  • 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…

  • Mohawk Park

    Tulsa, OK, February 2026 Despite the name, this is not a place you go for punk hair styles. At 3,300 acres, this is the largest park in the city of Tulsa, OK. It is also one of the largest city parks in the United States. John has started scanning paper photos from his mother’s collection…

  • Lakeside at the Campground

    Hillsdale State Park, Kansas, October 2025 There are no campsites next to the lake in the Sunflower Campground at Hillsdale State Park. There is a short, maybe 1/4 mile trail that goes to the lakeside from either corner of the campground. The area along the trail and the lake is mowed with a picnic table…

  • Bluebird Trail

    Hillsdale State Park, KS, October 2025 This week has been and will be a week of rain. It rained Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Rain is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. The Sun will hopefully come out on Thursday in time for us to prepare to move to a different campsite within the same park. Today…

  • Clinton SP North Shore Trails

    Lawrence, KS, October 2025 In 2024, John hiked part of the white and blue trails, and, for some reason, I did not. I’m not exactly sure why. Potentially, my Achilles was hurting, or I went shopping 🙂 This year we did a little of each trail all on the same hike. John said that the…

  • It’s a Blue Bird, not a Bluebird!

    Lake Vermillion State Recreation Area, SD, August 2025 We planned to rent paddle boards to putter around the lake today. John had been planning to hike the Otter Stream trail with the tripod to try to get better pictures of some of the subjects from the last hike. Since it was still early, he decided…

  • Palisades State Park

    Garretson, SD, August 2025 Today was supposed to be a reasonably nice day with sun and no rain. So, we decided to visit Palisades State Park in South Dakota which is about 45 minutes from our current campground. We set the car GPS and off we went. Needless to say, the car GPS took us…

  • A Stroll Along Lake Vermillion

    Lake Vermillion Recreation Area, SD, August 2025 The weather in South Dakota changes on a flip of a dime. Last night and this morning we were not supposed to have rain. Guess what? It rained. So, we had a wonderful breakfast while we waited for the weather to clear up. The weather started to clear…

  • Hike The Otter Stream Trail, Not This One

    Lake Vermillion State Recreation Area, SD, July 2025 Lake Vermillion State Recreation Area has a figure 8 hiking trail in the western camping area that circles the Maple Campground and passes near Juniper and Oak Campground. The trail is flat smooth and wide. It appears to be a mowed path through the prairie about 4…
