On the northwest side of Lake Lanier is Army Corps of Engineers campground, Bolding Mill. The roads are wide and smooth, reminding us of a "RV Resort" not a $12 a night campground. Our site included a paved driveway and a wide level concrete pad.

Of course a fantastic sunset on the lake.

There were miles of wooded trails for Luna to explore.

Oconee Point COE, located on Hartwell Lake in western South Carolina. Our site was right on the lake.

Another beautiful sunset. One of these trips we'll get some pictures of sunrises.

There are several bike paths in Nashville, but we chose the Stones River Greenway that followed the Cumberland River.

Wide and smoothly paved, it follows along the river and eventually crosses on a bridge just for bikes and walkers.

In Mt. Airy we stayed at the Mayberry Campground which is built on part of the 2,000 acre farm owned by the original Siamese twins, Eng and Chang Bunker.
The campground is owned and operated by direct descendants of the twins.

A trip to 'Mayberry' would not be complete without a ride in the squad car.

We camped at the Oregon Inlet Campground that is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
Dunes separated the campground from the Atlantic and Luna had a ball running up and down them.

In Lexington, we stayed at a campground next to the Kentucky Horse Park. It had a nice bike path to downtown that wound through some of the horse farms in the area.

Bobbi enjoyed spending a day at the Horse Park.

Mill Creek is a Corps of Engineers park in the northeast corner of Ohio where we spent two relaxing evenings.

Moose River Campground is right on the Moose River in St. Johnsbury, VT and the sound of the river at night was heavenly.

Nearby is Dog Mountain, 150 acres on a mountain top that a local artist created as a studio and an area where dogs are free to roam.

St. Johnsbury is home to several covered bridges and massive stone churches, but the highlight was the BBQ and bonfire on Saturday night.

We have visited Bar Harbor, ME several times but Cadillac Mountain within Acadia National Park was always fogged in. This time there was no fog and we were able to climb around the top of the mountain for some fantastic views.

No visit to Maine would be complete without lobster rolls for lunch every day.

At the Creekside Campground we were right on Stony Creek and enjoyed having dessert while watching boys play in the creek. We ate at Swover Creek Farms & Brewery where we had wood fired pizza from their outdoor ovens with pepperoni from locally raised pork and beef.

Watoga State Park is West Virginia’s largest state park. Built in the 1930s as a CCC project, it is absolutely one of the most beautiful state parks we have visited so far. It has 8 miles of nicely paved roads within it.

The views from within the park are stunning and the 77.1 mile Rails-To-Trails Greenbrier River Trail runs past the entrance to the park.

The New River Campground was on the river just before the confluence with the Gauley River to become the Kanawha River. Up the Gauley River from our campground is Hawks Nest State Park. Further up is the Summersville Lake that forms the largest lake in West Virginia. Finally, no visit to West Virginia would be complete without our newest National Park, the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.

The Glen Ferris Inn may have been built as early as 1815 as there is an 1815 newspaper article that states this, but it has been clearly serving customers since 1839. In 2008, the 1899 5.5 megawatt Glen Ferris hydroelectric plant was rehabilitated and placed back in service. It is located just upstream from the Glen Ferris Inn and the plant's dam creates stunning images of the still Kanawha River.

In northeast Ohio is Sauder Village, a 250 acre living history village. In addition to the village it has a RV park, hotel with indoor heated pool and a fantastic restaurant.

Displays range from early 20th century farm machines to early radio and TVs.

Black Rock Mountain State Park is near Clayton, Georgia. Located on the continental divide, it is Georgia's highest State Park with some of the most outstanding scenery in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The road up to the campground has a lot of turns and the sites are small but no problem for us.

There are some interesting trails with the park. Also within the park is the Foxfire project. This started as a class assignment in 1966 for high school students to learn about the mountain culture. It resulted in a magazine and eventually a book. Today it is home to over 20 historic log structures that have been moved to the property and form the backbone of a museum about the local culture.

A hike to the top of the mount offers some stunning views.

Natural Tunnel State Park is just over the Tennessee border in Virginia on the south border of the Jefferson National Forest. It is not on a lake or river but is very clean with large gravel campsites.

Several hundred feet down the mountain is an active CSX railroad track.
The track is easy ride down a chair lift.

Once down there is a nice walkway along the track

The major attraction is a massive naturally formed cave that is so large it is used as a railroad tunnel. The South Atlantic and Ohio railroad constructed tracks through the Natural Tunnel in 1893 and it is still in service today.

Babcock State Park is in Clifftop, WV. located along the New River Gorge.

Unlike most state parks where drones are prohibited, they are allowed at Babcock daily from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. You can check in at the park office for drone use at other times

Located near the southeast corner of Tennessee is the 29,800 acre Fall Creek Falls State Park.
At 256 feet it is one of the highest waterfalls in the eastern United States.

There are many hiking trails within the park, including one with a suspension crossing it.

Coopers Rock State Forest is located near Morgantown, WV. There are 50 miles of hiking and biking but the main attraction is the canyon overlook. We were there over a weekend in late May and noticed a lot of dressed-up young people posing for pictures. It was prom night.

Nestled in the Monongahela National Forest is Blackwater Falls State Park. The centerpiece of the park is a 62-foot cascade where the Blackwater River leaves its leisurely course in Canaan Valley and enters the rugged Blackwater Canyon.

There are many hiking trails among the other falls.

Letchworth State Park is in the Finger Lakes area of New York and is known as the "Grand Canyon of the East". It really is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern U.S

There are 66 miles of hiking and several other water falls within the park.

Ithaca has many gorges carved out by glaciers millions of years ago. The city's slogan is "Ithaca is gorges”, a play on gorgeous.

The paved Cayuga Waterfront Trail is 8 miles which includes Cornell University and the downtown waterfront.

Douthat State Park in southern Virginia is listed on the National Register of Historic Places because the park's design influenced the development of parks nationwide. I hope that the entrance bridge didn't influence other parks. Yes; that is actually the entrance to the campground.

The campsites are large, shaded and not close to neighbors.

The park is near the C&O Railway Heritage Center in Clifton Forge, VA. My paternal grandfather was an engineer with C&O back in the steam days. As luck would have it, the day we visited the C&O Railway Heritage Center was their annual festival.

On static display is a steam locomotive of the type my grandfather drove.

The park is located in the George Washington National Forest with some beautiful views.

Winhall Brook Campground is the only U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground in Vermont. The entrance bridge is the end of a tight turn and I can't imagine a big 5th wheel making it. The campsites are grass but a lot of extra room.

And nearby is the Vermont Country store.

Near Hammondsport, NY is the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum. In addition to numerous displays on his aircraft success, there was an extensive display of motorcycles and Ormond Beach.

Something I had not heard of before was his Aerocar, probably the first 5th wheel trailer. The connection to the car was remarkably similar to today's method except the location was in the trunk.
