  • McMillan Fort Morgan Fishing Pier

    Fort Morgan, AL, March 2026 After the hikes and beach, Kate did not feel like there was a need to tour Fort Morgan. John felt like they should go to the Fort Morgan end of the peninsula to take a picture, since we drove all this way already. Kate concurred, so we went to the…

  • $10.00 Reward…

    Tyler State Park, TX, February 2026 … for any information leading to the arrest of the masked bandit that chased us on the way to the shower house. The raccoon was not being aggressive or acting odd. Our best guess is that people feed the raccoons or leave food out on picnic tables, like nitwits.…

  • Japanese Friendship Garden

    Lawrence, KS, October 2025 When we visited the area in 2024, we know about the Japanese Friendship Garden.

The city of…

  • Exploring Lake Vermilion

    Lake Vermilion State Recreation Area, SD, August 2025 Lake Vermillion is named after the Vermillion River. Vermillion is an alternate spelling of Vermilion, the reddish-orange color. The river gets its name from the seams of reddish-orange sandstone along the banks. People just lack imagination. At least, it is not the reddish-orange river. Yesterday, we had…

  • Can I Burro a Bag of Salad?

    Custer State Park, SD, July 2025 The Burros are descendants of the ones used to haul visitors up to the top of Black Elk Peak before the tours were discontinued in the 1930s. They are not native to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We had driven by the place the Burros hung out a…

  • Barnes Canyon Trail

    Custer State Park, SD, July 2025 We needed to get some exercise, so we decided to go hiking. Since all the places that we wanted to hike had rattlesnakes or poison ivy, we decided to hike on Barnes Canyon Trail. Since we could not decide which direction to hike from, Kate picked “B”, and we…
