  • Keystone Tour

    Goshen, IN, July 2026 The day after the Brinkley tour, we drove up to Goshen again for a Keystone tour. We planned to tour the Montana High Country plant because that model had a cargo capacity that was feasible for our use. Sadly, they are revamping the Montana High Country product line, so they may…

  • Brinkley Tour

    Goshen, IN, July 2026 While staying in Indiana, we scheduled a tour of the Brinkley 5th wheel manufacturing plant. The plant was 150 miles one way from the park. So, it was a fairly long day. The tour lasted 3 hours. The first 30 to 40 minutes was more of a sales pitch than anything…

  • Kayaking at Summit Lake

    Summit Lake State Park, IN, July 2026 We had time to hike or kayak one last time, and we rented kayaks. If not for the racks, the rental place would look more like a boat junkyard than a rental location. You launch from a muddy beach, so John pushed Kate out into the water. He…

  • A Truncated Hike via Selfie

    Summit Lake State Park, IL, July 2028 The temperature finally cooled off enough for us to go for a walk. As usual, I remember the walk through selfies. In this case, I took a few but not as many as Trail #2. This was our 1st and only attempt during the our stay at Summit…

  • A Truncated Hike

    Summit Lake State Park, IN, July 2026 No one was hurt, but when the mosquitos buzzing would give a World War II vet flashbacks to Pearl Harbor, it is time to stop or use bug spray. Technically, we did have bug spray in the car; we just were not wearing it. Okay, Okay, let’s start…

  • A Walk on the Mild Side via Selfie

    Summit Lake State Park, IN, July 2026 John tends to take a while when photographing insects, birds, etc. I end up getting a little bored. To alleviate boredom, I end up taking selfies. This post is dedicated to selfies and keeping myself entertained while trying not to scare all the bugs and wildlife away. (On…

  • A Walk on the Mild Side

    Summit Lake State Park, IN, July 2026 That title does sound like a lot like a Taco Bell commercial, but the walk certainly was not that wild. Summit Lake State Park has five hiking trails, but two are connected. We had hiked and biked the roads some, but we had not hiked the trails. It…

  • The Itsy Bitsy Spider

    Summit Lake State Park, IN, July 2026 looks HUGE with a macro photography lens. The lens is at 55mm or 42 mm with 31 mm of extension tubes. The magnification is between about 0.85x and 1.05x. This means that the spider image on the 22.3 mm x 14.8 mm R7 sensor is 85% to 105%…

  • Canada Goose Flash Mob

    Summit Lake State Park, IN, July 2026 Indiana (and Illinois) have terrible roads. You would think that, at least, the interstates would be good, but they resemble a cheese grater more than a road. Maybe each state has a greater purpose. Maybe, God created Indiana and Illinois to grate mozzarella for a giant pizza, hopefully,…
