  • Triangle Lake Bog

    Ravenna, OH, June 2026 When searching Google for things to do, John had seen a short blurb about Pitcher Plants and Triangle Lake Bog. He forgot about it, but the kayaking naturalist brought it up as a thing to do in the area. The bog was only 10 to 15 minutes away, so we went…

  • Kayaking on Michael J. Kirwan Reservoir

    West Branch State Park, OH, June 2026 Towards the end of the stay at West Branch State Park, we reserved a spot for kayaking with a naturalist. The parks in Ohio are more expensive than some other states, but this is one of the benefits of the Ohio State Park system. Some states have more…

  • The Portage Hike and Bike Trail

    Ravenna, OH, June 2026 About 10 minutes away from West Branch State Park, you can find The Ravenna Community Playground. Not only is it a giant playground, it has a bathroom, lots of parking, and access to The Portage Hike and Bike Trail. The main trail is nine miles from Ravenna to Kent, but the…

  • Cinderella Bridge on the Gorge Trail

    Mill Creek Metro Parks, OH, June 2026 We decided to start with the west gorge trail on the other side of the creek. From the mill, you walk east a short distance to find Lanterman’s Mill Covered Bridge. While not as fanciful as the Cinderella Bridge, it is a very nice and well maintained example…

  • Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park

    Marietta, GA, April 2026 The Brinkley Z3210 was about an hour and a half away, so we combined the trip to examine that RV with visiting the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. The mountain was the site of a historically significant battle in the civil war. It was a confederate victory, but it did not…

  • Hiking Three Rivers State Park Part 2 – Selfies

    Three River State Park, FL, April 2026 Part 1 was all about the animals. This is all about the selfies and information boards. When we left the trailer, I was surprised to see a dead bird next to our power station. After looking around, I found feather splatted on our bedroom slide. The dead bird…

  • Hiking Three Rivers State Park

    Three Rivers State Park, FL, April 2026 The first day, we checked out Florida Caverns State Park to see if we made a mistake by not staying there. (Spoiler Alert: We did not make a mistake.) The second day, we drove the shorter route to the next park to make sure it was acceptable for…

  • Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge Hike

    Gasque, AL, April 2026 The lady at the visitor center wanted to know if we wanted to see song birds or shore birds. John said that he did not care how certain the birds were. He was fine with shore birds or unshore birds. He doesn’t think the lady understood the joke. She told us…

  • Chickasabogue Hike

    Chickasabogue Park, AL, March 2026 We did not want to drive too far, but we wanted to get out and do something. We decided to go back to Chickasabogue Park and hike a trail. On a random note, this park is not pronounced like Bogue Chitto. The Choctaw influenced pronunciation rhymes with “Yoga”. Louisiana is…

  • Hiking Trail Around Tyler State Park Lake

    Tyler State Park, TX, February 2026 The hike around the lake trailer was approximately 3 miles long and fairly well kept. We didn’t have to duck under or climb over trees, and the trail was wide enough that we didn’t have grass, bushes, etc. rubbing against our cloths. We sprayed our cloths with DEET just…
