Day 2: In my previous post, I mentioned that I would be staying up late to see if waiting for exhaustion to set in would make for better sleep. Well, it worked. Too well. I didn’t wake up until 11 AM on Day 2. If … Continue reading Colorado 2024 Trip Report (Days 2 through 5)
Good day, and welcome to my annual trip back home to Colorado. On this trip, I had hoped to get back to a couple of spots that I visited during my college days, before I had a digital camera. But before that, I had hoped … Continue reading Colorado 2024 Trip Report (Day 1)
Day 13: I woke up on Day 13 eager to continue my exploration of Mackinac Island. But almost immediately, my legs felt very tired and weak. It seems all the walking I’ve been doing on this trip had finally caught up with me. I pondered … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (the final two days)
Day 11: Last time we met, I told you that the only way you can see the Pictured Rocks themselves is from the waters of Lake Superior. Yet the boundaries of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore stretch over five miles inland in some spots. Why? … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (Days 11 and 12)
As I pulled into the town of Munising last night, I noticed a Hardee’s. I can never say No to a Hardee’s, so that’s where I went for my evening food. I wonder now if that was the best choice. My gut woke me up … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (Day 10)

Day 3: When you last heard from me, I said that I would be visiting a “most unique / unusual” museum. As it turns out, I was a little off base. Despite its name, Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum is more of an arcade than a … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (Days 3 through 5)
Day One: I’m going to a museum today. It opens at 9:30. I figured that would give me plenty of time to have breakfast and watch the local news for a bit. But then I somehow slept until 10:15. TEN FIFTEEN! I haven’t slept that … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (Days 1 and 2)
Day 12: On this day, I went to the Nevada Railroad Museum. I wanted to see ONE thing here, as I had read a little about that one thing and was highly intrigued by it. That one thing was their McKeen Motor Car. The description … Continue reading Nevada 2024 Trip Report (Days 12 through 14)
