We are excited to get back to the World War 1 Memorial and Museum this morning. The grounds are spectacular with the spire marking and memorializing the lives lost. Inside you are greeted by this giant glass floor with red poppies below, 9 thousand to be exact, one poppy for every thousand deaths, hard to […]
We are in a rush to get to Kansas City MO today as it is Friday and I need to get to the Kansas City 1st World War Museum before it closes to meet with Jonathan R. Casey, Director, Archives. If we do not make it will not have a chance to discuss the pictures […]

Back on the road heading home. The plan is to get as far south as we can before cutting across the USA hoping to miss any winter weather. On our departure from the Coachmen plant we see a sea of Class C Leprechauns. Our last stop is at one of the shops at the Coachmen […]
We are ready to head out this morning but decided since we are this close to Dearborn, we would stop by the Carhartt office, a company I worked for more than 30 years in Alaska. We did not call ahead to see if Mark Valade the CEO would be in, we were in hopes he […]
