  • 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…

  • Is that a Dragon Fly or a Flagon Dry?

    Escatawpa Hollow State Park, AL, April 2026 Have you even seen a Dragonfly trip? We think his blood alcohol content is above the legal limit. We think he was hanging out under our steps to get out of the wind. This just happened to be a lucky sequence of pictures when a gust of wind…

  • 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…

  • More Fun Than You Can Shake An Axle At!

    Hillsdale State Park, KS, October 2025 The view at the RV Maintenance Facility we are using is pleasant. The amenities are a little bit lacking. A Sam’s Club palette sheet instead of a rolling mechanic’s creeper? At least the cardboard is free! Our current RV is holding up better than our first one, but we…

  • On the Road, Life is Seldom Boring, But …

    Des Moines, IA, October 2025 … sometimes it is inconvenient or terrifying. About an hour north of Prairie Flower Campground, John was about to contact Kate to stop at the exit a few miles ahead. He glanced at the side mirror, heard a pop, saw a blast of compressed air jet from the side of…

  • Otter Stream Trail

    Lake Vermillion State Recreation Area, SD, August 2025 In the morning, John has been walking the, roughly, one mile hike from the RV around the Otter Stream trail trying to get pictures of new things. Kate has been staying home for these treks because they are about 1/3rd walking and 2/3rds picture taking. Today was…

  • One More Loop Around Maple Campground

    Lake Vermillion State Recreation Area, SD, August 2025 John decided to walk the loop around our (Maple) campground on the Otter Stream trail early in the morning. If you consider 10 am early, then he succeeded. Otherwise, he was a bit late. The hope was that it would be cooler, less people around, and more…

  • 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…

  • Southeast Yellowstone Day 41: Part 2

    Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 This is the first of the three days of Yellowstone pictures that have not been posted. This was two days before the Sunday that we left the park. In the morning, we got up early to see the wolves. (We posted these pictures and videos here.) Some of us…
