Scranton, PA
Today we started driving south-ish. We are heading for Hampstead, North Carolina. We drove to Scranton, PA today. This is the birthplace of Sterling’s mom, Naomi Elizabeth Hess-Torrez! She was a wonderful person that I didn’t get to spend much time with, as she passed away just a few years after Sterling and I got…

Oswego, NY
I wrote this yesterday, June 17th, but didn’t have enough signal to post it. So here it is a day late! We got up this morning in Lewiston, just down river from Niagara Falls. We drove along the southern coast of Lake Ontario to Oswego. This is our goodbye to the Great Lakes. They have…

Niagara Falls!
This has been a place I was really looking forward to. I love being near natural bodies of water, especially rivers because they are so active. This is an active river! We parked our car and started walking on a path next to the Niagara River. I was shocked that there was no barrier keeping…

Barcelona/ Fredonia
For some reason my pics did not come through on this blog. It could have been poor wifi. I’m resending it. The wifi I’m using today is stronger. We woke up in Ohio, drove along the south coast of Lake Erie, and through a thin bit of Pennsylvania, and we are now in New York!…

Just a quick note today. We stayed in Cleveland a second day. We really got a chance to experience weather coming in off Lake Erie! We are staying at a hotel in downtown Cleveland and walked around a bit. We also went to the rock and roll hall of fame. Here are some pics of…

Cleveland, Ohio
We got to ride our bikes on a beautiful trail today. We rode thirty miles, fifteen miles one way and then back to our car. The trail took us along the Ohio & Erie canal. The trail follows the old towpath. In the eighteen hundreds they dug a canal to connect Lake Erie to the…

Perrysburg, Ohio
Today we drove from Bay City, Michigan to Perrysburg, Ohio. We saw several farms on the way, but the scenery was really similar to yesterday’s drive. We have only traveled one hundred fifty miles, so it makes sense. This area has had people living in it and controlling what happens to it for a long…

Bay City, Michigan
It’s been a hot one today! It seems that the whole continent is on the warm side. We woke up in Cheboygan this morning, and it was warm and humid. Last night we had walked over to the grocery store to get some things for dinner. We could tell that people don’t walk here too…

Goodbye to Lake Superior
I got together with my 3 sisters today on Zoom. We always meet on Wednesday at 9 am PST. We have traveled so far east now that we are three hours ahead, and we had to wait till noon today. In order to be sure we would have good signal, we stayed in Marquette, MI…
