After spending a day in Hot Springs we packed up the trailer and moved to a new campground just outside that city since it would be a good jumping point for a quick trip across the reservation to Wounded Knee on our way to our midway return point.
Aside from the move the day was pretty relaxing and the campground was beautiful. We decided not to cook for lunch and instead check out a cool brew pub we passed on the way to the campground. That was interesting. The menu had many items crossed off the pages and the monitors on the wall that indicate what beers where available held very few choices. It turns out the place was closing down at the end of the week. :( The food was delicious though and the beers we tried were quite good and unique. I'd suggest trying the raspberry Jalapeno beer, but alas no chance for that any longer. They also had a cool gimmick where they could can a 32 oz of beer to take home with you a "crowler" if you will. I got two.
After that the day was pretty much just R&R and we sat outside and cooked some dinner on the grill.
Indian Taco - Fry bread with Taco fixin's
They offer(ed) beer "Pallets" for tasting. Very good!
A nice afternoon to smoke my pipe after a good meal!
Sorry for the long delay in updating here. There has been a lot going on and we are gearing up for even more activity over the next month. So what has been happening? Well, the fun never stops that is for sure. Work activities aside we have been doing a decent amount of work around the house, but you'd never know by looking at it. A few weeks back we had a tree fall on the house. Luckily, there was no Major damage, just some gutters that still need to be put back up and a couple of scratches, and dents. The only real damage luckily was to my awesome Weber grill. Poor guy had a wheel bent over that now needs replaced, but with the weight of a large tree on him it is impressive that he just has a tiny dent otherwise and works like brand new. I'm no product spokesman for Weber, but they make an excellent, tough grill that lasts. Can't say that about my last Sams Club grill that rusted out completely in 3 years despite only moderat...
We had a great two weeks in Michigan. It was nice to visit family and friends although extremely hectic since I only took 1 day off during the time. It seems we were constantly busy, going places to visit people, having people stop by, or driving. Still it was a good time. Plans from here? Well, we've decided to cancel our annual Gettysburg trip again. This time it seems that there is just too much to do in preparation to leave again for AZ, so we've decided to stick around. The Covid would limit what we can safely do too much for us to go this year. We will however, still be making our trip back to Michigan in October, immediately followed by our return trip to AZ! More to come as we get closer. Karen and her Mom chilling at camp Tyler We had a special visitor! Sunset behind us lights up the tops of the trees Puppy Tax. No it's not ours. My Buddy Shannon and his family just got this cutie. She's adorable.
Karen and I decided to forgo the trip to Gettysburg again this year. Last year it was the kitchen nightmare, this year it's timing. We couldn't work out the timing and logistics with work and things going on around the house to get ready for AZ. I'm kinda bummed, yet I'm excited at the same time because we are working on some things that may have a big impact on this blog in the future! We won't spill the beans, but we have some cool things planned for AZ and elsewhere this winter and maybe even a bigger announcement sometime next year! 2020 has been a disappointment to a almost everyone and especially to those that love to travel. It's encouraging to see the surge of new RV owners out there learning to love the lifestyle we've embraced. If you are new to RV camping Welcome! If not, remember to be patient and help out the new guys, you were in that boat before. Happy travels! Be Safe! Wear a Mask! Don't take candy f...
