September 20 - National Park and Ceresco, MI

We left the Ohio and drove west and a little north to stop at River Raisin National Battlefield Park in Monroe MI. River Raisin interprets the January 1813 battles of the War of 1812 and their aftermath. This was the greatest defeat for the US. 

Unfortunately when we arrived they were doing work around the buildings so we couldn’t walk around. I was able to get my stamp though. Even though it was a quick stop, the website left me wanting to stop back to learn more … maybe on the way back. 

On to our next stay at a Boondockers Welcome site - River Getaway. 

we crossed the bridge over the Kalamazoo River. 




When we stopped for gas close to our destination, we noticed the truck battery had died. Still not sure why but we jumped the truck with Ida’s battery. Made it to River Getaway. It so happened that the owner, Dave was a retired mechanic. He hooked the truck’s battery to his charger. 

River Getaway is exactly that…a get place to getaway to rest and relax along the Kalamazoo River. 





A very peaceful spot to read, too Lenny and Banjo could wander around. Everyone was happy.
