July 18th to July 24th

We camped at bottomless lakes State Park close to Roswell. The bottomless part is not your swimming suit it's the fact that the lakes were thought to be bottomless but in reality they're about 90 ft deep.

Of course shade is non-existent and temperature was 110°


Becky's found these kids that were very well behaved.

This is the front of the UFO museum and below is a picture of some of their inhabitants
They seemed very friendly.
This one even has its arm around Becky






Our next campground was at valley of fires which is a Bureau of Land Management campground. We are overlooking molten lava that cooled off about 5,000 years ago, but it's amazing.









In Lincoln, up in the mountains we visited the Smokey Bear historical Park. He was actually found with burnt paws from a forest fire.





Smokey spent his life at a zoo in Washington DC and at the age of 26 passed away and was sent back to Lincoln and he is buried on this museum property





We visited the Petroglyphs of Three Rivers. There are about 2100 different petroglyphs. This was from a group that lived here 700 years ago. Even though we can recognize some of the drawings on the rocks they say that basically they don't know what they mean.

52 years ago we came to St. Augustine, we have always loved this town. We have stayed at Anastasia island every time we have been here. This is our campsite number 27 We rode our bikes to town and across the bridge of Lions each day. It is about 10 miles plus any riding around town. We went to visit the fort, interesting airplane entrails One of our favorite restaurant  we did not eat there this time but they have neat tree houses. The whole town has fun with Halloween. New restaurant and open 3 weeks and they have one in Savannah. The name is said trailer park. Order the Nachos, not your usual.Waffle fries, chicken and fantastic sauce. Share with at least one other person.  The last day we were here it rained about 6 in. And none of our streets was flooding but there was some. We had about an inch or two of water for a few hours, but the other end of the campground and a lot. At Oscar scherer we had a great surprise when our friend Chris Phipps was camp next to us. Plus her little fri...

We did not perform the song. We also played a few rounds of pickleball. Are campsites at East harbor State Park. We are here for 13 days while we prepare the garage and dock to sell. This is Olivia and Eden's first day of school. We also got to celebrate maevis's birthday We gave away a lot of stuff, but was able to sell the sunfish at the last moment before closing. Campgrounds are always interested. This is a camper that was straight across from us. These people had a lot of fun look closely at the pictures to see what they wrote on the side of it. One of the planes that flies around the islands every year is the Ford Trip motor We got to garage completely empty and was able to enjoy a couple of days with our friends from Cincinnati Ron and Mary Turnau. We took the ferry to put bay and had ...
