Thank goodness for McDonalds - it allows us to come in out of the backlands and meet with civilization again!  Right now we are in Ashland, WI headed for Copper Landing, MI.  Everything has been going just swimmingly - good roads, OK weather, great tail wind - super gas mileage!!  The trees are starting to turn color, but many of them are just brown and stressed as they are at home.  Once in a while, a splotch of red shows up in the middle of a bunch of trees, and that is just beautiful!

I think tonight is supposed to be clear, and folks have been seeing the Northern Lights, so we will make that attempt tonight!

Nothing exciting, like a moose or bear yet, but we are kind of in that country.  Last night, we were the only ones in a small campground, so it was really quiet -and we heard coyotes singing!  that was nice.

Until the next time - K & J

  1. You're getting mighty close to Finland west. While mingling with the Yoopers you'll have to have a pasty or maybe some lefse. Both were always on the menu amongst the folks there.

    1. I think pasties are on for today (9/23) or tomorrow. I know they sound good - better than whitefish soaked in brine! Are you home or out flying around the country?

      Love you,

  2. Ohhh, I want to see the northern lights... I've never seen them, and although I'm not much of a one for bucket lists, I want to see those before I'm dead. One of these days.

    1. We didn't get to see the lights, but have managed a couple of wonderful sunsets. At home, the mountains cut off the really pretty colors of a sunset, so it is nice to see. We may still have a chance at the lights.

      Love you both,
