We stayed at Holiday Point Marina in Franklin Furnace, OH for Labor Day weekend. Haven’t heard of Franklin Furnace? Not a lot there. The docks were fine, the power good, they had a free washer and dryer and loaned us a car to go gro…

Monday message, huh? Looks as if a few Mondays have slipped by, but here we are and it is Monday! Onward and upward…..
Wheeling, WVA. We ate dinner in a little pub—the only waterfront eatery we could find. We’d …
More Fun
More fun than sitting on a whoopee cushion – launched from the boat voluntarily and otherwise. Voluntarily: The standing wave at the entrance rapids to the Olympic course really pops raft sterns up in the air. Some guides use this […]
Olympic Moment
Want that Olympic moment? Buy a kayak rig. Maybe consider adding a face mask to the helmet. Don’t forget the nose clip for the inevitable rolls under water. Practice and then go up to the upper Ocoee River to the Olympice whitewater course from the ’96 Olympics. On Saturday morning they open a valve at […]
Ohio River Down Bound Part I (Aug 15 to Aug 31)

He knows the TV pickers and now is their landlord for their retail store in Nashville, Antique Archealogy. Now that’s an interesting name and probably an effective one when seeking to take old […]
Spruce Flats Falls
Most images have stories. This image has two and will have another one in October. The falls are a mile hike up and along ridges off from an educational center in the National Park. We saved this gem for the last morning because of the length of the walk in. The results speak for themselves. […]
Woody’s World
A number of year’s ago visitors to our summer home had the chance to see a piliated woodpecker in our yard. They were all excited because the only woodpecker they had seen was Woody and they thought they were seeing Woody. So ever since piliated woodpeackers have been Woodys. The park here really belongs to […]
Ghosts and Shadows
Tucked away in the far Northwest corner of the Great Smoky Mountians National Park is this marvellous corner of the world, Cades Cove. The Park Service has been manicuring it and refining it since the forties. In doing so they must have consulted with the art department from National Geogrpahic Publications. If they didn’t then […]
