Quabache State Park

Quabache State Park
Bluffton, Indiana


Trail 5 all the way around the Park. It's just amazing to me how truly beautiful it is in the woods. It feels like you step into another world and leave the stresses of life behind.

Black Swamp Park

Trail 1 
Black Swamp Park
Paulding, Oho

I'm a little ashamed of how short of a walk this was. I wanted to explore all of the trails while we were there but we went late evening and the Mosquitos were awful. Will definitely go back another day to finish.

Moncks Corner, SC

This was just a short drive from where our son lives. This day was hot and buggy but I loved the walk along the Cooper River. Partly wet marsh and part trails. Good hiking condition other than a few more signs needed to follow the trail.

Cypress Gardens, Moncks Corner, SC

Friday, July 26, 2013

We went to visit our oldest son Brad and his wife Megan for vacation. He is in the Navy and currently lives only 10 minutes from Cypress Gardens. It was hot and a bit muggy and buggy at the end of July, but not just too miserable. It was only $10 per person and self rowing the boats was free. I was a bit disappointed we didn't see more alligators but they said it was too hot for them to be out. We did not walk every single path, but took the main outside paths all the way around. 

Total distance hiked - 1.79 miles
