Hunting Island Day 3
At low tide I took my camera up the beach for some pictures. This is such a cool beach Where wildlife manages to survive among humans. We then took a bike ride on Magnolia Trail and Lagoon Trail, then back on Maritime Trail. I went for a swim in the ocean to cool off after…

Hunting Island Day 1
Monday, May 7, 2018 It’s always fun arriving at a new place, anxious to explore and see what is here. We walked out the long boardwalk into a huge marsh. It was low tide and they haven’t had rain for 12 days, so the only water was in the creeks. I was disappointed not to…

Brookgreen Gardens
After walking out the concrete drive from Atalaya Castle, viewing the wildlife, we hiked the trail to the north end of the beach, then walked back in the surf. We saw our nice neighbors, Jim and Karen, at a wildlife overlook. They come to Huntington Beach State Park often, and always had great recommendations of…

Huntington Beach State Park
May 5, 2018 We walked down to the beach with a nice lady from Chapel Hill, exchanged good ideas for travel. She said we would love Hunting Island. Her father was a Navy pilot for 20 years, but Jimmy Keith’s name didn’t ring a bell. We walked this beautiful beach for 40 minutes. Met Jim to…

Pinehurst, North Carolina
May 4, 2018 We enjoyed a day visiting Pinehurst, NC, a beautiful little village with pretty houses, cute shops and good restaurants. We found some nice gifts in Le Feme Chateau.

Kearnie, Nebraska to Columbia, Missouri
Friday, November 3, 2014 We got off to a late start after I added DEF (diesel exhaust fluid, keeps the exhaust from smoking) to the truck, and put air in a couple of tires. Back on I80, we drove through Lincoln. Outside Omaha City we dropped down to I70 via I29, which is also a pretty drive. By…

Rawlins, Wy to Kearney RV Park, Nebraska
Thursday, November 2, 2017 People ask why I post several days at a time. Most of the time it is due to inadequate WIFI, so when I get to a good one, I can catch up. That might be a campground, a coffee shop or library. We were happy to wake up to winds that…

Wendover, Nevada to Super 8, Rawlins, WY
Wednesday, November 1, 2017 If yesterday’s drive through the high sage plains, today was totally different. We were immediately on the Bonneville Salt Flats, with only a break when we crossed a big mountain range. On the other side was the Great Salt Lake. We passed the Morton’s Salt plant with their lady with the…

Drive Lakeview, Oregon to Wendover, Nevada
October 31, 2017 It was 27 degrees and windy when we got up, and we were feeling the need to get out of the Rockies. Looking up the top 10 things to do in Lakeview, we discovered there was a geyser right next door, so we hooked up and drove over. It’s a pretty cool…

Redwoods National Park
October 29, 2017 We stopped at Bakery by The Sea and got a muffin and some scones. Soon after we got there, a long line developed in this tiny shop. Then we headed south on 101 to the Redwoods National Park. A young ranger gave us suggestions of where to go. We drove the…
