Wallace Family Vacation 2005
Welcome to our Travel Log!
Join us as we make our way Southward, like geese in fall-time, to the Lower 48. We don't have a plan of sorts, we are just going with the flow and what happens-- happens! We will be gone from the 25th of June until August 12. The only real firm plan is to visit relatives in Wisconsin, and see the EAA Airshow, Oshkosh, while there during the latter part of July. Join us! It ought to be a blast!

A Taste of Oshkosh- AirVenture 2005
I am not sure I know where to begin! As an aviation enthusiast, I was just simply in my element. Sheila said I was boggling the whole time! It was just the best time I have ever had and I could easily have stayed the whole week. Daily airshows! Warbirds! Ultralights! High Performance! Racing! Working! Whole fields of each kind!

I have to mention this camera!
I have done a great deal of research and this camera kept coming up. I am a Canon fan for the most part, and this thing is pretty awesome. Check it out!

Chicago City Adventure
 |
| Boy those are tall buildings |
I thought it might be fun to do something completely out of the ordinary (No surprise there!!) In any case, given that we are from a very remote area, I thought looking at a Big City like Chicago as basically an attraction, would be fun. In other words, a whole day of looking around at a City from the standpoint of an outsider-- In one day!!

| Poplar, WI to Edmonton, AB - 1230 miles |
We are in Edmonton on the way back. I finally have Internet, so I will be posting a few items that we did over the last two weeks. We left Wisconsin on 8-1 and arrived into Edmonton on 8-2. Our longest driving day so far, but it was helped by the time change. It was also helped by the fact that I couldn't find a place to stop on 8-1. I had set my goal as the Canadian border. We decided to travel west on HWY 2 as the gas was cheap and it was 4 lane. We arrived at 10:30pm, but didn't stop until after midnite when Walmart came to our rescue. Walmart is definitely the Motorhomer's friend as they almost always will allow folks to camp over in their parking lot. In any case- 670 miles in one day. We are taking a planned day off in Edmonton to go to the mall and the waterpark. Then onward to Alaska. Got to make the afternoon jet on Aug. 12. Thanks for watching!!

Matt Kenseth Race Fan Headquarters
Took a side road on the way to Chicago because I was tired of the freeway and lo and behold, Matt Kenseth's Fan HQ. I had to stop as Thomas Feaster just loves the guy, and took a few photos.

Anaheim has their ducks, well so does Wisconsin Dells. Just a bit differently!
