2023 Week 24/25 – Road Trip!
What’s Going On:*Warning* This will be a LONG post covering a week-long trip with lots of links, photos, and me rambling on for a while. It was nice to return to a 3-day weekend after a week on the road last week (more on that later). Besides getting the tent out to dry off, I…

2022-Week 44 – The Colors!
The fall foliage has been amazing this year, and we’ve enjoyed the burst of color in the trees around the house. I took some time off to go camping in my new favorite place, Hardin Ridge (in the Hoosier National Forest). All the loops are closed except for one, and there are minimal amenities, but…

2022 Week 16 – Road Trip! (Part 1)
The weather has finally warmed up and it’s time to hit the road for the first camping trip of the year. One of my favorite places to camp in Southern Indiana is Indian-Celina Lake, about 25 miles south of French Lick. I prefer National (federal) properties over state properties as the camp sites are spaced…

2022 Week 14 – Not All Trees Have Padding
As the temps start to stabilize, it’s getting closer to camping season. I’ve wanted to purchase a small camper but the logistics of licensing, storing, and towing are a little overwhelming (and expensive) right now. At the minimum, I’d have to upsize my existing vehicle for anything but the tiniest of teardrop trailers, and with…

2022 Week 11 – We Were Robbed
It’s been nice being out of the house this week after isolating for a week with Covid. There are weekends when I don’t leave the house but an entire week was tough. On the plus side I was super productive working remotely and actually enjoyed working from the house this time as opposed to when…

2021 Week 31 – Bug Off
The last 4 posts were a recap of my week-long trip to OH, PA & NY to visit the Allegheny National Forest. With the daily rain, and summer temps, the mosquitos were out and looking for blood but I brought a solution to that… After seeing ads and reviews over the past year I decided…

2021 Week 29 – First Summer Road Trip (Part 3)!
Last week we ended up in Buffalo, NY after visiting Cleveland and Niagara Falls. This time around we’re going to dip into the Allegheny National Forest and get away from the city. We left Buffalo around 9am and started our journey south. Ever since I was a kid I remember seeing barns and billboards along…

2021 Week 22 – Camping Do Over
May last camping trip was a wash out so I decided to try it again last weekend. This time there was no rain but the temps were a lot higher. I decided to take a different route, bypassing the I-69 construction, and wound my way south through Jasper and Ferdinand, Indiana Ferdinand has a monastery…

2021 Week 20 – Mini Road Trip Part 2
Picking up where we left off last week. After I finished checking out Spring Mill state park I headed to another item on my travel list, Hemlock Cliffs. Located on National Forest Rd, in English Indiana, Hemlock Cliffs is a little out of the way and on this Friday afternoon the parking lot was pretty…
