Put In Bay, Ohio











































Yesterday we took a drive over to Catawba and parked the truck.  We grabbed our bikes and helmets and headed for Miller’s Ferry to Put In Bay.  Their website has a bunch of coupons so it was $37 round trip for two adults with bikes.  The ride to the island was a little over 20 minutes and was kind of choppy with a 4-6’ west swell.  

We got off on the island and biked our way to the main town. The first stop was the Perry Peace Memorial.  (The elevator to the observatory was closed for the season.)  It is an impressive structure and a tribute to the war of 1812.  A decisive battle was fought on Lake Erie between the US and British.  There are three officers from each side of the conflict buried under the monument.  There was also an informative movie in the visitor center.  

After the Perry Memorial, we continued to bike the island and parked by the marina to explore on foot.  We found a winery that had some great local wines, checked out a few shops and bikes to The Goat, Soup and Whiskey for lunch.  A local suggested the Perch tacos and they did not disappoint.  

After lunch we pedaled back into town and visited The Keys. We had a drink on the water and split a piece of Key Lime Pie.  It didn’t meet our Florida Keys standards but it was alright.  We then bike the other side of the island on the way back and came home to an empty campground.  It appears that summer is over.  We cleaned up, meal prepped and did some laundry.  We are headed for 5-6 days of Boondocking.

The End of 24’

 As 2024 comes to a close, we are in a cabin near Show Low AZ.  This area is beautiful at first glance and we will be here for a week.  It reminds us of Bend/Sisters, but it’s way smaller.  This is the first time Katy has been out of the RV since 12/1/20.  We are looking forward to exploring this area.  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year!   We took a trip up to Tucson and stayed at Catalina State Park.  It was a great trip and we enjoyed the lights at the botanical gardens.  The state park is great and really spread out.  We also had a seRV event with Full Time Families, where we made cards for the kids and families at Ronald McDonald House.  It was an amazing event and we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  The kids who participated were awesome, they helped us set up and tear down.   The next day we co-hosted another event in Sierra Vista.  We partnered with Wr...

North Again?

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.     2025 is starting off pretty big.     We had a great time in the Show Low, Pine Top and Lakeside area.     Katy and I stayed in a one room cabin with the pups and it was fun, but after a few days we missed having our own stuff and our bed.     The area is cool and we had fun exploring Greer which was like driving down to the Metolius.    We went up to the ski hill the same day.    There were 1 or 2 runs open of man made snow and about 400 cars worth of people sharing the hill.    Not our jam.    The Pinetop Brewing Co was a fun stop, they have great beers and good food.    Beer brewed at 7,000’.   We took a tour of Petrified Forest NP and really like it.    It is a mixture of Blue Basin, The Painted Hills and the Badlands with a spattering of Fossilized Trees.    It’s worth getting out and taking the short loops in the par...

Want to go to Skagway?

Friday we drove from Teslin Lake to Whitehorse Yukon.    We got on the road pretty early and were surprised to not see any wildlife along the way.    First stop was the laundromat.    Two XL washers and three dryers later and we were in business.    We met another full time couple doing laundry, who are traveling to Juneau for the summer.   Barry said they had a 5 hour ferry ride from Skagway to Juneau.    We then got to chatting about Skagway and the fact it was only two hours away.    I had been looking at it on maps but didn’t realize we were that close.    We parted ways and headed to Woodcutter’s Blanket Bar and Brewery for lunch.    Good beer…pass on the food.    While at the bar, I suggested we head to Skagway for a night or two as we will not have full hookups in Fairbanks until 5/4 ish.    I then talked myself out of it and Katy said let’s go for it.   We book...
