Under Adirondack Skies

Family Time and Medical Visits For All
After leaving Huntsville, Texas we spent a few nights at an Army Corps of Engineer park on Liberty Lake in Texas called Navarro Mills. It was the dirtiest campsite we ever stayed at. The firepit hadn’t been cleaned in weeks if not months – it was full of ashes and trash. There was pop topsContinue reading “Family Time and Medical Visits For All”

Settling In As Park Hosts
Friday wrapped with a near full park despite forecasts of cold temps and heavy rains. You have to respect the hard core nature of some of these folks willing to setup camp in the rain.
