This is a replacement for the other blog entry.  For some reason, the pictures never loaded.  The wifi signal was very weak and Mom finally gave up on trying to post.

Indy and Lucy

One of the first things we do upon arrival is check out all our favorite spots such as the marina in Fish Creek.

Lucy

Since we were in Fish Creek, we paid Sunset Beach a call.

Frank Murphy county park close to Egg Harbor is practically deserted at the time of year we visit.

Indy

I keep on high alert anyway.

Lucy

Sister, not so much.

On our way to Charlie’s Smokehouse in Gills Rock for some smoked salmon, we thought this looked like a good place for a tea party.

Naturally, we stopped at Anderson Dock in Ephraim and

the marina in Egg Harbor.

We always take a walk on the pier at Baileys Harbor,

Always Take the Scenic Route Part 3

On the last leg of our journey, we followed the Great River Road and crossed to Wisconsin at McGreger, Iowa.

Bridge to Prairie du Chien

We cut across Wisconsin on Highway 131 and headed up to Tomah to see our friends Deb Strozewski and Connie Radke.  We stayed at another family operated inn in Tomah called the Lark Inn.  It was a lovely place with a doggie swing.

Deb picked Mom and Dad up and took them to the Hawk High Dairy, Connie’s farm.

After an interesting tour of the dairy given by Connie’s daughter, lunch was served at Connie’s.  Mom said it was a delightful time.  The next day we continued to our final destination: Fish Creek, our home for the next week.  Woof! ~ Indy and Lucy

The Great River Road….

Indy and Lucy, Le Claire, Iowa

We stopped at the lock and dam outside of Le Claire, Iowa to see if we could spot an eagle.  None were flying but we enjoyed watching the pelicans float down the river fishing and then flying back up to do it again.

A visit to Antique Archaeology, home of the tv show American Pickers, is always necessary if you are in the area.  Photo ops required.

Indy and Lucy, Le Claire, Iowa

We have yet to meet Mike, Frank or Danielle but it’s always fun to peek inside.

Following the Mississippi River past Dubuque, we dropped in on the Field of Dreams movie site.

Of course, we had to run the bases.

Mississippi, McGregor, Iowa

We then headed for one of our favorite towns, Guttenberg, Iowa.  It is a charming place that takes its name from the inventor of movable type, Johannes Gutenberg and is located along the limestone bluffs of Northeast Iowa.  The riverfront limestone buildings were built by German immigrants in mid to late 19th century when the town was sizable and nearly all German.  Our pit stop for the night was The Eagle View Motel.

The Eagle View is a 14 room motel perched on the bluffs overlooking the river and run by Brian Street.

What a perfect place to relax and the views of the Mississippi….majestic!

Truly an Eagle’s View as we saw them riding the air currents over our heads.

We had a marvelous time.  Bark at you later. ~ Indy and Lucy

Travel

However, the long cut is our favorite. We do love the two lanes.  For this trip,  Dad made us some window shields out of plastic pallet dividers to keep the sun out.  Mom said it was time to retire the maps.

Indy

We spent the morning dodging storms so we didn’t take as scenic a route to head north as previously planned.

Baxter Springs, KS Route 66

Baxter Springs, Kansas is one of our favorite Route 66 towns.

Cameron, Iowa

We stopped in Cameron, Missouri for dinner before reaching Des Moines, Iowa, our first overnight.  That’s a 9 hour day on the road.  We are excellent travel dogs, Mom said. Bark at you tomorrow. ~ Indy and Lucy

Week In Review

The week started out with Brother getting blue ball stuck in his mouth which goes to show most accidents happen in the home.  Remember the cardboard in the teeth?  Geez.

Indy

The weather has been rather glorious this week.  We have enjoyed playing in the yard

Lucy

and catching some rays.

Lucy

I had to go for my annuals on Friday and I helped Dr. Pokey out by giving my stool sample right there on the exam table.  I think Dad was embarrassed; I couldn’t see what he was texting Mom.  Brother found it very amusing though and blabbed it to everyone.

Indy

He’s like that.  Anyway the visit went well.  I might be a pound overweight and I need to have my teeth cleaned even though Dad brushes them all the time.  The Dr said it is very hard to reach those back ones.  We have a busy week ahead.  Bark at you later. ~ Lucy

Yesterday we were playing in the yard.  Brother grabbed his blue ball and this happened.

Indy

It’s hard to tell because he is pawing at it but the blue ball is stuck in his mouth.  Good Grief, what will he do next.  I heard Mom say that it’s going in the trash.  (Photo by Dad).  Arooo ~ Lucy
