Daniel Boone National Forest

Well, Saturday began my exploration of DBNF. While we only covered 39 miles in a little over 4 hours in the forest, we saw a lot. So now I am looking at this fall exploring and staying in DBNF. I am looking at putting together a couple of days in the forest exploring and camping along the way. Thanks to Bill for tagging along and navigating the trails. While neither of us got to encounter the wildlife we wanted to (he a rattlesnake, me a bear) we did see a mama and baby deer together on the trail. I am sure at some point we will get to see them in due time. Daniel Boone covers 21 counties of eastern Kentucky and more 708,oo0 acres of national forest and 600 miles of trails. Stay tuned to more from DBNF this fall.

YouTuber Meet up!!

Here is the video from our YouTuber meet-up from May 13th-15th at Cumberland Mountain State Park in Crossville, TN. We had a great turnout and an even better fellowship. Enjoy

Get Kids Outside

I believe in order to get more kids outside get them something to make them want to get out there. A couple years ago I bought Chloe her first hammock and showed her how to hang it and she fell in love with it. She got in that hammock the first time on a camping trip grabbed her book and went to reading for hours. Since then she now hangs her hammock in the backyard to read. So past weekend I snapped this picture of her hanging and reading while camping. So find that thing that makes your kids want to get outside.

Chloe is in her happy place.

Tuesday’s Video is Up!!

In this video, we head up to Land Between the Lakes to find some dispersed camping and hit some of the fire roads that a two-wheel-drive truck or car can go. Along the way, we run across some cool critters and landmarks.
