I have made the decision to drop this website as it seems to be getting more and more expensive to keep it operational. That coupled with the fact that we are not traveling as much as we once did. Thanks to all who followed our travels. Be safe and have fun. All the...

Tomorrow morning, we will be moving to Tallahassee for about 10 days before heading home. I'll be helping an old friend work on one or more Triumph sports cars in preparation for the National Triumph Convention being held in Dillard, GA, in the fall. We've been parked...

Today is March 28, and our Suwannee River winter stay is coming to an end. We will be moving to Tallahassee on April 9, where we will stay until April 19. After that, we'll be heading home for the summer. There, we have a long list of tasks to accomplish. The winter...

Our fishing luck changed today when we pulled in a 12-pound catfish on our submerged trot line. Until this happened, fishing had been slow for the past couple of weeks. Maybe this will jumpstart our fishing efforts. Posing with the catfish, below, is my 88-year-old...

Yesterday, Mary Alice and I visited Shired Island Park. It is located about 10 miles north of the town of Suwannee and is maintained by Dixie County. Located on the Gulf of Mexico, it features salt water marshes, estuary pools, and a shell mound reputed to be up to...
