We love our hiking and rustic adventures, but every now and then we like to explore our close-by urban environments.
Our first 27 miles on the Natchez Scenic Trail are challenging, with both good parts and bad. But it’s definitely good to stretch our legs with some serious hiking again.
Natchez Trace has three decent first-come first-served campgrounds, lots of interesting historical attractions, and five linear hikes, totaling 61 miles. Sounds like this could be fun!
The day after Mother’s Day, Rusty and I left Amelia Island heading west toward Florida’s panhandle. We had planned to do this trip out west last year, but then Covid happened.
Two of Florida’s most beautiful springs, Rainbow Springs and Silver Springs, are located in the heart of “Old Florida.” These springs are rich in history and chronicle the world of tourism back in the mid-century.
A hidden gem named Lake Conasauga Recreation Area sits atop the northeastern Georgia mountains, and is home to a primitive campground, lake, and more. But getting here is not for the faint of heart.
If you love to hike, you probably don’t mind getting down and dirty. But there are a few good reasons to practice good hygiene while out in the woods.
Our second Florida hike together was at the Kissimmee Prairie Preserve in the middle of winter. It was a breathtaking expanse of grassland below an infinite blue sky above.
Karen took me to her favorite place in Florida, where the Florida Trail ambles through the Ocala National Forest in north central Florida.
Shoot a cannon? Not something that was on my bucket list, but dang, who wouldn’t want to shoot a real Civil War cannon!
We are Girl Hobo and Rusty (Ren and Troy), two greys who met on the Appalachian Trail. We started a life together, converted a van to travel and hike across the country, and we like to eat well. Now, we’re sharing what we’re learning on the road, and we’d love you to join us!
