Summer 2026 - Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan

 As spring draws to a close, we're on the road up north.  Our first stop back in May was at Bauer upholstery in Dubuque, IA.  We bought a new theater seat and had the couch and captain's chairs rebuilt.  It looks great.  Next, we headed to friends Craig and Mary's in Spread Eagle, WI.  Next, we swung out to Door County for a week at a really nice spot in Egg Harbor.  After that, we parked at Don and Chrissie's in Marquette.  Then, we stopped for a quick visit in Grand Rapids to visit Joel and Tania, friends from when I was stationed in Tampa.    We're currently on South Bass Island, OH, so I gotta post some pictures and get caught up.

Bauer Upholstery.  They got the entire job done in a day, even had a 50 amp electrical connection!

Next stop, Rockford IL for a relaxing 2 weeks at Sugar Shores campground.

Snug as a bug in Spread Eagle.  Craig and Mary store their rig in the barn and
have a great parking area for guest RVers.

The Superior Bowl in Marquette.  Those are wood beams, pretty epic.
