2015-04-04 Winton Woods Campground

Just a quick update for the first camping outing of the 2015 season. (Yay!) We managed to get out last weekend and kept it local and went to Winton Woods, a county park in Hamilton County, Ohio. Great campground, very clean and updated but always crowded and hard to get a site. Need reservation well in advance in most cases, if you want a good site anyway. Sites 8 - 12 & site 50 are pretty good although 50 is a little uneven but nobody on your campsite side and it's opposite the fishing dock. Also full hook up site 13F is a good one, right on the lake. In these pictures we were in site 8, right on the lake. First three pictures are kind of a semi circular walk around the campsite and T@B.

2014-06-14 - Indian Springs Campground

Just a quick blog post, we went camping at a campground we hadn't been to before and to a car show a co-worker was in with his newly rebuilt '68 Triumph. The show was in Aurora, IN right near the campground which is why we chose this campground, plus since we hadn't been to this CG before, thought it would be different. The campground was nice but no amenities and extremely close to interstate I-275 in North Bend, OH right on the Ohio/Indiana border, literally RIGHT on the border. The CG is great for an overnight stay for snowbirders heading North/South but as a destination campground it's pretty lame.

2013-11-28 Thanksgiving At Hunting Island, SC

Carie & I went down to South Carolina this Thanksgiving week to visit mom. We took the T@B and spent a few days at mom's and a few days at Hunting Island State Park. It was a great visit and a highlight was hand feeding a wild deer at our campsite late one night! We pulled in from visiting at mom's and the deer was at my birdfeeder gorging itself so we got out poured some more food on the picnic table and she came back so I grabbed a handful and she cautiously came over to eat. Pretty cool and Carie loved it!!!
