Defeated Creek, Carthage, Tennessee

Image
I finally found the info. online ...was trying to recall if it was an Army Corps of Engineers park or state park? ...the hubby & I often joke... We assume that engineers are suppose to be smart, they are paid the big bucks to design things in perfect condition. Or at least plan them in a smart way, right? I must say that each Corps park we stay in ...they are always items we would change or make better.  This is Defeated Creek Campground & yes it is a Army Corps of Engineer park. Enjoy the vlog from that evening. Thanks for stopping by. Take care. Beth ( :

Great Allegheny Passage, Pennsylvania

Amelia Wildlife Management Area, Virginia

Image
The year has been the year of kayaking. When I take pics every time I grab my camera, I think to myself, well this be a shot I wanna share with my family and friends on our Christmas card this year? I usually take a few scenes ... & hopefully one of the hubby and myself included in there as well. This year ...I have tons of kayaking shots. No hubby/myself pics though? Oh well, it might be a year of kayaking views only??!  Enjoy this vlog from that day, hope you have on your good hearing ears today, you don't wanna miss any sounds you might hear??! Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you did enjoy! Take care. Beth ( :

Point Lookout State Park, Maryland & area lighthouses

Image
Where we stayed: Point Lookout State Park, Maryland Fort Lincoln, located within Point Lookout State Park. The only original part that is still at the location is the white barrier wall, all buildings are new, I guess the weather and winds are rough on fort.  Here is a vlog from that day of the sunset view from the state park & a coastline view from Fort Lincoln. I can so see why the fort was so in needs of repair, the winds there are so violent. Drum Point Lighthouse Piney Point Lighthouse & Museum Point Lookout Lighthouse Cove Point Lighthouse I will say that Maryland has pretty tough lighthouses to get to up close, usually you can get better shots, instead of through fences and all that jazz, but at least you can sort of see them? RIGHT??! Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Enjoy these views. Plan a trip soon, such a gorgeous area of Maryland. Beth  ( : 

Grayson Highlands State Park & VA Creep Trail, Virginia

Image
I was going to do 2 separate posts for this camping trip but it was only very quick weekend trip back in July of this year. Enjoy the vlogs from that day. We had a ball, such a great trip!! 1st part was our hike on Wilburn Ridge. 2nd day was our bike trip on the VA Creeper Trail. I think one of the most uncomfortable parts of the trip is riding in a huge van with people you have not a clue who they are... you just know that you are going to all be riding the trail. They van you up the mtn & you bike back to Damascus, VA. It is a 17 mile bike trip. Very easy. Not too much work at all. One of our favorite state parks to camp at in VA is "Grayson Highlands State Park" . We love this area 'cause you have the opportunity to bike the "Virginia Creeper Trail". Yes, we did make another hike adventure to "Wilburn Ridge" . If you click each those names it will take you to our previous trip back in 2015. We took ...

Niagara Falls - New York & Canada

Image
Niagara Falls, New York verses Canadian side? Which is your fave? This was our 2nd visit. Our 1st visit to the Canadian side. FUN to see.  I guess to me, what I notice most about the American side the fact that is more nature, where as the Canadian side is more commercial. Please enjoy the vlog from that day. Here is my thoughts on each of the border crossings ... Canadian - they always want to know will I be taking up a job or whatnot while there? Ok, Canada we were there for maybe 2 hours at the most, how can I get a job that quick? But after watching a show on Netflix all about the Canadian border, I now understand the reason behind asking me about this every time. I get it, now why couldn't they just say that, so silly. American border, they asked us way more ?'s than the Canadian side & we are BORN & RAISED Americans, weird huh? We were walking, not driving. What is the big deal with the border dudes any ways? They wear sunglasses so y...
