Another Turtle Rescue!
Selma, NC, May 2026 I am beginning to think that turtles are not that smart. I have now saved 3 turtles in 2026. To be honest it wasn’t me. A guy with a cane pushed the turtle out of the road. So, I can’t take all the credit. We are staying at North Pointe RV…

Suicidal Turtles
Georgia, April 2026 When we were in Yellowstone, the squirrels were suicidal. They would run across the road in front of cars. I think it might have been a right of passage. If you make it across you are now an adult or win over the lady. In Georgia, I am learning it’s not the…

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…

That Tortoise Might Beat the Hare …
Reed Bingham State Park, GA, April 2026 … but, we will get to that in a minute. John had planned to try to get pictures of the Eastern Towhee near the campground Saturday morning, and Kate stayed back at the RV to clean and pack. Sadly, the joggers and park staff driving Gators around scared…

Howell Landing, FL, April 2026 Not a mile past the park entrance, there is a public boat ramp and small bridge. The people in the tiny kayaks fleeing the alligator said that there should be more over here. There is a decent sized parking lot for the trucks and boat trailers, the boat ramp, and…

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…

Howell’s Bay
Snead, GA, April 2026 We were talking to strangers by the lake at Three Rivers State Park who told us that the bridge 1 mile up had a lot of gators. We hiked back to the trailer, ate lunch and then went in search for the Florida gators. We were told correctly and saw a…

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…

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…

Alabama has Alligators too
River Delta Marina, AL, March 2026 Kate saw it last year. We both saw it this year. Alabama has Alligators too. When we stopped at the marina, it was hiding from the Paparazzi at the end of the pond. They certainly blend in well. Kate lost track of him and could not find him again.…
