Over the past few days Barbara and I have traveled north from Brunswick, Georgia to Lynchburg, Virginia to the Lynchburg Thousand Trails RV park. If I had to rate this place on first impressions, I’d give it an F. When we arrived yesterday it was raining and the roads in this park are terrible. ThisContinue reading “Lynchburg”

The Southeast Georgia (SEGA) rally begins today, so I walked around the Coastal Georgia RV Park this morning and took photos of the park, wildlife and RV’s. I’ve never seen so many Grand Design (GD) RV’s together in one place before. This is our first GD rally and hopefully won’t be our last.

Since today is our last day at the Oaks RV park I took one last hike around their lake in search of “critters”. I wasn’t disappointed. Take a look!

Yesterday Barbara and I travelled to Savannah for the day. We enjoyed a trolley ride through downtown and then a leisurely ride on the Georgia Queen. This city has a rich history predating the civil war. Notable items in Savannah’s history include slave trading, the cotton industry, General Sherman’s march through the southeast during theContinue reading “Savannah”

My brother got a chance to get out and do some fishing. He and some friends traveled to Bridgeport Lake on the east side of the Sierra’s and were rewarded for their efforts. Take a look!

This morning during my morning hike, as I was scanning the shoreline of the lake that I was walking around, I came across several critters sunbathing. Take a look!

In 1976 this area became one of our newest national parks encompassing 27,000 acres. This place kind of reminds me of a smaller version ofContinue reading “Congaree National Park”

Today Barbara and I traveled across South Carolina from the west side to the east side. For the next seven days we are staying in the Oaks RV park in Yemassee. It is really quiet here and when hiking along it’s many hiking trails the only sounds I hear are the sounds of nature, mostlyContinue reading “The Oaks”

Yesterday Barbara and I travelled from Lenoir, North Carolina (NC) to Littleton, NC on the south shore of Lake Gaston. After dinner we sat at a picnic table and were treated to a wonderful display of color as the sun fell below the horizon. I always enjoy the way the colors change as the sunContinue reading “Lake Gaston”

This past Tuesday, Barbara and I left Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and headed for Lenoir, North Carolina. Pigeon Forge is an interesting place. It appears to be a combination of a tourist trap and a theme park. While there we visited the Hard Rock Cafe and a place called the Island. The Island is a combinationContinue reading “Pigeon Forge”
