The campground opens in two days and three people are registered to spend this weekend here, so today Mark and I started helping with cleaning in preparation for the beginning of the season. Continue reading
First day on the job

To Green Bay and back
Mark had an appointment in Green Bay yesterday so we made the nearly two hour trip there for the day. He had started fasting after 7:00 the previous night and his appointment wasn’t set till 12:30 so we were hoping he could have the lab work done early, but no such luck at this VA. By the time he finally got to eat it was about 2:30! At least we got some errands done before his appointment since we were in “the big city” so early. Continue reading
The church of The Old Rugged Cross
When Mark and I were researching churches in the area we found that there are not many in this tip of the peninsula, but Sturgeon Bay has both an LDS church and a Friends church. They both meet at 10:00 on Sunday morning, so since we’d been to Mark’s church last week, we went to the Friends Community Church this morning. Continue reading
Exploring our surroundings
Mark’s first order of business this morning was to unload his Harley from the back of the truck. I don’t believe I’ve ever talked about what goes into this process. Here’s the story in pictures: Continue reading
From Door County, WI
This afternoon we left Green Bay, WI and headed northeast up the peninsula that divides Green Bay (the actual bay) and Lake Michigan. Part way up the peninsula we entered Door County, a place we’ve been told is very popular, very beautiful, and has lots of things to see and do. Continue reading

While we wait…
We leave on Wednesday for Ellison Bay, but in the meantime we’ve been working on getting some things done. This weekend we ceased working for a bit and had some fun. Continue reading
From De Pere, WI
I’ve been remiss in writing since we left Minneapolis last week. When we first got to De Pere (just south west of Green Bay, WI) we had a couple deadlines hanging over our heads, and when we managed to get those done, there didn’t seem to be much to write about. Continue reading
From Minneapolis, MN
We arrived in Maple Grove, Minnesota where our KOA is and checked in on April 9th. We paid for our site and for a cabin a short distance from our site, got the key and a space heater for the cabin, turned the space heater and porch light on, and locked the door. The cabin is for my son, Jamey, who was just finishing up a work conference at the University of Minnesota. He had spent the two nights of his conference in a hotel, so he called us when it was over and we went to pick him up. Continue reading
Nauvoo, IL
OK, so here is a little LDS history: Joseph Smith first brought his followers to a swampy bend in the Mississippi River and named the area Nauvoo, a Hebrew word meaning “the beautiful location”. They drained the swamp and began building a well planned town, the second largest in the west at the time. Chicago was the largest. Continue reading
