Visiting the Wheeler Dam Locks

September 15, 2024 On September 10 (Tuesday), we drove the truck to the Wheeler dam locks viewing area after the final walkthrough of the house. Wheeler dam and Wheeler State Park aren’t very far from our new house. There is a parking lot above the locks, with a picnic table and grassy area. There is […]

Time at Jekyll Island, Georgia

June 3, 2024 While we were at Jekyll Island (May 1 to May 15), all of my father-in-law’s children and spouses came for his 90th birthday. Almost all of his grandchildren (just one couldn’t make it) made it and all of the great-grandchildren made it. Nox was delighted to see our daughter. My daughter misses […]

Campfire and Hotdogs and Marshmallows Cooked Over the Coals

June 1, 2024 On April 29, we decided to sit outside and have a campfire in the lovely weather. Bruce got the campfire going. We enjoyed watching it while we sat in our camp chairs listening to the sound of the cicadas. Our next door neighbors had hitched up their RV and headed home, so […]

Walking Around Claystone Park at Lake Tobesofkee in Georgia

June 1, 2024 We enjoyed walking around Claystone Park at the end of April. We walked to the beach and enjoyed watching the children running into the water and splashing it. As we walked around, we saw miniature cars being raced in a large parking lot. I enjoyed seeing flowers as we walked back to […]

Cicadas Buzzing at Claystone Park in Georgia

May 31, 2024 While in Claystone Park (April 24 to May 1), the loud, constant metallic sound we heard sounded like big man-made machines. Bruce discovered there was a shredding company nearby and it seemed reasonable that was making the noise. Since the noise seemed to come from different spots, we thought the lake and […]

Butterfly Habitat Garden at Claystone Park on Lake Tobesofkee in Georgia

May 31, 2024 We enjoyed walking in Claystone Park. The trails are well kept. We decided to go see the butterfly habitat near the entrance of the park. There was a volunteer working on the garden. She mentioned that not many butterflies were out due to the weather. Since there was a sign saying dogs […]

May 30, 2024 Since we needed to be at Jekyll Island Campground on May 1, we left Scenic Drive RV Campground just outside of Oxford, Alabama on April 24 and headed to Lake Tobesofkee Claystone Park in Macon, Georgia. This is a lovely state park. Each campsite had a picnic table and a fire ring. […]

Hiking to Bald Rock in Cheaha State Park in Alabama

May 13, 2024 After being at the highest point in Alabama, we rode the motorcycle to the trailhead for Bald Rock. Bruce asked me to get off the motorcycles so he could back into a parking spot. I got off the motorcycle and managed to slip. Fortunately, I wasn’t hurt since I was fully geared […]

Highest Point in Alabama, Cheaha Mountain in Cheaha State Park

May 13, 2024 On April 22 (Monday), we rode the motorcycle to Cheaha State Park. We stopped in at the camp store. Bruce filled up the motorcycle with gas while I looked around. I was rather surprised to find they are trying to extend the Appalachian Trail into Alabama. We rode to the top of […]

Arkansas City, Arkansas Area

April 18, 2024 On April 17, we went to pick up Bruce’s scripts in McGehee, Arkansas. On the way, we made a slight detour to Dermott, Arkansas for BBQ. We stopped in at Dermott BBQ. The BBQ was good, but not as good as Hoots in McGehee. Dermott is a town that has seen better […]
