Didn’t sleep much last night between the thunderstorms and late arrival to camp. Tried a couple public/stealth spots, no good; tried a truck stop or two, also no good. Secured a last-minute RV park spot way over in Muscle Shoals which was good but a long drive. Took my sweet time this morning and just … Read more
Not much time left before sunset, and it looks like some heavy rain is on the way for the evening (also look at those low temperatures, below freezing even down south!). Time for one last stop before finding a campsite. My first ever stop in Alabama is at the Freedom Hills Overlook near the town … Read more
I came into this spot blind last night just looking for a place to sleep. Randomly winding up at Big Spring in Missouri just searching for a campsite? Pretty fortunate. I broke camp and drove just a short distance outside the campground to find Big Spring but you could walk/hike the Slough Trail if you … Read more
Weather today is again surprisingly hot for October reaching highs above 90°F. Decided to combat that by finding higher elevation at Mount Magazine State Park in Arkansas. There are several access points to the summit; I started from the Cameron Bluff Campground trail head. The trail is very well marked and maintained, and includes an … Read more
Woke up this morning and decided just to drive up towards Taos for no other reason than I’ve never been that direction before and I know there is a ton of scenery to be found. The first leg from Raton going south on 64 is rather unremarkable other than it’s vast empty spaces. That all … Read more
The Needles Highway (SD-87) is a 14-mile scenic drive through some of the best scenery in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It is also part of the larger double-loop Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway. This is by no means an exhaustive guide to the road – just some photos I took during my adventure. Less … Read more
Morning of October 2nd and it’s a bit overcast and dreary, but that makes for great hiking weather. Today we start with a teeny tiny “falls” found via hiking a nice gentle section of the North Country National Scenic Trail in Foster Junction, Wisconsin. The trail starts just off Kornstead and North York Road and … Read more
My plans for the day were completed ahead of schedule which left the afternoon open for exploration. I had already visited Foster Falls back in 2019 but that was from the east side which is limited due to the viewing angles and places to stand. This time I’m heading in on the west side of … Read more
My main destination for today was a spot called Tyler Forks Dells Falls, a series of rapids, falls, and cliffs. I visited back in 2019 but couldn’t find the trail, and couldn’t pull them up online as I had no reception. Today I had maps, cell service, warm temperatures, and nothing but time to explore. I … Read more
Weather forecast today was an unseasonably warm 80 degrees and I wanted a nice spot for lunch with some shade. It just so happened I was near Upson Community Park and today being a weekday meant it was completely deserted. I previously visited in July 2019 but sunlight was harsh that day, so this also … Read more
