Carolina Calls!!

As much as we have enjoyed our winter in Marathon, Florida, the arrival of spring calls the PUPS, Evin and me back to the PATHS of North and South Carolina.

The photos that follow were taken with my cell phone at or near the cabin or the bike path in Lenoir, NC or the W. Kerr Scott Reservior in Wilkes County, NC and Cheraw State Park in Cheraw, SC...

"Writing" spiders fascinate me!!



 
 
 
 
 



























 
 
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Campground @ W. Kerr Scott Dam & Reservoir in Wilkes County is one of the places we wish to camp in Western North Carolina.
 

How is this for a scenic view?!?!

Carolina is on our minds!!
Always in our hearts!!




Another "Dinosaur" For A Z!!

Doodlebug and I were on our daily bike ride in the warm sun and I thought we might just encounter another iguana. Or, as A Z calls them, "Dinosaurs"...

Why We Hear Michigan & Wisconsin Calling Us!!

 
In May 2010 the PUPS, Evin and I were on Interstate 40 in Tennessee heading to Utah. My cell phone rings and it is our friend Bill Napier. He suggest that we come meet Linda and him in Michigan where Linda and Howard Payne were workamping. After some discussion we altered our PATH and headed for FOUR DAYS in Michigan. We stayed in Michigan and Wisconsin for FOUR MONTHS. I was amazed at all the beautiful flowers, many just on the side of the road...
