    4mickey2 got a reaction from BradyBzLyn...Mo in Aroma rice cooker/steamer-anyone have this??   
    yeah, i don't know about that one either..    :o
     
    :rotfl6:
     
    I am taking this one back and will wait and see what I can find that is just a timed slow cooker.  One that goes to keep warm..  i will have to make sure i don't get the one that shits down.  i'd have to cook with it in stall #2    :tounge-smiley:

    Here’s some information about Devils Lake State Park.  This is another favorite place for many of us.  There are no motorized boats on the lake and a lot of people go scuba diving here. There is an Indian Burial Ground at the bottom of the lake-so, I’ve been told.  J

    Here are a few pics of the bluffs on this site.  You can hike, bike and rent a canoe if you would like.  It’s really awesome in the fall.

    Here’s a video of Door County.  It’s another great place to visit.  Fish Creek has a great fish boil you could go to.  They have you come in and watch them cook out back over a fire and then you go inside to eat your dinner.  There are cherry wine and fish markets to go to.  I also think you could find someone that does fishing excursions.  We don’t do them.  You can also take a ferry over to Washington Island-which is at the top of Door County.

    A good place to stay is Peninsula State Park.  Biking is very popular here.  You used to be able to rent scooters in the nearby town.  I’m not sure if they still do.

    Most of our state parks are good to stay at.  You won’t get sewer or water hook-up but, they all have dump stations and water where you can refill your tank.
    We have a lot of Indian Casinos.  I know the one in Wisconsin Dells has camping (I think they have full hook-ups).  This is at a casino so don’t expect much.  If you google all these campgrounds you can see what they look like.  This isn’t my kind of camping but, if you want a break from the road and want to do some gambling I think it’s a good option.  Just click on Wisconsin Dells and over resorts you should see RV.

    We’ve also got Miller Brewing and Sprecher in Milwaukee.  I believe both have tours.
    If you get over to just under Door County, we have the Manitowoc Maritime Museum. This is neat to see also.  They even have reservations for overnight stays in the sub-if you’re interested.  J

    Sorry you missed Dinosaur.  We got to stop there on one of our trips and it was really neat.  Definitely worth going to go and I would even go back again.
     
     
    If you go to Mt Rushmore you have to go and I would recommend stay at Custer State Park.  It is by far a favorite of mine.  I could spend a week there.  We have seen so many animals there and the tunnels in the park are awesome to drive through.  You can view Mt Rushmore from many of their lookouts.  
     
     
    Lets see if I can help out with this one..

    Yes, Leinenkugel is located in Chippewa Falls, Wi.  It should be near where you are planning on coming into Wisconsin.  This is one event they are holding.  I also believe they do tours.
     
    Here's the schedule for the Octoberfest which is in September--lol

    I will get back with more..  I just don't want to get kicked off and loose what I want to post.  So, here are some ideas so far for you.

    some how i think i missed the pic from the olympic mountain... lol  so, here it is.  it was really cool to see this and be right there by it.  still not sure what the track was.
     
    sorry about the window reflections in some of the pics. 
     

     
     
    where are we heading next?  can't tell you yet.  but here are some great views we had on the road.
     
     

     

     
    okay--here we are!  my most favorite place to visit.  the flaming gorge in utah.  if you ever go this way you must go here.  it is beautiful and not over crowded.  most people camp here at the rivers (gorges) edge.  but we prefer the sites up above.  the views are AWESOME!  this trip was early in the year and the campgrounds weren't open.  but the wildlife was out and about.
     

     

     
     
     
    there was a big cave in the side of the mountain.  i think it was a bat cave!  would've been neat to stick around until dusk to see if there bats but--had things to do.

    Yeah Carol! I have to share a story. On my first trip to the Fort after becoming a Fiend (over there) I was pulling into the campground with my windows down and I hear a woman's voice crying out "hey Shanta!"... It was Carol out riding her bike. I can't describe the feeling of 'belonging' I felt. Here I was 10 hours from our house, and had only just arrived, and already felt like I was home! Precious memories, to which I hope to add! Can't wait for October.

    4mickey2 got a reaction from BradyBzLyn...Mo in home made dog food..   
    SWAI with couscous
    1 pound of swai or any white fish
    1 cup whole wheat couscous cooked with 1 T EVOO
    2 yellow squash
    2 cloves chopped garlic
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    2 cups frozen peas/carrots
    rub the fish with some EVOO and bake until done. Cook the couscous with some EVOO and flake the fish into the couscous. Sautee the squash with the coconut oil and 2 cloves of garlic and thyme. In a food processor mix the peas and carrots that have been microwaved with the cooked squash. Mix the veggies with the fish mixture
    trying this one today. i put it all in the food processor again. i just think it is mixed a lot better this way. funny, the dogs haven't figured out that when the food processor comes out-i'm making their food. lol i'm sure it will happen sooner or later.
    i went back to the store bought food for about 2 weeks and they have started itching again. so, i guess i have to try to return the unused cans. home-made from here on out!!

    Thanks. I hope you get the camper you want some day. Once you have one-it's hard to be without. :)
    Thanks, Rita...
    I had to catch that photo!
    Just over 6,600 miles. I think we got out of the snowy states just in time. We stopped at one truck stop and a trucker was in there saying that the roads right now are "a truckers dream"... We couldn't agree more. :)
    They really are some of the best trips...

    Wednesday we go through Kansas City and Missouri. We see there is a restaurant called the “Toot Toot” and thought about daveintn. Lol

    We get into Iowa and finally Wisconsin. We had to stop for a nap before making the last 2 hours. When we got up it was pretty wet and we figured it would be icy.
    We got into Madison and there were at least 3 cars spun out in the median. One was on its side and the other 2 people were standing outside the cars. We know better than to stop so we called 911. They were sending squads out. We got home and found out a guy fell from a bridge when he stopped to help a woman that had wiped out on the bridge. He told her to get it off the bridge because it was too dangerous. He somehow slipped on the ice covered edge and went into the river. I feel bad for not stopping to check on people but, I know what ice on highways can be like. The medics would be there soon enough.
    When we got home our driveway was icy. Jeff had to put salt down before backing her into the garage. We let the dogs run around in the yard and unloaded the camper. Not much in it but, enough. We ate breakfast and took a nap. Then headed to Costco to re-load the fridge.
    All in all I have to say it wasn't bad for a 13 day trip! I hope ya'll enjoy the travels with us. Like I said if you can head out West do it. It is gorgeous...

    We either need to move about 12 hours south.... or finagle a LOT more time off.
