    We are volunteer Rangers at Indiana Dunes National Park. So sorry you didn’t get the help you were looking for. While at the Visitor Center, we would have been happy to help you, and as fans of your channel, would have enjoyed meeting you as well.

      Sure wish we could have met you! Also wish we would have had more time to spend there too, that would have helped. 😊🤓

    Beautiful Indiana Dunes National Park has an amazing plant diversity. The fact that the park is small and surrounded by industrial areas makes it all the more important to preserve. Thanks for taking the time to visit!

    If you go to Southern Indiana, I highly recommend visiting Madison which is on the Ohio River. 130+ blocks on the National Register of Historic Places. Many interesting shops and restaurants, beautiful waterfront park.

    Enjoyable as usual. We lived in South Bend, IN from 1987-1990 when kids were little and went to the Sand Dunes. I did not realize there was so much to it. Thank you for sharing.

    I sure hope you get a chance to spend at least a night in Petoskey, Mi about an hour north of Traverse City. I am born and raised here, and have never taken the areas beauty for granted. Many things to see. As we say" Have fun up north"

    I've been watching your videos for the last two years as I also live and travel full time in a Grech RV. Just wanted to say hi as I was surprised to see you in my home town of Traverse City. Keep making great videos. Maybe I'll run into you guys someday out there on the road.

    Hello hello! Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! We go to Milwaukee once or twice per year; I have really come to enjoy it. Cool architecture……tons of arts things to do……awesome waterfront…..and, the folks have been friendly.
    Heather and I FINALLY made it to the Iowa State Fair this year. My boss had his birthday party during that time that included one of the nations leading Rolling Stones cover bands! We stayed downtown and also score a visit to the big farmers market! All in all, it was a super visit!
    Whooaaa…..Indiana really has some hidden treasures that they don’t get credit for.
    I just pulled my camper out of storage. After my flights on Monday, we will head out for 2 weeks of Colorado exploring. We will start in the north by Steamboat Springs as the leaves are starting to turn up there.
    I believe on my last texting, we were looking to consider Tucson as a moving spot; but I told Heather she needs to go there in the summer. Ha…we had a 1 week trip to Palm Springs this summer (118 deg), and then the following week to Tucson (106). Ha…that kind of swayed her thoughts of Tucson, for now hehehehe. But…that concept is not dead. We will just incorporate some other locations in our travels that don’t have the extreme temps, to compare. However, I think we will head to Tucson for 2 months this winter; and I just airline back to Ouray on my flight days.

      Hey there! Glad you made it to the Iowa State Fair! Hopefully you also enjoyed some of the good foods-on-a-stick! 😋 And the Des Moines Farmers Market is one of our favs. Glad you had a good visit there!
      Enjoy your trip in Colorado. I’m sure it will be so beautiful this time of year.
      Oh yes, Palm Springs and AZ in the summer… woowee 🥵! You could try taking Heather to FL to experience the heat and humidity in the summer then she might think AZ is not so bad 😂!
      Take care & safe travels!!

Our son, who lives in Chicago, joined us by taking the commuter train right by there. Wonder if you were there then! 🩵

    I loved this video! But I may be a bit biased. I lived in Northwest Indiana for a few years and met my husband there. We went to Mt. Baldy on our first date. Back in the good ole days when you could still climb right up it and it hadn't moved toward the parking lot! Made me long to be there today.

    We are presently in the Traverse City area near Sleeping Bear Dunes. We stayed in South Bend and took a day trip to Indiana Dune (not impressed with this
    Park). Headed up to Silver Lake Dunes for a few day and really enjoyed that and are now in Traverse City. Next stop Mackinaw.

    Next trip north from Michigan City, you really need to stick to the Lake Michigan shoreline instead of going through Grand Rapids. Frankly, you missed out on some of the most beautiful shorelines in the US. Plus, there are plenty of small towns along the way as well.

      We’ll share more Grech content when we have useful updates to offer. We’re not salespeople, and we’ve agreed with Grech to continue providing content in our usual style. As a travel channel, we prefer not to focus on the same topics repeatedly. Instead, we showcase how the Grech Strada-ion makes our travels much smoother compared to when we had a Class A or our Airstream. In most of our videos, we include small, helpful tips or demonstrate the ease of traveling with the Strada-ion. If you don’t watch the entire videos by skipping through, you might miss those insights. The good thing is, we don’t have things breaking down like others often do, which limits what we can talk about…which is a good thing. We always strive to keep things real.
