Holiday Inn Stevens Point

The Prohibition and the Great Depression of the 1920s and '30s were lucrative times for outlaws like Al Capone and John Dillinger. Charismatic and successful, they were polarizing figures unpopular with the FBI and local police-the honest ones, anyway. <br><br>The usual suspects were often on the run. And that usually meant Wisconsin. <br><br>Wooded and rural ...

... suitcases of about 50 pounds each. I have successfully packed my meds, teaching supplies, winter, summer and professional clothes with a limited amount of shoes and clutches. (1 clutch and 4 pairs shoes to be exact - which for all who know me well, know how this has broken my heart - please take a moment to remember all those beautiful color heels that are going to be neglected and miss out on walking the streets of CHINA!)

... we wanted to go early so we could catch a bus there before they stopped running. We left at 6:30 and walked to the bus stop. We still aren't sure what was going on, but for some reason, every bus that came by that was going to the airport waved us off, and wouldn't even slow down. By 8 we decided we would give it up and pay the 23 dollars it would cost for a taxi to take us there. We 6 hours until our flight left, so we played some poker and picked up a last ...

... up at the clubs, my crew was larger and life in Barcelona city was officially home. April 18th my father came into the Jungle. After a purchase of a new, smaller wallet and a newfound habitual placement of where he put his wallet he was ready to go. Minus the time his wallet ended up on the floor of Barcelona's metro only to be relinquished by a random young fellow, if that was my luck that wallet would be at best in the hands of NASA ready for take ...

... plently of fast food restaurants, library, a couple of bars :-) and of course a Wal Mart. The first few weeks were busy with wilderness first aid and lifeguard training and now were on our second week of campers. I have been busy pitching tents, learning that almost anything can be cooked over a fire and singing lots of songs. Time off is really good so have ...

... that there were actually 4 more courses we parked and proceeded to play a round. The very first hole after being in the car all day and just cracking my first beer, I threw the road trips first and only hole in one!!!!!! BAAAADAAAABING!!!!!! After exploring the course which looked like a deserted ghost town we ended up talking to an old timer that had ...

... fireplace chatting, while enjoying the sound and warmth of the log fire - jealous? You should be, it was brilliant, but the best was still to come! We had a wonderful supper of a green salad in the best home made salad dressing I have ever had, poppy seed dressing. I must add that while I think it is the best, Jules thought it tasted too much like chutney ..... that's why she reasoned I like it so much and she doesn't. However we both ...

Monday August 27, 2007, Travel Day. Leaving the Badlands behind we crossed South Dakota and Minnesota. Not much to see from the highway. Crossing the Missouri River we stopped to take in the view. More farms and giant windmill turbines dotted the scenery, quite a sight there must have been at least one hundred of them. That night we found the Dalles House Motel on Highway 8, it had everything we needed a clean bed, restaurant next door and a laundry room.

Tody we went into the woods . There was a forest fire. But our friends Noelle and Madison helped us get out with our wagon unharmed.So the rest of the way we are planning to stick together. Our wagon would have probably burnt if they didn't help us get out. We were so thankful that they helped us get out that we offered them food. But they said no we don
