Goose did not know about the burial grounds and possible human sacrifices. We left quickly in the morning.
April 2022
Providence Canyon State Park, GA
Our first full podcast episode is about this park! Pretty place, interesting story.
April 2022
O’Leno State Park, FL
Huge thanks to the guy who helped us find the bathrooms. It was a freaky “The Hills Have Eyes” moment for us. Turns out, plenty of friendly house cats run around. You just can’t see them.
April 2022
Skidaway Island State Park, GA
Great boardwalk, great people, great tiny hermit crabs! We found an almost perfect pinecone.
April 2022
Unicoi State Park and Lodge, GA
The journey scared us. The bear warnings made us grateful we skipped the tent for once. Our car never smelled so much like fast food before.
April 2022
William B. Umstead State Park, NC
We’ve been here several times. Easy hikes, nice sights. (It’s a more recent picture of Grackle.)

Cliffs of the Neuse State Park, NC
Not sure the season was right. A great hike with husbands, kiddo, and senior Scooby. Nice “phone” interview exhibit.

Medoc Mountain State Park, NC
Charlie stole our hearts and the show. Goose tries out her new dark room tent.

Road trip with Duke’s Yard Homestead! Beautiful beach, surprisingly close airport.

A former rice plantation that details its past. Worth the house tour! Saw Bob Raynor and his book talk with Duke’s Yard Homestead.

Breathtaking views, a beach, and home of the Atalaya Castle. Best $2 spent on seeing this massive home with Duke’s Yard Homestead! Who casually keeps bears for their work?!
