It's Saturday morning and I've been up for a couple of hours. The Scottie and I did our morning walk and she growled at all the strange sounds from the woods to let them know she was there and in charge. The weather is cool and the sky is clear but, rain is coming later today. This will be a day of continued preparation for the trip and cleaning up a few undone tasks so that I can leave with a clear conscience.
Hard to believe that a week from now Ralph and Blue will be here and we will be getting ready to take Blue to the "Independence Day Parade"; Ralph, your job will be to control him so he doesn't try to give us back to the Pommies.
I've started checking the long range weather forecasts for Michigan and Minnesota and the day we leave should be decent (if you can trust long range forecasts, which I doubt). Temps are supposed to be in the 70's with overnight temps in the 60's. Black Fly season is supposed to end on July 4th but I don't trust the forecast either. I have plenty of bug spray and bug repellent for us so we should be ok with that.
Ralph I know you got us a place to camp in Marquette area; have you started exploring our Monday night stop in the Bemidji MN area or are you going to wait until we get to Marquette and assess what kind of mileage we will put on on Monday? No pressure just wondering how you're going to work all this.

ReplyDelete:<))))))))Let's see..how does that song go?...One day at a time, Sweet Jesus..one day at a time.
Our rate of progress determines much. With your laptop and the wonderful world of internet, we will make it happen.
Relax, Doc, sitback and enjoy the ride and the scenery. Blue will do the cooking and GPS will do the navigating.....now you can get concerned. :<)))))
I'm in the "Official Relaxed Mode". From now on it's "ride when it's light, eat when you're hungry and sleep when its dark".
ReplyDeleteYou see those photos Gentry's been posting? I can't wait to get there and experience that.
The scenery out there will amaze you every mile. That is why I enjoyed trucking so much. This country is a beautiful place wherever you go...wellll. not much beauty in New Jersey*_*
ReplyDeleteDoesn't New Jersey have some kind of scenic gorge?
ReplyDeleteJersey *is* a scenic gorge, except for the scenic part.
ReplyDeleteI was in the Corps with a guy from "Joisey," he said they call it the Garden State because that's where the Mafia buried their problems.
