  • Lakeview Nature Trail at Comlara Park

    Comlara Park, IL, August 2026 Like so many other park trails with Lakeview in the name, it does not have much of a lake view. You can see the lake at the trail head, but you quickly move away from it. Oddly, the Mountain bike trail that spurs off of the lake view trail has…

  • A Truncated Hike via Selfie

    Summit Lake State Park, IL, July 2028 The temperature finally cooled off enough for us to go for a walk. As usual, I remember the walk through selfies. In this case, I took a few but not as many as Trail #2. This was our 1st and only attempt during the our stay at Summit…

  • A Truncated Hike

    Summit Lake State Park, IN, July 2026 No one was hurt, but when the mosquitos buzzing would give a World War II vet flashbacks to Pearl Harbor, it is time to stop or use bug spray. Technically, we did have bug spray in the car; we just were not wearing it. Okay, Okay, let’s start…

  • Findley State Park Blue, Blue and Blue Trails

    Wellington, OH, July 2026 I gave a “blue trail” (look for Y on the map) another try. This light blue trail started by the pickle-ball court, which was put in last year. We walked the entire trail and did not see any blue markers. We did see blue drainage pipes with dark blue caps instead…

  • Findley State Park Blue Trail

    Wellington, OH, July 2026 We got back from Lorain, Ohio and both decided on a nap since we stayed up late and got up early. Well for me, the nap didn’t happen. Too many interruptions like locking the trailer door and Mackie deciding to take a big dump that stunk up the bedroom. (The last…

  • 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…

  • 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

    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…
