We are Kenny and Ginny. We call Northeast Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula home during the summer months. Together, we enjoy recreational boating on the Oconto River and the Bay of Green Bay and camping in the cooler northern states. When the boating season is over, we become snowbirds and head south for the winter with our luxury DRV Moble Suites 5th-wheel trailer that we call Château de Sallé.

I bought the Château de Sallé in July 2018 with my late wife Nancy after our Monaco Windsor motorhome, OWFISH, was totaled in an accident.

On the road again. Today we headed towards Joplin, MO first making a side-trip stop at the Meramec Caverns. The caverns are well know as Jesse James' hideout.

St. Louis, MO

We were up and on the road by 7:30 this morning. Today we only traveled 200 miles before stopping for the night so that we could tour the Gateway Arch here in St. Louis.

Winter Trip

Nancy and I are finely on the road again on our winter trip south for the winter. We left Oconto around 8:30 this morning and made it to our first stop where we pulled into a truck stop in Minonk, IL around 4:00 this afternoon. I've been to this truck stop many times on my way through here. Tomorrow morning we'll head towards St, Louis. MO.

Cana Island Lighthouse

Today we got out of camp and out of the village of Egg Harbor and drove over to Bailey's Harbor and visited the Cana Island Lighthouse. Built in 1869, it's still an active lighthouse warning mariners of the shoal that lies just north of the entrance into Bailey's Harbor for the last 146 years.

Peninsula State Park

Our plans for today was to go to breakfast at Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant in Sister Bay with the family. It was 11:30 AM by the time we got there and then we had to wait an hour before we could get a table. Nancy and I usually have breakfast around 6:00 AM so we were both hungry by the time we were served. It was very crowded inside and the noise level was so loud that I couldn't hear Nancy taking to me while sitting right next to me. It's hell for me to go into a place like this because of my hearing disabilities even while wearing my hearing aids so I usually avoid them. But for Nancy I went in.

Afterward Nancy and I took a trip through Peninsula State Park on our way back to the campground.
