fred’s ingenuity prevailed and he got the step in to working condition. When it rains it pours sometimes.

What a great update. Sounds like the trip of a lifetime. How is the close quarter living coming along? Any arguments yet? Or, Fred, do you just assume that June is always right? (Which, of course, she is)

All the van issues seem to be trivial/fixable so far, we have been lucky. I was not surprised the whales weren’t there. We haven’t seen any of the expected wild life (bear, elk, rattle snakes, etc.). I’m glad we saw the elephant seals and all the farm animals last night: donkey, sheep, cows, geese and of course the peacock. :)

More good than bad. I was very impressed they cleared the slide so quickly. I was dreading going back out that road but at least we didn’t have to worry about on coming traffic. We made it back out to the Redwood forest and got two hikes in. The trees are so impressive you want to take pics of them all. The Jedediah campground was very nice but we didn’t take advantage because of the rain.

Can't say I read "every word", but I am following and enjoying the blog. Good luck with the exit from the campsite and the repairs (i'm guessing there will be a good story in that too). That "Trail Log" is smaller than the Serenity and still a great story.

I can see where you are closing in on Monterey where I have spent some time. Beautiful drive ahead of you and Monterey is where Ernest Hemingway wrote some of his books. Being a golfer you Will probably pass Pebble Beach and is worth a look. There was a large aquarium in Monterey, near Cannery Row which may be of interest. Clint Eastwood’s restaurant in Carmel, “Hogsbreath Inn”, was a go-to to spot in the 1980’s. Enjoy…..

Love the blog. Mean it. Actually, I do like the review. Fred and June - thank you very much for making the trouble to come visit. We had a great time.

It was a fun weekend; Randy and Sue are very generous. Good food and drink all weekend. We love catching up with family, our nieces and nephews especially.

We don’t get to see the Keatys often but they are always welcoming.

It was a fairly short driving day, thank goodness. Mike and Cheryl have a nice house and seem very happy. On to the next driveway :)

We slept pretty well considering the circumstances. It was a long travel day with crazy drivers. All is well that ends well.

So the key is, the next trip that you plan, plan your route with your accommodating Boondockers! It could be a fun, random adventure.

I mean, here the club Gateway, let you Boondock in their parking lot :-)

I bet you do, Fred Thanks to June. That being said, our house is all back in order, which is a good thing..

Tom, somehow I missed that section...but I seem to recall a section with the Vikings and Bills highlighting that they are tied for the the most appearances without a win in the Super Bowl.

Sorry you’re cleaning Liz. Get out your vacation pics and forget housework for awhile.

So, the Rock and Roll Museum might have been more interesting for me….but the Football HOF was good too. Dinner with friends was even better.

The museum was much bigger than I expected; Fred could have spent two days there……. I do like a CB and their level parking lots. We have met some Boondockers at our house that I’m sure would be very accommodating but they are never on our route.

How cool is it that you got to go into an Air Force One. Does it look like a mini apartment?

Sorry about your Boondocker experience. Seems like if you don’t have the personality to offer up your land for that, you shouldn’t be part of the group of hosts. I would give it a second chance. There have got to be people out there that are are just as gracious as you and June you just landed a bad apple that’s all.

Happy trails. Thanks for the updates!

In case you’re interested, it is 1:10 PM in the afternoon here in Southwest Florida and I’ve done nothing but cleaned our house. That’s where we are today on the fun factor.

My guess is you went to the football Hall of Fame because it might’ve seemed a little more interesting for you, Fred.

How often do you have to fill your propane?

Open invitation to you guys and the Fab Four …. Meet sometime in Southwest Florida, you are all welcome to stay at our house.

Thanks for the update updates. Be safe.

Enjoyed catching up with your trip and heard a lot about the museum at WP airbase. Sounds like you prepared well for the utilities upgrade for cold weather. Hope you don’t run into really bad stuff. All good here in Portgual and helping prune their olive orchard. Look forward to your posts. DB

Make sure to check out the section on the Viking’s Super Bowl highlights. I think it’s in a broom closet somewhere.

All in all a pretty quiet driving day; and the snow is gone! We haven’t filled the water tank yet so will eat inside…..easier.
