Hiking Devil’s Hall
March 4th, 2009 
Cheryl Why is it that just about every tourist or scenic area in this country has to name some feature or trail Devii’s something-or-other?

Merry Christmas
December 25th, 2008 Cheryl Today we decided to drive around instead of just sitting in the camper on Christmas Day. We took off from Truth or Consequences and drove towards Silver City, NM.

August 27th, 2008 Cheryl DAY 1 Summerfield, FL to Eufaula, AL Today was a travel day. After last night’s 4am wake-up from the Propane Gas detector yet again (we were up about an hour this time trying to figure out why it was going off, then waiting for the detector to stop alerting by opening ALL the windows in […]
Florida’s Highest Waterfall
May 8th, 2003 Cheryl Today we visited Florida’s Highest Waterfall in Falling Waters State Park located near Chipley, FL in the northwestern panhandle of the state. Wait a minute – did I just say FLORIDA’S highest waterfall? Yes, I did. Who knew, right? The state of Florida is about as close to sea level as one can get without […]
