Father and Son

The original was terrible because phone cameras are so limited.   So,  I tried playing with photo editing (guess what section I’m learning about now in my NYIP photography classes?)  Anyway this came out pretty cool.   I love getting pictures of my two men when theyaren’tlooking.  We are at Sebago State Park Campground for 2 nights…

Boondocking Stop No. 1

Current Temperature 81° Current location : Brunswick, Ga Love’s Truck Stop Pulled into Love’s for gas and dinner.   It looks like “parking” is far in the back.  No one else is here and no one has said anything, so for our fellow boondockers, it looks like it is an okay stop over.  We are only…

Then there’s the dry bag for the canoe…
