After Michigan, it was off to Wisconsin, where we had a great campsite with a view of the lake at the Neshonoc Lakeside Camping Resort. Of course, we went in search of cheese! I haven’t decided which is better, Vermont Cheese or Wisconsin cheese. Do you have an opinion?
Next up was a night in Minnesota. This state has one of the best welcome signs of the many states we have been in.
In Iowa, our campsite in Legends State park was very nice. It was way out in the country, so internet was a bit of a challenge!
Iowa was another trip down memory lane. We owned a house in the Ames area where Ed lived for a short stint, so we checked out our old house and some of the places that we used to go when he was living there.
In Nebraska, we had another great campsite at Victorian Acres Campground in Nebraska City.
As their welcome sign says, this is the home of Arbor Farms and where Arbor day began. From the Arborday.org website we learn that ‘J. Sterling Morton, a resident of Nebraska City, had an enthusiasm for trees and advocated strongly for individuals and civic groups to plant them. Once he became secretary of the Nebraska Territory, he further spread his message of the value of trees. And on January 4, 1872, Morton first proposed a tree planting holiday to be called βArbor Dayβ’ Nebraska was the first state to celebrate Arbor Day, but now all 50 states partake in the annual event.
In Kansas, I saw a beautiful sunrise and we found a huge dog park for Cole to run around in.
On our way across Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas, we saw plenty of these!
We were doing a lot of driving, so Cole wanted Ed to know that he was ready to take over if he needed a rest.
We are off for more adventures. See you in the next post!
All your pictures look beautiful. Glad you were able to find a nice dog park! Rupert dog park open Monday after being closed for a month. New grass, but still holes!
Enjoy every mile you 3 drive! Glad to see Cole could help out! I guess he thought if he was in the driver’s seat you wouldn’t leave him somewhere!
Miss you and Cole! Safe travels!πΎπππ
After we left Wyoming, we had several more National Parks on our list.
Next up was Rocky Mountain National park in Colorado. We stayed just outside of the park so we had some beautiful views. As we traveled on the park roads, we saw this guy.
What was even more amazing was later that evening, we saw this, in our campground just steps from Dash.
