In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Eisenhower farm & a spooky night!

We know how much Judy likes a ghost tour. Tonight at 11PM Stan & Connie went with us for a walk in the woods and a visit to the haunted basement. The woods was where the Confederates gathered the night before the first day of the Gettysburg battle, many were killed the next day. We heard some ghost stories and I got a pic of the gang in the woods....and it was quite dark. After that we sat in a haunted Farnsworth House basement for more stories. Balderdash is all I have to say but what is important is that everyone enjoyed the HOT & HUMID walk in the woods. We returned home at 1AM.





one car garage was turned into a small guest house. This is the back porch where they spent most of their relaxation time. Ike was a five star WWII general & the 34th president from 1953 to 1961. While sitting on a bench talking to another visitor I found out he's from N Adams, MI which is 20 miles west of Brooklyn on US12. Small world huh?













This is the front and back view of their farm home purchased for $44K way back when. He had a log book that all visitors signed when they visited the farm.
























Here's the view from Ike & Mamie's front yard. We were told that it was one of the reasons they liked Gettysburg & this is the only home they ever owned. Ike was also a Gettysburg battle historian.
