Day twelve of van life 3.0, October 10th, 2025

At the Arboretum at Bernheim gardens.  Trolls are on our list today. It is a chilly morning, and at 7am, we are not the first to roll into the park.



Last night we camped at a rest stop and visitor center.  Worked well, and we were on of many to stay here. Up at 6am we are only ten minutes from our destination.
Morning dog in the park.  Off to find Mama Loumari and Little Elina.

Janet walks into the trolls hands...

troll hunting is hard, so we take a break as most adults do, teatertotter..


On a more serious note, we head to Ohio to find Janets fathers headstone.  It is located in a beautiful part of the park, on a slight hill over looking the area.





We drive on to a campsight....

We find the lost camp… trolls are nearby 





Last night we camped at a rest stop and visitor center.  Worked well, and we were on of many to stay here. Up at 6am we are only ten minutes from our destination.


We take a five second break.


Scary stuff here, so we move on..


It is chilly, but a beautiful morning.


Can't get enough of these morning reflections

Must stop taking photos of reflections on the mist.


Janet becomes back to the lake ducks…

We move on to visit Janets father burial site.  I only need Mimi, her mother, and what an amazing person she was.  She still live on thru all she has touched.  Such a legacy.
