Day 8 – Copper Harbor, Michigan to Paradise, Michigan

It was a journey through time - in more ways than one. As our travel day progressed - we stepped back in time into the early 1900’s at Keweenaw National Historical Park and learned about some of the challenges in the Upper Peninsula during the Great Depression. We also stepped back in time to 1995Continue reading "Day 8 – Copper Harbor, Michigan to Paradise, Michigan"

Day 3 – Medora, North Dakota to Fargo, North Dakota

My trusty alarm woke me up promptly this morning at 5:50 a.m. to a brisk morning in beautiful Medora, North Dakota.

Could it also be that Aurora is enjoying her time with me so muchContinue reading "Day 3 – Medora, North Dakota to Fargo, North Dakota"

Day 2 – Butte, MT to Medora, ND

This morning - Alexa did not wake me up in Butte - but Aurora did. I think another dog walked by the campsite around 6 a.m. - so I was awakened this morning with a dog barking instead of the soothing sounds of Amazon Alexa. After a breakfast of a bagel, yogurt and fruit (andContinue reading "Day 2 – Butte, MT to Medora, ND"
