Everyone knows inflation has gone through the roof. To make matters worse, shrinkflation seems to be a growing trend as well.

Date Visited: July 2008 Making our way through Georgia on the way back to Florida from Tennesse in the year 2008, we stopped by a place known to many conspiracy theorists and tin hat wearers around the globe. Yes, I'm talking about the Georgia Guidestones, otherwise known as "America's Stonehenge". Sadly, at 4 a.m. on... Continue Reading →
OMG! This is hilarious! I guess I was flagged just because the words Police K9 were in the title. Watch the video and tell me if you find any violence, nudity, or sensitive material in the video.

You can watch it below or on our YouTube channel. https://youtu.be/bx3Ps2H_BJA This was the first video filmed with our new camera equipment. We realized soon enough... Continue Reading →
We feel like we aren't connecting 😦 I know this is in part because: 1) The content we provide is widely available. 2) We don't do a lot of social media marketing. We don't FACEBOOK (not now/not ever); we don't get into twitter arguments or post mean tweets; and since we travel at times, we... Continue Reading →

Date Visited: 1/12/2020 Opened in 1940 as one of the original nine state parks in the Florida Park Service, O'Leno (Old Leno), is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay.

Date Visited: 1/12/2020 Okay, we all know I'm a little overweight, out of shape, over 50 and have an ongoing battle with heart-disease and diabetes, so I almost talked myself out of visiting this state park because I knew there were a number of stairs I'd have to ascend after descending to see the sink...

Date Visited: 1/6/2020 & 08/03/2022 (Camped) For hundreds of years, Blue Spring and the surrounding area provided food, clothing, shelter and the materials needed to fabricate tools and weapons to the Timucuan Indians.
