Paris Mountain State Park, SC

Posted on March 29, 2021August 18, 2023 by Annie

I’ll admit it, I only picked this park so that I could tell my friend Paris that I was staying at “her” mountain. Hey, when you’re picking places mostly to wait out the month of March till you meet up with friends in April, it really doesn’t matter where you go. And since most of the tourist sites are still closed, there’s still not much sightseeing going on (Furman University gardens were a miss here, along with downtown Greenville). The Garmin directions had me winding through back roads and then taking a right turn away from the actual park entrance,…

Kalaloch Campground, WA

Posted on March 28, 2021August 18, 2023 by Annie

Kalaloch is one of those campgrounds where planning six months ahead can really pay off. If you score one of the bluff campsites, you have pretty good privacy and a view of the ocean and beach 24×7. I did not have one of those sites. But I could still hear waves crashing all the time, so that was cool enough. Kalaloch is remote and rugged. The nearest convenience store is 7 miles away, the nearest showers 28 miles. While there is the Lodge and a tiny grocery store 1/4 mile south of the campsite, be prepared for few choices and top…

I was working on this post when my phone, sitting on the windowsill, made a huge rattle. Whee, tornado warning! Not what I had expected, given that the weather service had said my area was in one of the green/outlying bands for today. I threw stuff in my go-bag and took off for the bath house, the strongest structure in the campground, bar none. An hour later, the tornado warning was called off, and all five of us in the bath house (six if you count the cat in the carrier, who could not have cared less what was going…

Old Gold Leaves

Posted on March 24, 2021November 30, 2022 by Annie

Here in the northern forested hills of South Carolina, the leaves never fell off some of the trees last fall.
