After a pretty slow February and March as far as traveling around goes, I’ve now picked up the pace, heading to a weekend retreat up in northern Virginia. Friday, I said goodbye to Birmingham, home of good food, an old friend and a new one, and photographic opportunities, and headed up the road a few hours to Huntsville. My Alabama explorations are almost done now. Huntsville has been on my radar since I started vagabonding, mainly because an old running buddy and his wife live there. I missed them last fall when I changed plans so we met up this…

It’s been a busy week, although I’ve just gone from Montgomery to Birmingham, a two-hour drive. I’ve never been to any part of Alabama before, so it’s been an exploration month for me. First, time out for fun: P!nk in concert was a blast! Yes, that is her in the spotlight, flying upside down and all over the arena, and singing while she did it! My first arena rock concert in years and well worth the effort to make it up to Birmingham in time for the start. For a complete change of pace, I hit up the Birmingham Museum…

I’ve been a tourist this week, but in a quiet way. Making my way across Georgia, I lucked into a waterfront site with a view out the back window that was beautiful. The top photo (aka the cover photo) is that view, Lake Blackshear in the morning as the fog burned off and the sun rose. Some of the touristing was catching the weird stuff, like the Ray Charles monument in Albany, Georgia. It plays his hits, no kidding. When I showed up at the campsite near Montgomery, Alabama, I passed the entrance to Montgomery Motor Speedway. No events scheduled…

My pace has been picking up, and I’ve actually been in two different states this past week, so change is in the air. I left Huntington Beach State Park after my month’s stay, but not before one last picture of this lovely Live Oak I saw almost every day on my way to and from the beach. Then it was southward to Georgia, and the Savannah area. I’ve been to Skidaway Island State Park three times now, and each visit, I find something new to enjoy. On my previous visits, I had missed tree pollen season, the one thing that…

I’ve slacked off on the weekly updates in favor of a more ad hoc approach this year. Now feels like a good time to catch people up on where I’ve been… Mid-February I pulled out of Gainesville and went a whole 30 miles to Gold Branch State Park, which is about halfway between Gainesville and the coast. After been stationary for 2.5 months, I treated this as a shakedown cruise, struggling to remember hitching up then unhitching and setting up camp. tl;dr is that I figured it all out. I made it to the coast on my next stop, a…
