North Beach, St. Augustine, Florida
Moving up to North Beach didn’t take long, and it was a pretty drive up the coast with the Inland Waterway to our west. We were in North Beach Camp Resort last year and we loved it. It’s a beautiful beach, a very nice campground with good facilities and a good staff and there are…

North Beach Camp Resort
I rate this campground a 9.5. It is a large campground with @150 sites, but you don’t feel it. The sites are large. Especially the back-in sites, you don’t see or hear anything. There is a soft, friendly atmosphere walking the campground at night, with gentle conversations around campfires. The bathroom and laundry facilities are…

Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park
Thursday August 13, 2020 Thunderstorms had been a common occurrence recently with more on the way, so we decided to drive north to Big Meadows for an easy walk around before going home. The fog (clouds) were so thick in places, we couldn’t see 20 feet in front of us. However, when there was a…

Hike The Appalachian Trail to Ivy Creek
Wednesday August 12, 2020 It was so hot in Charlottesville, we decided to go to Shenandoah National Park for a few days. Big Meadows campground was full. During this Covid-19 mess, I have found campgrounds to be full or busy all across the country. Camping is a relatively safe thing to do in these conditions.…

Hall County Park to Huntington, West Virginia
Saturday, July 25, 2020 I woke to the sounds of a quail calling. What a wonderful sound that is rarely heard today. Then a flight of geese flew over calling. I didn’t have much time, but I wanted to go for a walk and see what this park is all about. It is a county…

Drive From Casper, Wyoming to Hall County Park in Grand Island, Nebraska
Friday, July 24, 2020 I left the gravel, Casper KOA at 9:00, late for me, got on I25 south, later turning east on Rt. 26 for Fort Laramie and zig-zagged to I80. I have heard people complain about Nebraska being a boring drive, but I think it is very pretty with the beautiful Platte River,…

Move From Twin Falls to Stanley, Idaho
Tuesday, July 14, 2020 56 degrees, got up to 80 in Stanley I should have left earlier, but I was torn about whether to stay here one more night. I like it here. It’s a great, little park – Rock Creek RV Park, but I decided to go. First I went to the grocery store…

Shooting Rockets
They are Violet-Backed Swallows, and I love to shoot them! 1/1250 second wasn’t nearly fast enough to capture these, so I doubled to 1/2500 second, but still not fast enough. They only fly 28 miles/hr, but it seems like twice that, and they never fly straight, zig-zagging all over the place catching bugs in mid-air.…

The Loneliest Road from Mt. Vernon, Kansas to Gunnison, Colorado
July 1, 2020 It was going to be a long day. I was supposed to make Dodge City yesterday, but I didn’t. Love my Mt Vernon Corps of Engineering campground though. With all the hookups, nice staff, lots of distance between sites, nice facilities it goes on my favorite campgrounds list. I got off a…
