camping – Mal and Connie's Cross Canada Adventure 2.0

We did make it home!

Connie reminded me the other day that I failed to post a blog about the last two legs of our journey across the US and home. In case you are wondering, we did make it home on the 22nd of September. We left Livingston Montana in the rain and made our way through Idaho andContinue reading “We did make it home!”

Mackinaw City to Green Bay Wisconsin

Actually to Little Suamico, Wisconsin, which is about 20 kms north of Green Bay. Most of you would know of Green Bay for their NFL team the Packers and of course the famous cheeseheads worn by fans.

One could spend a lot of time in each but we are motivated to seeContinue reading “The Canadian Shield”
