What's Up? (Updates & Photo Dump)

Hey Y'all!

I don't know about you, but for us March really flew by!


We spent the month in NE Ohio visiting some places we haven't been, and a few we have.

We added 2 new libraries, another nature preserve, and a state park! 

We also visited a few local parks, thrift shops, lots of restaurants, and a few hotels.

We saw all kinds of wildlife- including Bald Eagles, and black squirrels. Hawks, and all kinds of other birds, a few herons, geese, and ducks. Racoons, gophers, turtles, deer, and more!

Here's a few pictures from the month:

Chris did get the big camera out, but we haven't moved those over yet...

The weather was insane, as Spring in Ohio is know for. We has snow days, and days it was 70 degrees & sunny. 

We've surpassed 600 followers on Facebook, and have 115 subscribers on our YouTube channel! (We thank each and everyone of you for following along in our Adventures!)

We're a bit excited, and nervous about our upcoming gig, our start date is soon! We'll keep meandering that way- our new arrival date is the 10th, but it's only a solid 6 or so hours, so we can still take our time, just not quite as slowly as planned.

We're currently on our last day at Findley State Park, and it's been nice. Since it's still the off season the water isn't on. I didn't expect that to mean the bath house as well, so showers haven't happened, but we've adapted. They do have several vault toilets, which I had forgot about (we camped here a lot when I was a kid). Definitely not a fan of the vault toilets, but better than none. They also had laundry, but it too was closed. The website said some things would be, but what they meant was everything. There was no check in, no camp store, no nothing. The trail system was great, and the lake is HUGE. They also have a massive disc golf course, which didn't exist when I was a kid. The beach is much farther from camp than I remember it being, but we always biked through the woods then went swimming. The old amphitheater looks exactly the same, but there are some new additions too! Overall we had a good time. 

Where to next? Somewhere west of here.

Do you have any blog or video suggestions? Let us know in the comments below!

Thanks,

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

Image
 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, ...
