"Camping in the Thumb"

Rita took us to a great county park right on Lake Huron. Wagener County Park is a beautiful RV park with lake access and great hiking paths. We spent for days there in September. Our spot had a great view of the lake.

Pheasants in Huron, SD


Pheasant hunting is very popular in the Huron area but we were a little worried that we'd make a tasty little snack for this big bird. Have you ever seen such a huge pheasant!!

Greenhouse at O'Hare (ORD)

Recently we spent several hours waiting in terminal “C” at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. It has a greenhouse look to it with very high ceilings and lots of glass. But not only does it resemble a greenhouse it makes you feel like you’re in one: very hot and humid. The aisles are narrow and crowded with wilted people and the restaurants were overcrowded and dirty. It probably looked like a good idea on paper but it would make a better conservatory for tropical plants than an airport terminal.
