With June 21st being the first full day of summer, we decided to make the most of it and spend the day on the boat. Dropping it in the water at the Cedar Key Boat Ramp, our plans were to float up to Manatee Springs which is a First Magnitude Spring that flows into the […]
A good friend recently told me that “You never remember the trips where nothing bad happens” I guess that’s why Cindy and I always have such memorable Road Trips. We were in the process of doing our annual pilgrimage of shooting the Rock Bottom Chuck Wagon Races in Arkansas. Before we left, I had brought the […]

While recently up in Michigan visiting family, I decided to check out some of the abandoned buildings in downtown Detroit….there are lots of them in case you haven’t followed the last few decades demise of Detroit. Rather than go snooping around on my own, a good friend, William Trinkle who had done one of the […]
The world we live in, who would think there could be places that no one has yet found? This is what I kept thinking as I wandered the gardens at Cedar Lakes Woods & Gardens! Some good friends had stopped by the Tiki Bar a few weeks back to tell me about this place and […]
