After a delish breakfast with Tal and his mum we hit the road heading to Ohio. The weather was very ordinary and there were road works so it took a bit longer than we had hoped it would. We got to Aaron and Angela's after 5pm so they were both home. It was good to see them so much happier now they'd are in the same country at last. We went out to wild wings for dinner then to Jungle Jims which is a grocery store on steroids. They have international aisles with ...

Yesterday was pretty much taken up with driving across a few states; from Minnesota through Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and into Michigan. We arrived at Tal's about 7pm and he had dinner ready to go. His home improvement efforts have made such a big difference. We spent some time just chatting on the deck before crashing well after midnight. We were woken by a car alarm very near by going off around 10. Tal made us blueberry pancakes for breakfast which we had ...

It's been a busy few days. We left Moorhead early and drove through the boring plains of Minnesota, same same but different to the boring plains of North Dakota.

We arrived at Kevin and Angies at about 5pm in the Friday night. We settled in then went out to an Italian family style restaurant. Awesome meal, they had discoun...

We didn't close the curtains last night so woke early. Just below our windows there they all were, the wolves of Howlers Inn. Comanche didn't seem to have moved much from last night and was still being harassed by Satcha who was bouncing all over him trying to get him to play. We went down to the kitchen for breakfast and we're all watching through the windows there when howling began. We joked it was Mary Martha who we'd just seen go out. Then it became apparen...

We slept in and took it slow this morning, the long days in the park have taken their toll. A lone bunny stopped by while we had breakfast. Caught up on a few things, packed the car and were in our way a bit after 11am. It's been another picture perfect day, sunny with a few fluffy clouds and warm if not hot; mostly in the low 20's. As on previous days we got stopped for a wee bit at the black bear jam. Just the male up high at the same spot as the other day. T...
