I was excited. I was going to visit the highest state park in Georgia. Enjoy spectacular views and wonderful hiking opportunities. But it didn’t happen. The Mist happened. I left Vogel State Park a week ago Sunday after a final creekside taco dinner on Saturday evening. The rain started that night and continued for a […]

Last Friday I arrived at Mistletoe State Park. I have been heading northwest following the Savannah River from the Georgia coast. There are several dams that have created lakes and Mistletoe’s 93 sites are situated along the shore of 72,000 acre Clarks Hill Lake. My site, number 75, was simply gorgeous. Before I walked the […]

Last Friday I visited Wekiwa Springs State Park near Orlando. This is a very popular campground due to it’s proximity to Disney World and the swimming opportunities in the spring. There are 60 campsites here and almost all are big and level, like number 26. But if you happen to find a spot that is […]

My first stop after leaving Rocky Bayou State Park was Falling Waters State Park. It is a small campground with only two dozen sites but it has several claims to fame. The campsites are located on one of the highest mountains in Florida. 324 feet above sea level. So make sure to acclimate yourself to […]

But first, a few bridges… I like bridges. My Brother Mike, not so much. Lately I have been sending him pictures of the bridges I have been crossing just to get on his nerves. So I figured I would share a really neat one here. It’s called the Dauphin Causeway or Bridge or something like […]

Do you know what The Big Muddy is? Here is a clue. It flows by The Big Easy. Here is another clue. That is where I was on July 22nd last year, at Itasca State Park in Minnesota, where I waded across the beginning of the Mississippi River. I guess you could call it The […]

Campgrounds around San Antonio! Texas is a huge state. The drive across Interstate 10 from El Paso to Beaumont covers around 950 miles west to east. A trip from Brownsville north to Amarillo covers 800 miles. In fact, Texas is the second largest state with 261,797 square miles. California is a distant third at 155,959 […]

What a long strange trip it’s been… Yeah, but there is much more ahead. I thought I would share some of my favorite photos from the last eight months. Some that never even made the blog posts. The trip started here, more or less. Actually about 300 miles southwest on the coast. Doesn’t matter. That’s […]

We get more Northern California State Park campgrounds and run into a few angry birds! Real angry. But that comes later. When I am on the road I keep a sort of schedule. About once a week I process photos of all the campgrounds I have visited and write a blog post. I back up […]

Greg makes his way further west and visits many California Coastal Campgrounds! The Golden State. The Golden Beaches. The Golden Bars you need to pay the State Park camping fees. Ah yes, good old California. It has been a busy week. I left the Mammoth Lakes area last Friday and drove 65 miles north and […]
