Near Atlantic City for a few days

We are at Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake park, a few miles from Atlantic City, NJ. There are lots of mosquitoes here and we have to spray every time we walk outside.

We drove to Atlantic City on Friday to see the casinos and on Saturday, spent some time with some new Greyhound friends who were having a Meet N Greet at a Petsmart in a town north of here.

The weather has been good and we are enjoying the area - first time for both of us to visit New Jersey.

Milton Hershey Museum

We visited the Hershey Museum downtown and it was very interesting. I recommend it to everyone.

Chocolate World is an amusement park and we didn't go there. We also didn't go to the $10 tasting - something both of us didn't need!!

We are near Hershey, PA

We are now near Hershey, PA at a nice Thousand Trails RV park. There are lots of Canadian Geese here. It has rained some and is very humid here; nice rolling hills and lots of agriculture in the area.






Gerald has hurt his back and we are taking it easy for a few days, but hope to do some sightseeing next week.

A Visit to the Erie Canal in Lockport NY

We drove over to Lockport NY and visited Locks 34 & 35. It was really interesting and we got to see them open and close twice for boats coming through.

Niagara Falls

Visiting the Henry Ford Museum

Today we went to the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit.

This is an Allegheny locomotive. It was huge!! and weighed 603 tons.




My highlight was seeing the Weinermobile! LOL

We're enjoying the cooler weather

It's so nice and much cooler here in Michigan.

This is a picture of Baron curling up in the 'coveted corner' at the foot of the bed to stay warm. There is always a contest to see whether Marquis or Baron gets to sleep in the corner at night.

We are in Michigan!

The Beaver Ambassador Club rally in Lima, OH was great. There were 68 motorhomes there and we got to see a lot of friends.


We are now in Michigan for a couple of weeks. Hope to do some sightseeing in the area.

On our way to Lima, OH

Well, we have left the ranch and are on our way to Lima, Ohio to the Beaver Ambassador Club rally. There should be about 70 motorhomes there and an opportunity to see old friends and make some new ones!

Back in Texas!

We are back in Texas for a couple of months. Texas is so beautiful in the Spring time!!

Moultrie GA, Music & Memories Lead-In Rally-BAC

The Music & Memories BAC Rally was a wonderful success. There were about 75 motorhomes and we had a great time visiting and enjoying the great food.

On our way across Texas

The last two nights were in Ft Worth and we got to see the kids and grandkids and spent the day at the Ft Worth Zoo. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time.

We are now in Gladewater TX for one night.

The Rolling Rally is on it's way!

The rally is going great. We had a nice night in Deming, NM and also in Fabens, TX. The steaks at Cattleman's Steakhouse were wonderful!

We are now in Midland, TX and will be in Ft Worth tomorrow.

It's hot in Casa Grande, AZ

We got to Casa Grande, AZ yesterday and turned on the A/C. It was in the 80's!!

We will only be here for a few days and then we are leading a 10 day caravan of 10 Beaver motorhomes from here to Moultrie, GA to a big rally we are having there.

Weather is great in Las Vegas

The weather has been wonderful here in Las Vegas. We are at Thousand Trails RV Park and enjoying the meal specials that many of the casinos have brought back.

I've been hitting the thrift shops, too, looking for those treasures we all love to collect!

It was a great rally!

Well, "Circle the Wagons Again" is over and it was a great rally. We had 53 motorhomes parked in a huge circle in the desert and enjoyed great breakfasts each morning, a super salad bar in the afternoon before dinner and a great time around the campfire each night.

Happy New Year and we are ready for 2009!

We left Midway for Dallas Dec 22 to visit with the grand kids for Christmas. We had a wonderful few days. This is a photo of us decorating Christmas cookies.



Then we left, heading towards California. Our first night was in Pecos, TX and then our next night was Deming NM. When we woke up, it was 12 degrees!!! This is the frost on the INSIDE of our window when I raised up the curtains!



Then, we made it to Quartzsite, AZ and spent a few hours visiting the Chamber of Commerce and a few stores to get ready for our big rally on Jan 13.

We are now in Palm Desert, CA until Jan 11, when we will head back to Quartzsite, AZ.
