Another awesome weekend camping in the books! As a bonus, our good friends Curtis & Denise came out for 2 of the nights and camped with us! We stayed at Whitten Park Campground in Fulton, MS and just like the first time, we thoroughly enjoyed it! Site #60 is a great site right above the water which made for some great sunsets, and it was plenty big enough to spread out all our stuff and not feel like we were right on top of anyone else. This campground is definitely on our list to continue visiting! #whittenparkcampground #glamping #camping #site60 #starcraft #21fb #camper #rv #rvlife #july4th #america #americanflag #usa #goodtimes #blessed #familytime #friendsandfamily #fultonmississippiLooking forward to our next camping trip... #starcraft #21fb #rvlife #glamping #lookingback #lookingforward #inthemirror #tinytowmirrorThanks to Trails and Treads in Tupelo, MS for doing such a great job at helping with my first bike purchase in a looong time... After reading tons of poor reviews and looking at the (broke down) bikes at our local Walmart I thought about investing that money in a "better" bike, so I gave Trails and Treads a call and discussed my needs/wants and concerns. I ended up going with an entry level Trek, the FX1. They ordered the bike for me, and in less than a week it arrived at the shop and they assembled it for me. Once I arrived they walked me through some of the basics and then put the bike up on a rack and told me to hop on. They then proceeded to take measurements and make fine tuned adjustments so that the bike fit me. After more questions and picking up a few "essentials" they finally helped me load it up and take it home! This weekend I put almost 16 miles on it riding at JP Coleman state park while camping. It's a ton of fun to ride, lightweight, and fast (I got up to 30 mph at one point!) and I look forward to putting many more miles on it! So while it may not be a top of the line bike, I am happy that I decided to learn with this bike rather than the others I looked at, and I am even more happy that I went to Trails and Treads for the experience. If you're in the market, definitely give them a call or stop by! (And no, I don't work for them... lol!) https://www.trailsandtreadstupelo.com https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/hybrid-bikes/fitness-bikes/fx/fx-1/p/17446/ #trailsandtreads #tupelomississippi #trek #trekbicycles #bicycle #fx1 #trekfx1 #trekownersI think these LoLoHo shirts are the only matching shirts my wife and I have... lol. Anyway, since getting our camper last year we have watched a lot of YouTube channels about RV’ing, and our favorite channel has been Long Long Honeymoon. They have lots of videos full of tips and suggestions about all things RV’ing as well as lots of travel videos. So if you are new to the RV’ing world or just looking for some fun, interesting YouTube channels to watch talking about RV’ing, give their channel a view. #loloho #longlonghoneymoon #matchingshirts #rving #rv #starcraft #21fb #clearcreekcampground #alabama #camping #glampingHad another good weekend in the camper... despite the bad weather (mostly just predicted) and the less than friendly neighbors... Clear Creek campground near Jasper Alabama has some nice sites and some of the nicest staff that we have encountered. There are even some walking and bike trails that are pretty nice, and a really nice beach area. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area! #camping #glamping #rvlife #rv #starcraft #21fb #camper #jasperalabama #clearcreekcampground #site61 #fawnloopThe skies cleared briefly on the last day of our hike (last month) to give us this great view from the top of Blood Mountain on the AT in Georgia. Storms were getting ready to roll in though, and just a couple of miles past this point was the end of our hike, so we decided to head out before the weather got bad. #appalachiantrail #at #bloodmountain #bloodmountaingeorgia #georgia #blueskiesandclouds #viewsformiles #sectionhike #backpacking #hiking #mountains #mountaintops #4458feet- Follow Stick's Blog on WordPress.com
