Oneida and Chip In Casinos October 18-19, 2010

Entering Oneida Casino Area, Green Bay, Wisconsin
Friends of ours wanted us to go on an overnight bus trip to Chip In Casino in Harris, Michigan. Chip In is also known as Island Resort and Casino. We left Monday morning Oct 18th at 7 :30 am. Harris, Michigan is located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula near Escanaba. The route took us thru the Wisconsin country side until we arrived in Green Bay. A planned stop at the Oneida Casino for a late breakfast or an early lunch and to play a few slots. After an hour or so we were on our way. Again it was a pleasant journey thru northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. About 60 passengers were included in this adventure. On arriving at the Casino we were assigned our room and then we were free to take advantage of their Casino and restaurants. We enjoyed our meals both days at the cafe and also enjoyed the Ice Cream Shoppe. On Tuesday am the wife and I checked out the casinos RV lot. We hope to take a summer trip with our little camper to this area. Mid afternoon Tuesday we departed Harris for our return home. We had an hour stopover at Cluvers in Green Bay for a bite to eat then for the final leg of our excursion. We enjoyed the trip as did our friends. Other than in the bus we saw very little of them. People can be very close but never see each other in the casino environment.
We will be going on another overnight bus casino trip to Iowa next month. Will share a few words of that adventure when we return. In the mean time I will drop by every now and then.

South Dakota Trip Day Seven Saturday Oct 02, 2010

Cleaned up, had a quick breakfast then hooked up the trailer. Departed Blue Mounds State Park and headed for home. When we arrived at our house the neighbor was outside picking up branches from a windy day the day before. He greeted us with this statement, "You won't recognize the inside of your house. We went inside the house and our walls were all washed and our living room carpet was shampooed. Three of our daughters got together and gave our house a good cleaning.

Sure dragged out posting all of our trip but was having computer problems. I uploaded 3 pictures to this posting but haven't seen them yet. It was a long download with dial-up, wonder where they ventured off too.
