BACK HOME!

We're HOME!! After 11 weeks, 4 days, and almost 14,000 miles, we're back home.
It was good to be back in Indiana!
Back in our own driveway
It was a spectacular trip, and we're so glad we did it! We'll have lots of great memories for many years--and over 5000 pictures to help remind us! While it's sad for our wonderful trip to end, it's also very nice to be back home!

Almost Home!

Wednesday morning we left Two Harbors, Minnesota, under sunshine and beautiful blue skies. Now that we're so close to home, we haven't been stopping for much sightseeing, but we did drive down to the shore of Lake Superior outside Two Harbors to enjoy the view.

We made it through Duluth and then into Wisconsin--back in the Midwest again! Wednesday was a pretty uneventful day of driving through Wisconsin, but we enjoyed the scenery--nice to be back in the Midwest and see corn and soy bean fields again! We camped in a city park in Wausau, Wisconsin, and again woke up Thursday morning to rain. I managed to get over to the shower and back before the storm really let loose . . . Ernie took advantage of the rain on the roof to get in some more good sleep, so I took a nap, too. The rain slowed us down, so we didn't get started as early as we intended, but we still made it to Sean and Diana's, where we picked up the camper almost three months ago. After picking up some things we left there and having a nice visit with Sean and Diana, we headed south again. We caught up to the storms just south of Rockford, so we decided to stop in Rockford for the night. Our last night on the road . . . at a hotel, since the camper was filled up with "stuff," and it was seriously storming again.

We should make it home sometime tomorrow!!
