2023.1016 I suppose it is like a pilgrimage for grey haired baby boomers to travel to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A trip back to sex and drugs and rock and roll of the 60’s and 70’s. Music, war, violent protests, hippies, Woodstock, flower power, forced bussing and race riots, black power, … Continue reading Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland, OH

2023.1013 Highly recommended by friends, and highly rated by Google and Trip Advisor, the Henry Ford Museum is a very well presented and maintained collection which highlights twentieth century advances in transportation, machinery, and living. I could have spent much more time studying the turn of the century steam engines, generators, road and farm … Continue reading The Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, MI

2023.1009 Indiana Dunes, once more With some extra time, we visited a few other sections of the Dunes, which is also a National Shore. The drive west past the US Steel property was interesting, a vast industrial site which still has limited signs of production. We did get a couple of walks in the … Continue reading Indiana Dunes, once more
2023.1009 Who has heard of the RV Hall of Fame? Not many I expect, but this relatively small H.O.F. is a hat tip to the origins and ground breakers of the Recreational Vehicle camper industry. Elkhart Indiana is considered to be the RV capital of the world. It is a center of RV, mobile … Continue reading RV Hall of Fame, Elkhart, Indiana
2023.1008 Setting up at a campsite at the Dunes, I can hear the waves to the north, do I really hear waves?? We are not at the ocean. This is Indiana Dunes, on the south shore of Lake Michigan. Wedged between two (or more) current or defunct steel plants on the shore is a … Continue reading Indiana Dunes
