Evening Ferry Ride
Surry County, VA, May 2026 The James River runs south and separates the eastern cities of Virginia cities, such as Jamestown, Williamsburg, etc. from the main land. This means that you either have to cross a bridge, use a tunnel, or take a ferry. I’ve been told by multiple family members that all can be…

Fort Monroe National Monument
Fort Monroe National Monument, VA, May 2026 Fort Monroe National Monument was between Machicomoco State Park and Edith’s house, so Kate thought we should stop by on the way.

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…

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…

Would you like Moorehens or Less Hens?
