Resting

We left the falls and went back to the boat to hang out... and just have a day to do nothin.  All this go go going does get to you after awhile.  Then we pulled the boat for our roadtrip "leg".  This is where we head south, then west, towards home.  First we are going back to Virginia to visit family, then following what I call "The McClain trail" west, through Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas (Kansas is another state I need to check off... and also where Rob's great grandfather Bovia was born).  I will visit some historical societies along the way to find more clues to where "Damn Isaac" originated.  Damn Isaac, as I affectionately refer to him, is Rob's 4th great grandfather and the "brick wall" in my geneological research.

You probably wonder why we aren't cruising the Great Lakes section of the Loop... and its simply that I have been to almost all the interesting towns and sites around the great lakes.  I grew up there and have camped and sailed much of it.  I would love to show Rob, but, I'd also like to put Damn Isaac to rest (so to speak).

We have several family and friends to visit along the way as well.  None of this roadtrip leg is relavant to the purpose of this blog, so I'll be taking a break here.

 Once we hit St Louis, and the Mighty Missisip, we will do a bit more cruising.  So I'll write more then.
