Milwaukee, August 26 – 29, 2024

Next leg  We were here, Wisconsin State Park RV Park, at the end of May, after our breakdown screwed up the early part of our trip. This was the second park, (yep it’s more of a parking lot) we were able to get to and where we left Bailey to go to our first race of the season in Detroit.  This time we are here for this weekend’s, Labour Day, double header race at the Milwaukee Mile.

Bailey & Bob finally get clean 

August 27th:  Today is our much anticipated, pick up our Amazon orders at our first ever Amazon Locker @ Mawer.  Leave it to us to pick one of the most humid, hot day to go for a 30m each way walk.  Well 30m if you walk there directly, we unfortunately, took the scenic route. With the humidex it was 104f/40c  Site B3

Morning, right before the storm                              Afternoon, clear skies

Strangest street lights

A quick visit with the gator

  Downtown West Allis, nope we shouldn’t be here

Mawer, where the heck are you?  I map again and we’ve gone too far, back we go.  Lot’s of extra steps we don’t need in this heat we go into Burlington Coat Factory to cool done.  Spin the store and on our way out, there it is MAWER.  Allan doing his magic of opening our compartments.  Not sure why Amazon doesn’t say, Mawer, in Burlington Coat Factory.  Perhaps they have cameras watching folks struggle to find it.

Stuff in hand we head back to Bailey and arrive just in time for the storm to let goThe neighbour left his awning out, the high winds had fun with it. Cleared up enough to go for a walk on the trail behind the park.

Bees on the trail   

Back home it’s bevy followed by dinner time.

August 28:   Stock up day.  First stop Costco, where we think it’s way too early for this

Next stop – local grocery store Pik N’ Save

Did score these delicious rubs and Caesar salad from Costco.  Not much excitement today.

August 29th: We’re excited today, off to get Allan a hair cut at Great Clips.  Fun fact it costs the same in Canada as it does here and you use the same app.

Our reward is a bun & beer at Nico’s

Steps when we got back to Bailey 

Excited for tomorrow’s begin of our Milwaukee race weekend!!
