Ok, I’m home now from that wonderful week at Big Creek Campground. You can bet that campground is on my list for a repeat trip!
In the meantime, I’ve done a bit of digital housekeeping on this blog app. And I’m prepping a few new blog posts for your pleasure prior to my next camping trip.
One of the things I do with this blog is keep track of all of the countries from which someone reads this blog. The list is getting long! Here’s the current list of 56 countries …
Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Cayman Islands, Chile, China, Columbia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Laos, Latvia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Seychelles, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Switzerland, Tanzania, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, USA, Vietnam.
I’m surprised and pleased that many people from many of these countries are repeat readers. If anyone from any country would like to comment, please do so.
Which brings me to the “comment” part of the blog. I love comments! Please feel free to comment on the photos … which one is your favorite, identify plants/flowers for me, etc. Please feel free to share information that I haven’t included about where I’ve been … or information about other similar locations that you’ve been to … or your own stories of camping at the same place I’ve been to … or other places I might like. Please share technical information about trailering or the truck and how you do things that might help me or that are just different from the way I do things. It all helps. Tell a joke, ask a question, share information, or just say hi … all comments are welcome.
Also … please share this blog with friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and other folks you know who are/were RVers/campers, and with anyone who isn’t a camper. Some of the regular readers of this blog are folks who likely never will go RVing, so they get to enjoy camping through this blog. Here’s the link to share: http://travelswithtowhee.com/.
Click on photos to enlarge them. The photos I post here are small versions of my original photos. If you dream of having a copy of any particular photo, just let me know and I will email the original large one to you.
I think that’s it for now as far as “housekeeping” is concerned. I’ll leave you with two photos below. I sometimes mention that I don’t sit and read and relax around the campsite as much as some other campers do. I’m usually up and around and out and about in the big white truck exploring and enjoying the surrounding area.
These two photos below will give you an idea of why I don’t sit and read for very long. Both photos were taken by friends of mine. Both photos were taken of me while I was on my 1940 Matthews cruising sedan powerboat a few years ago.
Both photos were taken right after I had put my book down …
That is (was) my dog, Alex, in the photo above. She didn’t care about reading either, and was always happy to fall asleep in my arms even with her life jacket on.
In both photos I’m sound asleep! In fact, in the second photo, you can see my friend reflected in the window as he took the photo while standing on the dock next to my boat. He told me later that my book (that I had been reading) had simply fallen in a heap onto the floor … I hadn’t even bothered to set it aside. Friends of mine used to tease me when I told them I was going to sit down and read … they all knew what would happen in short order. Eventually, I just gave up and said “hey, I’m going to go have a nap!”
So, in the end, my thought is for everyone to do what you enjoy, see things that please you, live where you want to, love whom you wish, read any darned book you want to, and sleep whenever it suits you. It works for me! 🙂
