Capturing Grayton Beach State Park’s Tallest Dunes with Pentax P30 35mm Camera
So two weeks ago we took a trip to Seaside Florida for some much-needed vacation. While there we visited Grayton Beach State Park just minutes from where we stayed for the week.
One of the highlights of the park is the dunes in the park. These had to be some of the tallest I have seen in Florida, graint it I haven’t been all over Florida so they are probably bigger elsewhere.
On this trip, I had my trusted Pentax P30 35mm camera with a 28-55mm lens, shooting Kodak Colar Max 400 iso film. So here is a little portfolio of pictures from that visit to the park.
Coleman 425E Stove from the ’80s
The old Coleman camp stove refused to ignite despite multiple tries. The gas flow seemed adequate, and the igniter clicked consistently, but the burner remained stubbornly unlit. Checking for blockages or leaks yielded no obvious issues. After several frustrating minutes, it became apparent that the stove’s malfunction was not easily remedied.

How to Find Hidden Gems: Off-the-Beaten-Path Campgrounds Away from the Crowds
Uncovering Hidden Treasures: Unconventional Camping Spots for a Serene Getaway
Introduction
When it comes to camping, finding the perfect spot away from the hustle and bustle can elevate your outdoor experience to a whole new level. While popular campgrounds have their charm, true adventure seekers know that hidden gems off the beaten path offer a unique and tranquil escape from the crowds. In this guide, we’ll explore how to uncover these hidden treasures and discover off-the-beaten-path campgrounds that promise solitude and serenity.
Embracing the Road Less Traveled
Venturing off the beaten path presents the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature without the distractions of modern life. These hidden gems offer a sense of discovery and exclusivity that can’t be found in mainstream campgrounds. By straying from the well-trodden trails, you’ll uncover hidden pockets of beauty that few have had the privilege to experience.
Researching Remote Locations
To find these off-the-beaten-path campgrounds, thorough research is key. Utilize online resources, forums, and local recommendations to uncover hidden gems that suit your camping preferences. Look for lesser-known state parks, national forests, or private camping sites that offer seclusion and natural beauty.
Packing Essentials for Off-the-Grid Adventures
When camping in remote locations, it’s essential to pack smart. Ensure you have all the necessary gear, including tents, sleeping bags, cooking supplies, and first aid kits. Since these hidden gems may lack amenities like running water and electricity, prepare to be self-sufficient during your stay.
Navigating Unmarked Trails
Off-the-beaten-path campgrounds may not have clearly defined trails or signage, adding an element of adventure to your journey. Embrace the thrill of exploration as you navigate unmarked paths and discover hidden corners of wilderness. Be prepared with maps, compasses, and GPS devices to ensure you can find your way back to camp.
Embracing Nature’s Symphony
One of the greatest rewards of camping in secluded spots is the opportunity to reconnect with nature on a deeper level. Listen to the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the gentle flow of streams as you immerse yourself in nature’s symphony. Away from the noise of civilization, you’ll find peace and tranquility in the embrace of the great outdoors.
Conclusion
Unearthing hidden gems in the world of camping offers a unique and unforgettable experience for outdoor enthusiasts. By venturing off the beaten path, you’ll discover tranquil havens that provide a retreat from the crowds and a deeper connection with nature. Embrace the unknown, pack your gear, and set off on an adventure to uncover the hidden treasures that await in off-the-beaten-path campgrounds.

5 Camping Tools I Never Used, Despite Thinking I Would!
Camping is a fun and exciting activity that allows you to explore the outdoors and connect with nature. However, it can also be challenging if you are not fully prepared with the right tools and equipment. Oftentimes, people tend to overpack and bring items that they never end up using. Here are five camping tools that you may think you need, but you probably won’t end up using.
Church with a View
My town has a church where I had the pleasure of walking through the doors. Now this is a modern-day church and in a time where we are building a big mega church, this is really not that. It is a modern look with real taste and not just a square box.
Brick and Wood Front
So you would think it would stop that but when you walk into the sanctuary of the church you are faced with floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the woods behind the church. Now being the outdoorsy person that I am, this warmed my heart.
Inside View
In a time we try to build a thing that takes away our woods and nature, it is good to see someone trying to not only blend in but show off instead of taking away.
