Kayaking Burt Mill Creek
Thursday, March 4, 2021 A downy woodpecker, the smallest of the woodpecker family, worked on a limb in our campsite. Colin Burns gave us some tips on places to fish and kayak near St. Andrews State Park. We opted for Burt Mill Creek. There is a nice boat ramp, parking area and even has a…

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…

St. Augustine’s Varied and Amazing Architecture
I went into town at 7:30 to get some pictures before the crowds came. It was fun walking the streets while they were quiet. I’m not a city person, but I do like this one.

From: https://www.visitstaugustine.com/article/instagram-worthy-architecture-st-augustine we learn the types of architecture in…

Wednesday, February 24, 2021 Martha was ready for a walk on the beach, so we picked up Ruff and walked on the beautiful North Beach at low tide. Lots of people were fishing from the beach, but no one was catching. It’s a beautiful, broad, flat beach with compact, smooth sand. The water had beautiful…

Saint Augustine Hop-on-Hop-off Tour
Tuesday, February 23, 2021 After a week on the road it was laundry morning. The laundry and bathroom/showers at North Beach Camp Resort are very nice. I caught up on the news and a few other things before everyone was ready to go at 11:30. In St. Augustine we took a hop on-hop off trolly…

Skidaway State Park
Saturday, February 20, 2021 I thought I would just fix the problem of not being able to connect to my iPhone hotspot. I could connect to Martha’s phone, but not mine. Trying all kinds of things, I must have deleted the wrong .phst file, so my email didn’t work. 30 minutes later that was solved.…

Shoshone Falls
Monday, July 13, 2020 60 degrees in the morning, up to 82, a delightful day I kept looking for my Airstream neighbors, but they didn’t come out. I had an appointment for an oil change at Bob Green Buick/GMC at 10:30. Not knowing the town, I left at 9:45 and was there before 10:00. They…

One Day in Bangor
Monday, September 16, 2019 I got to Northern Light Walk-In Care at 7:40 and registered at 7:45. I wanted a Lyme’s Disease test since I had been having some weird symptoms over the last two and a half months. My friend, Pam, had recommended this clinic, so I felt confident it was a good place,…
