Myakka River State Park
This turned out to be the very last trip Bob took before he died Thanksgiving 2022… I sold the RV and am looking for a smaller trailer like our first one…😞
It was a late fall trip….and a bit of a downer….the walking trails were far away and not worth the effort Buffy and I put out to see them, plus it rained most of the time…
Then, on our way out of the camp ground, at the entrance parking lot, I noticed a flat tire….lucky it was easy to fix…unlucky that it took over six hours for them to get to us, and we had to drive home in the dark and rain….very, very scary….

Disney Christmas
Really been using my Disney pass this month…trying to see all the decorations and get all the Christmas photos….putting them on the photo pass page, here (https://campingscrapbook.blogspot.com/p/disney-photo-pass-and-magic-shots.html) but here’s a couple for fun…
Also, just discovered the passport frames in the lands at Epcot…my next goal after Christmas…should have a few more, but for some reason they don’t always show up…
Still need to get some scrapbook pages made with all these…soon!

Stuck at Home
Well, due to the Covid and some health issues in the family, we didn’t get our summer trip this year. But I have to scrap....so I’m going to add things to the special pages. I also added a new page ‘places to go’....I’ll add some older stuff from before I started keeping the blog, and just some general, local or cool places.
Like this rainy day golf page from a few months ago....

High Falls State Park, Georgia
Well, we should have been in Alaska this week...but with the border closed...🤷♀️
Figured we’d take a few short trips...this was the first...Just four nights..it was a seven hour Drive..
First full day, Bob went to play golf. Buffy and I got ready to explore. The river was right across the street, but couldn’t really get a good view or easily get down to it, unless we went up or down a little ways so we did both.
To get to the first trail, go down the exit road. It’s right beside the dumpsters and dump station...if you follow the right hand path it comes out across from the short path that goes to the bridge and dam....if you cross the bridge you come to the other section of the park and the waterfall trail.
This is the boating area....also another campground...down the street is the bridge, dam, and mill.
This is the river from the entrance road...to get here walk up from campground one (lots 1-89) it’s off to the side on the Right...if you look you’ll see several paths down to the rocks...
We also walked down to the road and went over to the other section of the park where the boat dock, dam, and old mill are.
Full Day Two, I went to the Atlanta zoo...it was a mess...The GPS took me to the new entrance which wasn’t finished...there were no signs anywhere...I parked on the street and wandered around the street about 30 minutes...no entrance..no signs..no one knew...finally a jogger I met as I was giving up and heading back to my car, gave me directions...wasn’t really a great zoo...exhibits were okay and roomy, just not much to see...
Across the street from the payment booth are the two walk ways to the waterfall...I personally wouldn’t call it a waterfall..more of some mild rapids...the left hand path is a steep, longish trail to the river...it dead ends so you have to go back the same direction...there is also a path (pretty close to the beginning) that leads to a dead end of brush...I think someone moved the markers there...
Then The right hand path, has steps and rails straight down to the water..

Cruise to the Panama Canal
how my photos disappeared. Didn't do much. Ate
Went to the comedy club, played at the casino (still lost) and packed. So a slow easy day. Debarked early with the Platinum Club perk, Then the drive back home, without stopping...we had a 8 plus hour drive, lost an hour in the time zone cross, and still made it to bowling at 6:30.
