After leaving the Roosevelt Lake area in AZ I drove through the Superstition Mountains to McDowell Mountain Regional Park near Fountain Hills. There are 76 sites available and I parked in number 5 as the sun went to bed. This park is known for excellent hiking and biking with miles of trails. The sites are […]
For some reason Arizona reminds me of old songs by the Eagles. Take It Easy, Peaceful Easy Feeling, Tequila Sunrise, and of course Desperado. They conjure up images of the stark desert in my mind, broken up by the occasional oasis of green. And prickly things. While almost all the vegetation in the desert can […]
Yep, I am back in the Lone Star State for another visit on my way west. I enjoyed one final sunrise at White Oak Lake in Arkansas before hitting the road. I visited 8 state parks in the last 10 days starting with Ray Roberts Lake. It turned out that there are two different areas […]

Yep, I have finished my stay in ADK. I took photos of over 4300 campsites at 27 campgrounds, finishing up with the largest and most popular, Fish Creek. The last five I visited were all within 30 miles of Lake Placid, except for Cranberry Lake. Tack on another 40 miles for that one. From here […]
Daffy Duck I couldn’t tell what I was seeing. Some weird kind of fish, maybe a bass. I asked my buddy Fred the Gull. He took a look and then rendered his opinion. “Duck Butts.” “What Butts?” “Duck Butts. They’re upside down eating weeds or whatever it is those birds eat.” I looked again. Fred […]
Yep, I am back in The Empire State. Been here the two weeks since I wrote my last blog post. Why so long? I have taken photographs at 12 campgrounds so far totaling well over 1500 campsites. And that is not even half of the campgrounds I plan on visiting in ADK. So lets just […]
