Summer Travel Plans

  Hey Y'all!



So, Summer travel plans? What are they?

I think we're pretty decided on Ohio, then PA...

Actual plans?

Nothing solid yet...



But I did a bit of research today, starting with just "western PA things to do" since from Ohio, you come to western PA first. Immediately a reddit post came up for Oil Creek & Titusville Railroad. That looked like something we'd be interested in, and it's in our price range for activities.


After checking that out, I searched things nearby, and came up with quite a bit in just a quick search-






After seeing how much there is to see and do nearby, I started looking for places to camp, these were the most promising-



This option was the closest to my search of Oil City, and one of the cheapest on this app.


The abandoned school looks like Chris' thing, and I'm totally up for a night or 2 out there.


 
Oil Creek Family Campground had a lot of amenities, and activities in the park, for a decent price.


There's also a decent amount of Forest Land, some free, some fee, and various amenities among them.
That's also a solid option.

In my search I also found there are several state parks within an hour or so. Always a good option for the day, or a stay:

Oil Creek (Primitive, Hike-in Camping)
Chapman {May have to visit this one, since it's Amanda's maiden name.}
Cook Forest
Clear Creek
Pymatuning
Maurice K Goddard (No Camping)



So we've pretty much decided where we're going after Ohio, we just don't have dates nailed down quite yet. Early to mid August until ????



In Ohio we'll be visiting family, and hanging around there. Maybe we'll go to a few more parks, have a cookout, just hang out. Plans there are loose, but Amanda grew up there, and we lived there for several years together, so we know of a lot of activities we could do (and it's been awhile since we've done most of them).


After Western PA, either further east, or further up.


Erie seems cool, and it's not far from there to NY.

But the big cities in PA, and the coastal towns have a lot to offer too...


Looking at the map:



I think maybe Oil City-ish, to Erie, north to Rochester, NY across and down to Hershey seems like a decent plan.



Do you have any ideas? Any thing we must see? Let us know in the comments below.


Thanks,

The Outlands

Places We've Been/Things We've Done- March & April

Image
 Hey Y'all, So, what have we been doing? Some of it we've shared here in the blog (Like our first Loves RV stay) some we've shared on our social media accounts: linktr.ee/outlandadventures We started out March in NE Ohio, Chris' best friend (more like family really, and that's how we generally refer to them) had just had surgery on his ankle. We visited with them, attended a basketball game, a dance competition, several parks, played bingo, went to Quality Inn with an entire indoor play area with pools, hot tub, mini golf, arcade, and various play areas. I'm sure there was more, but those were the highlights! After we left them we spent a few days in Findley State Park, before heading further west, we spent a night in Delphos, OH... Pretty area, but the weather didn't really cooperate enough to enjoy outdoor recreation. That brings us to April... From there we traveled onward, crossed the state line, and spent a week in Decatur, Indiana.  While there we enjo...

Our Favorite Places Thus Far (Updated) TOP 5

 Hey Y'all! This is a bit of a filler blog, because while we've been places we've liked nothing so far has beat these five. Honorable mention to the latest museums, we really enjoyed them all. Both Jonesborough, and Greeneville TN are awesome (Lost State of Franklin) and we highly recommend them too.   We've been fortunate to have seen quite a few sights these past few months, here's our top 5!  There were so many cool things, and places coming up with just five favorites was harder than expected. Working from 5, and in order we'll start with... 5)  Athens Veterans Museum - Welcome to the Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives. Located in Athens Alabama, we are proud to be a part of our military history with a large exhibit center, guided tours provided by local veterans, gift shop, meeting facilities, monthly coffee call and much more . The Alabama Veterans Museum & Archives collection contains an impressive display of artifacts from the Revolutionary War unt...

Our Favorite Things/Places/Experiences This Past Month

Image
 Hey Y'all! We were fortunate to do/see a lot of different places this past month. We traveled from NE Ohio, through OH and KY, where we spent a day in Corbin, and then onto NE Tennessee, we took a few days in Bristol, VA, and spent a week in the great outdoors at the quiet, serene Mammoth Ridge near Greeneville. In-between trips in TN we stayed at my mom's and did the whole doctors appointments and scans thing, again. PLACE- While in Ohio we really had a blast, and there's so much to share there it'll be a couple of videos, very soon. Our favorites were the haunted attractions, and getting to cross another National Park off our list with Cuyahoga Valley National Park . Brandywine Falls History runs deep in the valley, with over 12,000 years of human occupation. From the unwritten stories of pre-contact peoples to the environmental disasters and comebacks of modern times, humans have left an impact on the valley. Here along the Cuyahoga River, humans have used, shaped, ...
