We Arrive in Hart Michigan


Our cumulative trip to date.



On Monday the 14th, our 52nd day of being on the road, we arrived in Hart, Michigan. This was our 14th setup since leaving Oregon, and the last till we head back in November. If you want to check out where we camped each night, check out our Google Calendar, which lists all the names of the places we have been. We've traveled just over 3000 miles getting here, and have had a fabulous time.


On Friday the 11th, we drove over to Hart from the resort in White Cloud, (48 miles) to pick up our mail and meet with the city, and get the water turned on at the plant.  Within a minute or so of the water being turned on , we had a major water leak under the hot water heater, and quickly got the water turned off at our master shutoff.  We spent most of the rest of the day putting in a new hot water heater.  It turns out that the buildup inside the tank had not allowed it to drain last fall, so when it froze, it split open the tank.


This has been a very cool summer, so harvesting is running about 10 days or so late this year, so it looks like it will be around the 20th, before we start drying the squash seeds. We will start getting things set up, so that when the cannery is ready to provide seed, we will be ready to go.

  1. Morning Dick - was that the water tank on your coach or in the factory?
