WE ARE HOME!!!
Hey everyone.... well, we made it to the house & are feeling truly blessed!!! I am not in a cast, the rig & truck are in one piece & Mike did a wonderful job with all the driving....
We both took thousands of pics, but I will need to get my eyes taken care of before I can tackle that project !!
The washing machine is on overdrive & Mike is already in the yard doing his thing!
We got unloaded & to dinner with Jacki & family.... we missed every one!!
We can only encourage everyone to get out & see this wonderful country... we praise the Lord that we have had the opportunity to do this... we have now been to all 49 states (Hawaii won't happen for Mike), 7 Canadian provinces, all 5 of the great lakes & over 40 of the National Parks & I've lost track of the state parks!
Not to mention all the quirky sights along the way....
Thanks to all who have followed the blog & our prayers you have enjoyed the pics!!
The Lord is Good!!!
Hugs & blessings, Mike and Dee
HEADING BACK
Hey everyone...prayers all are well...
We left Gettysburg & drove all day Sunday thru VA.... was a pretty drive & the gas was so much cheaper... we crossed the TN line & stayed at Rocky Top c g. Was my favorite of the whole trip...adult & shade & full hookup...
The next aftn after testing from the drive, we headed to the Trump rally in Johnson City... we waited in line for 4 hours & 50 people from the gate they closed the venue... there were thousands & thousands of people!! We met some really amazing people, young & old...
Mike was tall enough to get a pic of President Trump arriving in the Beast..
We got back to the rig in time to watch it on local tv... was a cool experience!!!
We got to see deer with 2 faun right next to us at the c.g. the next morn before we left. Even Purdie knew we were going home.... pretty views in the mtns at the NC welcome center....
Enjoy the pics,

GETTYSBURG PA NAT'L PARK
Hey everyone.... sure pray everyone is doing well... we have finally dried out...
We are at Gettysburg & have enjoyed the park immensely... we cannot say enough about the visitor center alone. Spent 4 hours with the cyclorama, museum & at the bookstore prepping for the auto tour.
We had a gorgeous day & started the tour early in the morning... this park has the most monuments anywhere, over 1000.
After learning so much at the V.C. it all made more sense... every student in the USA should come here & see what can happen in this country if we are divided!!!
So impressed with the respect shown by the park service for both sides... so clean and the whole town is filled with history!!!
Needless to say I made my step quota for the day as I ran all over taking over 500 pics... we had the audio tape going & just followed along... talked with guides & they are so knowledgeable...
We could not finish it all in one day... so exhausted & did General Puckett buffet for dinner, we earned it, lol...
This morning we did the National Cemetery & it was serene in the cool of the morning. The rest of the day we hit all the parts of the tour we had missed, it is spread out around the whole town...
Our campground gave us tickets for several museums in town, so did that in the aftn.. we are both beat tonight...
Tomorrow we head south... see how far we go... have called & made an eye appt so hopefully get some answers...
Prayers all are well & enjoy the pics... all of mine are on the camera... can't wait to see them on the computer...

PA COUNTRYSIDE
Hey everyone... prayers y'all are well...
We had a rest day at Bedford PA and waited out the rain... but we had to go out and explore... found Gravity Hill... this is a slight hill out in the toolywads!!! You put the truck in neutral & it goes up hill on its own!!! Forward or backward & got up to 10 mph... needless to say, Mike had a blast... I was pretty skeptical til I saw it happen... lots of laughs!!
We also explored 8 of the 14 covered bridges in the area... we seen a lot of back country & pretty area... everything
In PA is saturated, spongy wherever you walk... notice how hi the creeks are under the bridges.... scary!!
We also found a round barn! It was so cool & huge... had a farmers market in it so got some goodies...
We had a wonderful campsite, so rested.
Enjoy the pics...

FLIGHT 93
Hey everyone... well, we have been dodging rain for days & didn't know if we were going to see this, but had a break & got to see some of it...
If you dont have goose bumps after seeing this wonderful memorial, I'd be very surprised... this has been so wonderfully done... our pics don't do it justice due to weather & so many people.
The visitor center has great displays & the staff had so much info. I did not realize the plane went into the ground upside down & they found the black box 25 feet below ground level... the rock boulder at the end of the flight path is where the nose went in.... saddest thing ever... the new tower of voices will have 40 chimes (one for each victim) & is gorgeous...
We are in Bedford, PA for a couple days to rest & then on to Gettysburg...
Prayers all are well...
Hugs and blessings, Mike and Dee
CUYAHOGA NP
Hey everyone.... how are y'all doing? Good we hope... we are dodging the rain!
We travelled from NY thru PA & into Ohio.
The goal was Cuyahoga Nat'l Park... this is a drive thru park like the Smokies. We really enjoyed our day exploring...
The park was very busy with the tow.path from the Erie canal for hiking & biking...
We found all the falls, the covered bridge, the steam railroad which drew hundreds of people!! You would never know that 3 interstates run thru it & metro areas!
The hi-lite of Ohio was meeting up with friends from FL that we had not seen in years... such a fun evening!!
Enjoy the pics...
Hugs to all...

NIAGARA FALLS - AMERICAN
Hey everyone.... the weather was holding for us so the next day we did the American side of the falls during the day.
We went onto Goat island & really enjoyed going out to 3 sisters island from there & then onto Luna island...
Terrapin Point was really pretty as you are right next to horseshoe falls... we had Purdie with us & she gets so much attention....one guy was cute...
Loved getting all the pics, even the rainbow over the American falls...
Mike went down the Cave of the Winds & got some really cool pics from below... he definitely got WET !!! Purdie & I stayed up top & could see him below us...
After seeing everything there, we drove up the US side of the river & saw the Whirlpool from this side... the jet boats were having fun in the Rapids..
Were glad to get back to the rig & a great pizza to top off the day...
We are resting today & will move on to Ohio tomorrow. . A storm coming thru tonite ... too windy to be on the road...
Hope everyone is doing well... glad to hear from y'all.... enjoy the pics!
Hugs and blessings, Mike and Dee
