Wyndham at Fairfield Glade 7-2013

Left on Monday July 15 on a 6-7 hour drive to the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee arriving about 6 pm. After checking in to our lockoff unit we went to the Mirror Lake Blast, live music on the lake with kettle corn and grilled hot dogs available. Beautiful day and perfect temperature. Next day we went to Dartmoor Marina closeby for a canoe trip around the lake looking at beautiful homes on the lake and watched a hole of golf at a green on the lake shore. Afterward we swam at the beach and laid on the grass for a nap and reading. Evening at home in the room.

Next day drove an hour to Fall Creek Falls State Park and hiked 3 1/2 miles to the falls after lounging at the Cane Creek Cascades for an hour or so. Evening meal fried chicken buffet and pasta buffet at the Legends Golf Club.

Next day hiked at Cumberland Mountain State Park, then lounged at St. George Marina before Prime rib buffet at Legends again. Home Friday.

This is not good for wheelchair access or kids---all activities need car to get there.

First trip in the RV 2013

7-1-2013

C's first day of retirement was July first. We started our camping season later than usual this year and took our first trip in the Roadtrek Thursday and Friday July 11 and 12 to the Hocking Hills where we camped at the Top O the Caves campground and hiked Old Mans Cave and Cedar Falls. Will see if I can figure out how to get a pic we took at Cedar Falls on here so we can include some pics in our blogs.

How This All Started

As we begin our season of travel (season being the state of retirement), we hope to record our ventures primarily to help us look back on the fun we have had but also to let our friends and relatives keep track of our whereabouts if they would like. At first it will be fairly simple written comments but may evolve to photo records too as we learn to use Picasa which should work well with this platform. Our first comments may be us learning to use a blog and preparation for the big trip this fall. You are welcome to peek into our world whenever you would like .... and I think this allows you to make comments if you want to .... if we get the settings right.

Since we are not really familiar with public blogs and are a little uncomfortable advertising when we are not at home, we will not include any personally identifying information. And, who knows, these may not even be our real names .... but those of you who know us will have the algorithm for determining who we really are, lol.

So long for now ..... we'll be back when we have something to say to you or to ourselves. ....P
