For Spring Holidays we set out to visit all of Kentucky’s NPS sites. We felt confident that we could knock out all five NPS sites in a week for a big sense of accomplishment. With a late start Sunday we planned to stop for our first ever boondocking experience. We called ahead and were approvedContinue reading “Mammoth Cave NP”

Stone Mountain Park
It was K’s opening day of baseball and being the sports fanatics we are, that is something we could not miss. But every state park within two hours of the game was booked on this beautiful spring-like weekend. Not to worry, there was room at Stone Mountain. Although we did not get one of theContinue reading “Stone Mountain Park”
Hard Labor Creek State Park
Hard Labor Creek State Park is the second largest state park in Georgia. It has 51 spacious, mostly private campsites, and many have some sort of water view of either Hard Labor Creek or Lake Brantley. There is also a golf, putt putt, new looking cabins, a beach, and miles and miles of trails, includingContinue reading “Hard Labor Creek State Park”
Meet Pe@rl, our new T@b 400 Boondock
We decided a small RV, that we could tow behind a car, would propel us on our goal to visit national parks and state parks. We watched countless YouTube videos and read blogs describing various types of small RVs. We began to look at RVs in person. When we saw the T@b 400 at SouthlandContinue reading “Meet Pe@rl, our new T@b 400 Boondock”
Chattahoochee Bend State Park
Our maiden voyage with our 2022 T@b 400 Boondock teardrop camper was a two night trip to Chattahoochee Bend SP. Our months of preparation paid off, and the first trip in “Pe@rl” was a success. We cooked several meals, set up all of the accessories that we have collected in the past several months, andContinue reading “Chattahoochee Bend State Park”
Fort Mantanzas NM
The Spanish completed Fort Matanzas in 1742 to defend the southern approach to their military settlement at St Augustine which lay 14 miles to the north, on the Matanzas River. Made of coquina, the small fort housed five cannons and a contingent of just seven soldiers. The fort is the only example of a watchtowerContinue reading “Fort Mantanzas NM”
George T. Bagby State Park
Bagby has a lodge, marina, and cabins, but no camping. It has peaceful lake views and a day use area with a beach and playground area. The good news for us was that Cotton Hill Campground was directly across the water from the marina. It is a Core of Engineers camping area that you reserveContinue reading “George T. Bagby State Park”
Florence Marina State Park
Joe has many fond memories of the marina since his family kept a house boat here for many years (see the photo above). His family’s houseboat was in the slip on the far left of the above photo and his Uncle Joe Jr.’s houseboat was in the slip beside the boat with Christmas tree. FlorenceContinue reading “Florence Marina State Park”
Providence Canyon State Park
Providence Canyon’s unofficial moniker of the Little Grand Canyon is well deserved. The views are stunning, particularly from the 2.5 mile loop trail where we hiked today. Although we have hiked many trails inside the canyon, the loop trail at the top provided a different sort of view of the 150-feet deep canyon and multi-coloredContinue reading “Providence Canyon State Park”
