August 30, 2024 After two nights of terrible sleep, I finally got a full night of uninterrupted sleep. I woke up refreshed Friday morning so I decided to take Ash for a hike at Mammoth Cave National Park.

Acadia National Park
August 17, 2024 We only had two events worth posting about in our brief time in Maine. I will be covering our entire stay on this post, but the bulk of it will be spent talking about our trip to Acadia National Park.
South Kent Pond via Appalachian Trail
Gifford Woods State ParkKillington, VT July 13 While Brandy got caught up on sleep after her hellacious two weeks in Oregon, Ash and I took a hike on the South Kent Pond via Appalachian Trail.
Texas Falls Recreation Area
Hancock, Vermont July 14 With Brandy recovering from a night of drinking, Ash and I took a hike at the Texas Falls Recreation Area near Hancock, VT.
Thundering Brook Falls Trail
Killington, VT July 7 The checkout from the AirBnB near Cooperstown, NY, was by 9:00, by far the earliest checkout time I’ve ever dealt with. I knew it was only a three and a half hour drive to our next AirBnB in Vermont and check-in there wasn’t until 4:00 (pretty late check-in.) I did find […]
Niagara Falls State Park
July 5 I specifically picked Hamburg, NY, for our second night after leaving Iowa thanks to its close proximity to our next stop, Niagara Falls. A short 30 minute drive from the Motel 6 would allow me to try to beat the holiday weekend crowd that was sure to be there.

Welcome back to part 2 of my report on our trip to Cannon Beach, Oregon, the second stop on the Greens Summer Tour. Part two picks up right where part one left off, seeing us pick up on my Thursday after work adventure.
The Greens Summer Tour – Cannon Beach, OR, Part 1
June 13 – 27 After our week-long visit to Gunnison, Colorado, and a brief three day visit to our home base in Ottumwa, the Greens Summer Tour of 2024 continued on with a trip to Cannon Beach, OR. This part of the trip was so jam-packed with excitement that I’m going to break it into […]
Canon City, Crested Butte, CO Part 1
This was another one of those trips where we did so much, I’ll have to break it into many more easily digestible posts. This post, I will be talking about our departure and our visit to Canon City and will lead us up to the end of week number one when we depart for Crested […]
Garden of the Gods, Colorado Spring, CO
February 19 After looking for things to do in and around Canon City, I discovered that Garden of the Gods was in Colorado Springs which is only an hour away from Canon City. We added it our to-do list and I did my requisite deep dive to discover as much as I could about it.
