"..They Don't Serve Breakfast in Hell."
Aug 7, 2008 (6 photos)

We do, however, serve breakfast at our camp. Pancakes and sausage to be specific. Elizabeth and I went on some more rides, but I had to be back to make the spaghetti. This was the other meal that I volunteered to fix, but some one else paid for the ...

Singin' in the Rain

Despite going to bed at 12:30, I awoke at 6:20. Usually, there is no line for the showers on Thursday, as everyone is going home. I decided to chance it and there were 4 open showers. When I got out, there was a line. I can't recall a time when it ...

This isn't your Mother's Kitchen

I'm a camping purist. To me, if you aren't sleeping in a tent or out under the stars, you aren't camping.  Meals should be cooked over an open fire or on one of those Coleman stoves. Coffee should percolate in a blue ceramic pot.  Somehow, to ...

... between.  It's kind of different travelling here than Canada, as neither of us has a good idea of the size of the states, so it's hard to judge progress, but the interstate highways are great, good condition, great signage, and good rest stops (we're ...

Darien, Georgia
Nov 18, 2009 (7 photos)

Our campsite was a few miles outside Darien, Georgia; it is Georgia's second oldest city, settled in 1736 and is a very nice area and a perfect place to settle for awhile. It's a great location for sightseeing; from here we visited Savannah and the islands ...

Darien Days
Nov 7, 2009 (4 photos)

We attended Darien Days but did not stay long; it was a bit warm and the gnats were biting.  We rode our bikes and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  The bird houses were hand made with all kinds of items attached to them.
