Just added June 20 to June 24. Sorry still no pics. Enjoy

A fairly relaxing day today. We went and walked about a mile up the road to Cravings for breakfast. We each had a very good breakfast burrito. After getting back to the motel, we went over the grocery list. Carol was going down to the Dollar general with Shannon and I am going to walk […]

We had a good nights sleep in our room at the Antlers Motel. Today, they will move us from the handicap room to the room we have reserved for the next two nights. We get a text from Shannon around 0800 saying that they are at the highway and waiting for a ride to town. She […]

This time on the trail is very different. It is not different from a hiking perspective but is very different from a journal perspective. I am having trouble finding computers to type the journals on and doing it from my phone is very problematic. In Europe, I carried an I-pad to type on but not […]

I had kind of a restless sleep last night as I heard some critters stirring about. I believe it was deer and they never seemed to come near the tent but I could hear them moving in the woods. Shannon and Kym left before we were done packing up. When we are almost ready to […]

We woke up this morning to the sound of the Scottish Brothers breaking their camp. They each have their own tent and last evening when they set up, they got in their tents and talked to each other non stop for about 2 hours. I am not sure what you could talk about that long […]

Last night, I heard something by my head. It woke me up and when I moved, I could hear it running through the woods. I listened for a while and determined that it did not sound like a bear, too nimble, so I thought that it was probably a deer. When I woke up in […]

Today, I have been retired 4 years. It is hard to believe it has been that long. We have made the most of these early retirement years. A 90 day trip to Europe in 2012 right after we retired was a very memorable trip. 2013 was not a good year with Carol dealing with breast […]

Breakfast was served at 0800 and we went down around 0730 for coffee. I met Shannon and we discussed my itinerary, camping spots, and maps. Sonia was also there as well as some friends of the owners from Arizona. The breakfast was very good and included a nice fruit cup, veggie omelet, orange juice, coffee, […]

A good nights sleep was had under the stars on our thick foam mattresses. Terry and Nancy serve us all a very hearty breakfast. There is fresh fruit, eggs, and biscuits and gravy. I think Carol would be happy just in the fact that there was fresh coffee. I do believe that we had more […]
