That’s what I have been doing for the last two weeks. I felt free and unencumbered. Closer to nature. It was…Arkansas. See, that is their motto. The Natural State. I did not mean to suggest I was camping in my birthday suit, although that would be interesting. Anyway, after a quick stop at a private […]
And the long and winding road I am 469 miles long to be precise. I am bookended in the north by Shenandoah National Park and in the south by Great Smoky Mountains National Park. To paraphrase Mick Jagger: “Pleased to meet you, can you guess my name?” If you guessed the Blue Ridge Parkway you […]
Yep, I have finished my stay in ADK. I took photos of over 4300 campsites at 27 campgrounds, finishing up with the largest and most popular, Fish Creek. The last five I visited were all within 30 miles of Lake Placid, except for Cranberry Lake. Tack on another 40 miles for that one. From here […]
Daffy Duck I couldn’t tell what I was seeing. Some weird kind of fish, maybe a bass. I asked my buddy Fred the Gull. He took a look and then rendered his opinion. “Duck Butts.” “What Butts?” “Duck Butts. They’re upside down eating weeds or whatever it is those birds eat.” I looked again. Fred […]
Yep, I am back in The Empire State. Been here the two weeks since I wrote my last blog post. Why so long? I have taken photographs at 12 campgrounds so far totaling well over 1500 campsites. And that is not even half of the campgrounds I plan on visiting in ADK. So lets just […]
And Park Ranger gets a treat from the ice cream man. I thought I had seen everything during my many years of camping. I was wrong… But let’s get caught up first. After leaving Half Moon Pond State Park I headed north a bit to Branbury. This is a smaller park with less than 40 […]
And spiders from Mars I have seen all sorts of spiders during my camping trips. From big hairy Tarantulas in New Mexico to bizarre Cigarette Butt spiders in Florida. Even the elusive Giant Tree Spiders of Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite. They are really nasty and will eat all your tacos. But what about spiders that […]
My first stop after Lily Bay was Mount Blue State Park. It is the largest campground in Maine with over 8000 acres of land split into two areas. The campground is at Webb Beach while the majority of the land is across the lake encompassing Mount Blue and Center Hill with miles of great hiking […]
And maybe a moose. I left Acadia National Park last Sunday morning, but not before one last taco dinner. Followed by a failed fire due to wet wood. Just wouldn’t stay lit. But the firewood was free. Yep, they provide a generous daily allowance. So I headed a whopping 25 miles northeast to Lamoine State […]
Or at least improve your chances! As anyone who has ever tried it knows, reserving a campsite online at any of the popular campgrounds is about as tough as getting tickets to the Masters, Olympics or Super Bowl. This is especially true on popular weekends or during the summer. After countless attempts and years of […]
