Saturday was our last hiking day of the trip and we saved the longest for the last. Our goal was to see as many arches as possible in the Arches National Park. And I am proud to say that Diana and I saw all the major arches except for one (The Tapestry Arch), and countless… Read more

I made it to Virginia with a bit of fun along the way. Before leaving NC, I visited another Harvest Host location in Weldon – Weldon Mills Distillery (I really should limit my stays at Distilleries, Breweries and Wineries. They let me stay for free, but I feel I should at least SAMPLE the goods!)… Read more

Look who’s back! Everyone, this is Melanie. She’s all over. Nice of her to join me again for a few days. Now I’m even further north in Georgia – I had a reservation at one campsite and they called me last week to say they weren’t going to be open in time, BUT they have… Read more
