oregon inlet camp life.
OBX adventure

Posted on October 18, 2020May 13, 2021by sarah

ok! we’ve made it to my last post about our time in the outer banks. we were there for almost two weeks, so even though we had a lot of excursions, and spent a lot of time at the beach, there was still time back at camp, just hanging, doing boring stuff. this is a […]

jockey’s ridge state park
OBX adventure

Posted on October 18, 2020May 15, 2021by sarah

just north of our campground is the most visited state park in north carolina. jockey’s ridge state park is home to the tallest sand dunes on the east coast and the ecosystem and history is very interesting. our first visit to the park was to take a ranger guided kayaking trip. isaac didn’t want to […]

the ocean pursuit wreck.
OBX adventure

Posted on October 18, 2020May 13, 2021by sarah

i’m not exactly sure how i happened upon it, most likely it was instagram, but when i found out there was a ship sinking in the sand somewhere near our campground, i made it a personal quest to figure out it’s exact location and take a field trip. the ocean pursuit is a 72′ scallop […]

ocracoke day.
OBX adventure.

Posted on October 18, 2020May 13, 2021by sarah

we knew that for one of derek’s days off while we were in the outer banks, we wanted to make the long cruise down to ocracoke, to check things out. it’s about an hour or so to the hatteras-ocracoke ferry from our campground, so we obviously stopped for duck donuts along the way. (the girls […]

great smokies. camping, travel day, clingmans dome, and miscellany.

Posted on September 28, 2020October 1, 2020by sarah

well. it appears i’ve gotten incredibly behind with my blogging again. the truth is, i’m not very motivated these days. but, we have some rv trips coming up, and i know we will have lots of adventures, and if i fall much further behind, i’m not sure i’ll ever blog again. so without further ado, […]

big lost cove cliffs hike.
(linville gorge wilderness)

Posted on August 7, 2020August 7, 2020by sarah

our fourth and final adventure during our lenoir stay was a return to the linville gorge wilderness and the big lost cove cliffs trail. it was close to the weekend, so we were looking for a “lightly trafficked” trail, and the kids voted for a scenic hike over a waterfall hike, so after some research […]

lazy tubing on the new river.

Posted on August 7, 2020August 7, 2020by sarah

for our third fun adventure outing during our time at green mountain rv resort we spent the day outside of boone, floating in tubes down the new river. it was nice to be outside, but not without all the work of hiking, and with the ability to cool off in the refreshing waters. we were […]

upper creek falls.
(linville gorge wilderness)

Posted on August 6, 2020August 6, 2020by sarah

despite having moved to north carolina for 20 years ago, and then having traveled the usa seeking adventure for over three years, we haven’t actually ever done much adventuring in the wilderness just down the road. so, when we decided to camp in lenoir, we were pretty excited to check things out, even if everywhere […]

a conglomeration of nonadventure outings.

Posted on August 6, 2020August 6, 2020by sarah

during our week at green mountain rv in lenoir, we mostly went on cool outdoor adventures. but, we also had a couple of days where we just visited blowing rock and boone. our first stop was to check out the place where derek and i got married, once upon a time. the time was 2001, […]

life and times at green mountain rv park, lenoir, nc.

Posted on August 6, 2020August 6, 2020by sarah

shortly after our last rv trip, like i’m talking just a few days after we arrived home, the world came to a screeching halt, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. when i think back to the news trickling in while we were in miami, it all seems so surreal. anyways, since our return, the camper has […]
