Adventures in Geocaching – Fort Fisher
We took a recent "last minute spur of the moment" type trip to the beach this past weekend and visited one of our FAVORITE North Carolina State Parks - Fort Fisher.

Adventures in Geocaching – Hagan-Stone Park

I know. I know. I have been really quiet. I have spent the last few months trying to piece my life back together after the death of my Dad and finding the energy to blog has been beyond my capabilities. The last few weeks have brought some beautiful sunshine filled days to North Carolina and … Continue reading State Park Passport – Getting back our groove.

Madagascal Pond, Maine
At the last minute my family decided on a different location altogether from the one previously mentioned in my blog. We stayed in a camp that used to host our annual family reunion back in the day which is located on Madagascal Pond (more like a lake in my opinion) in Penobscot County, Maine. To … Continue reading Madagascal Pond, Maine
