What next I had been in the doctor’s office with Dr Bartczak when the notification that I was positive for Covid came through. She stated that this would now change our discussion and she had a number of questions for me. We went briefly through my medical history on a checklist. Wondering if I had any of these conditions which included diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure etc. The only thing I could name was an irregular heartbeat. In order…
Today…November 2nd When you are on the road for months, you’re bound to need some kind of medical care for something. It’s hard to get through 6 months without “something.” Well, I got “something” within a month. 🙄 So, here I am, in Moab, Utah, sitting outside under an Urgent Care tent, waiting my turn. I came in a few minutes before it opened at 1:00 and started the registration process. There were others already waiting! Why am I here?…
On Way to Custer After my couple days and a final morning going through the outside backyard of Wall Drug, it was time to head out. I already shared the aftermath of the storm and the overturned RVs encountered on the way. Scary reminder of the force of nature. But the change in weather was immediate and the skies were clear and off I went. Well, the skies may be clear, but the road and winds were a constant challenge….
This post will employ many photos. If you’ve been here, you know Wall Drug is a very large complex, with many different stores and dining areas, and with many great pieces of art, sculpture and photographs mixed in. They are everywhere. And it costs nothing to get in and see it all! It is quite an idea to have Museum quality pieces scattered throughout and used as decorations. It introduces a lot of people to art and sculpture. 🤔 I…
Wall, South Dakota It felt like I had been driving against the Wind across South Dakota to Wall and it was really picking up. Rain and some serious snow were forecast. After I parked I saw that we were under 35 mile an hour wind warnings with gusts up to 60 mph! No high profile vehicles are to be on the roads during those times, because they will just get rolled over with a wind gust. You can’t predict it…
I woke up to a sunny day and a semi nestled next to me. I noticed the rest area bathrooms had electrical outlets, so I was able to use my straightening iron to get my hair into shape 👍 All South Dakota rest areas have cement frame teepees. So I had to get a picture there as well as their South Dakota sign. Then a quick breakfast and then on the road. I could not go through South Dakota without…
I’m not an early riser, so I left the Dresbach, Minnesota Rest Area just after 9:30 a.m. . And I touched down just west of Sioux Falls , South Dakota at a Rest Area near Salem, South Dakota. It was a long drive but it was a nice , almost relaxing drive. It’s not as flat as you would be led to believe. But that’s because when you have an RV you always have to adapt to climb the hills,…
When I first pull out from Wisconsin, it is usually a long way to where I want to make my first stop to camp and explore. I have found that the best way to travel is to spend the night either at a Rest Area or a Walmart. What is different from Wisconsin as you go west and further south, is that there are larger numbers of people traveling in RVs. So much so that it is not unusual to…
After much consideration, I decided to make another trip by RV. 😬 I’m calling this my RV’s Retirement Trip. . So… let’s see the West first, then South and then back home. 🤔 Pretty relaxed artinerary. You would think it would be easier to pack up and head out since I’m already living in the RV… In some ways it is, as you don’t have to haul in all your clothes and groceries etc…. But in other ways it’s not,…
Almost Home ! So I had one more stop to make, in the Chilton, Wisconsin area. I came this way, because there was a special camping site awaiting me. 😊 This site has a beautiful view of a marsh and a yard that has a magnolia tree in full blossom. It also offers three dogs, three baby pet rats, two rabbits, two gerbils, and two goldfish!! You are never without receiving attention from a dog or having the opportunity to…
