A few weeks ago, we took off in the Jeep with our little teardrop in tow. I always say I’m going to find time to journal all these places we go. I end up falling asleep after a long day of adventure and don’t get to it. God’s Creation is amazing. We got to the campsite late Friday night. Settled…
Raven Rock State Park
My son asked me Thursday evening if I would like to go on a hike with him the next day. I rearranged my work so that I could go. Hybrid work schedules are great – I started working at 5am so I could spend a few hours on the trail with my son. When your son asks to spend time…
Twin Falls, Looking Glass Falls, Sliding Rock -Pisgah National Forest
This was from two years ago. I should get better about publishing my posts. LOL Not far off the Blue Ridge Parkway, you’ll find Sliding Rock waterfall, Looking Glass waterfall and Twin Falls. The Pisgah National Forest is absolutely beautiful. I wrote an entire post weeks ago on these falls and ended up not publishing it. Story of my life!…
Rainbow Falls
I wrote this sometime in 2023….. never published it. Oops. Sometime last month, we hiked to Rainbow Falls. True to its name, there was a rainbow at the falls. It was a little cold the day we went, but we bundled up and braved the mud. Just past Rainbow Falls, there are two more falls. One is Turtleback Falls. Ghost…
Cathedral Falls
We headed to West Virginia for a quick day trip to New River Gorge National Park. The park is a 3 hour drive from our home. I thought it would be neat to see this waterfall with the low temps we’ve been having. It is right off the road, however, the trail was frozen solid. At one point, I just…
Beech Mountain Summit Trail
Our 5th and last day in Maine. 😰 4th day at Acadia National Park. Yes, way back in October. I’m not a very good blogger, am I!? We hiked 3 miles- we made it to the summit of Beech mountain. There was a lot of rock scrambling on the way up, but we did it! Gorgeous views- especially on top.…
Kokadjo, Maine
On our 4th day in Maine, we headed north to Kokadjo. We wanted to see a moose in the wild. We found Lazy Tom’s Bog in Kokadjo and paddled there for several hours. We came across a very large beaver dam which was really cool! Beavers create entire ecosystems with their dams! These bogs are important for all sorts of…
Grace Tree Farm
Friday after work, we drove to Grace Tree Farm to cut our own Christmas tree. It’s a new Christmas tradition. This year, we brought the huskies. Shadow is 12 1/2 now and is struggling to get up and down. At night, we use belly bands because he was having accidents. They work great! Grace Tree Farm is a Christian owned…
Acadia Day 3: Carriage Roads
Acadia National park has about 45 miles of carriage roads. No cars are allowed on the carriage roads; it is open for hiking, horses and cycling. Absolutely stunning beauty all around. I am so glad that we decided to bring our bikes to ride along the carriage roads. On day 3, we rode our bicycles 25 miles around the carriage…
Back to Maine Day 2 – Lighthouses
On our second day, we accomplished quite a bit. We got up early to drive into Bar Harbor for a lighthouse boat tour. It was freezing, but we stuck it out. At one point, we were the only people on the top deck of the boat. As we got back to the house, the moon was beautiful. I was able…
