June 14 - heading North West...

Woke up to 25 degrees at 7:00...another scorcher. Got an early start of 8:30 am......early for us these days....8 hour drive today. So hot here the freezer is having a hard time keeping the banana popsicles frozen!!

We only stopped when necessary for fuel and pit stops...too hot to do much else other  than drive. Decided with the heat and the need to put some miles behind us we took the interstate highways most of the way today. Not our favorite thing to do but now and again it has to be done. Hoping to give us a bit more time further north where it will hopefully be a bit cooler.

Landscape has changed back to farmland now.

Drove through St Louis, big city, lots of traffic, happy to make it through before rush hour traffic started. 


Today we left Tennessee, drove through the tip of Kentucky, into Illinois and then landed in Bowling Green Missouri... and this is what Lu did....she's a great little traveller.
Got into the $20 a night Passport America site ( thank gosh ...we spent enough in Nashville that we needed a cheap night). 

The A/C is working overtime....got here at 5:00 and the A/C finally cooled the RV and  turned off at 10:30 pm....and by 10:35....it was back on....

And to my great surprise...fireflies 💓Now that I have seen them in so many different places I am really starting to see the different blink patterns and colours of the different species of fireflies. 

I will never get tired of seeing them....fingers crossed wherever we end up tomorrow night... they will be there...

June 19 - Deadwood South Dakota to Bozeman, Montana

Left South Dakota this morning, through a part of Wyoming and into Montana. The scenery in this area is really gorgeous.  But before long the weather changed...storms up ahead and apparently through the night in Bozeman. Free night at the Walmart with about another 30  or so RV/camper vans......hoping for a quiet night...cold here tonight....used the furnace for the first time in a very long time on this trip...brrrr

Long time coming....

Image
 It's been a very very long 2 years waiting...patiently waiting.....for things to return to normal... We were set to embark on this same holiday in March 2020 when Covid changed everything for everyone. Now 2 years later, our travel furbaby has changed. We lost our beloved Gracie before we could enjoy another big trip with her.  She was an amazing traveller and we were so fortunate to have been able to make many memories with her over the 14 years of RV adventures! We loved every minute of it and miss her dearly. And then along came Lucy Lu. Oh the adventures she will have!

June 10 - Lazy day

Image
Today was a lazy day. As no cell service and wifi at the campground, I needed some down time to book some stuff. Found a great dog park and Lu made a new little friend... Like little....8 week old little pitti.... They had a great time and then back into town. Just like most towns outside of a National Park...there's a bear thing going on. We didn't stay long....little walking...late lunch and back to the trailer. George hitting the enormous candy store....$22.00 later.....omg Second night of firefly watching was even better than the first. We saw some Blue Ghost fireflies....the males stay lit for up to a minute and glow a soft blue colour...there are not many in this area as they are mostly in the Asheville forests so I was super excited to see them. On our way back I had a firefly on my hand for the longest time....he just kept walking and blinking and walking....💗 I never like to say that I won't see them again here in th...
