                    <title>Fishing Pier Biking and Okefenokee</title>
                    <description>We rode down to the fish pier one morning to see how the fish were biting. Lindsay is hankering to get a fishing rod next year. On this occasion we saw more fishermen than fish. It must be the doing rather than the catching thats the draw. We continued riding through the tidal basin  very quiet and pretty. On the way back we stopped at Driftwood Beach again. A young woman from F</description>

                    <description>Great Dunes Beach is a beautiful beach about 2 miles from our campground. We can bike there or when we have chairs and kites as we did last Sunday we drive. Lindsay looks quite relaxed and happy flying his kite.On Monday we celebrated our 46th anniversary at the Crane Cottage. We took advantage of the beautiful day to sit outside in the courtyard. We love the food and the atmosphere here.The fis</description>

                    <description>Despite the rather gloomy start to the day last week we ventured out and treated ourselves to a lunch at the Crane Cottage.  Then we took a tour of the Jekyll Island Club for 1.25 each.  We were familiar with the history of the Rockefellers and the 50 or so other movers and shakers who came to Jekyll to build their vacation cottages in 1886.  In 1947 the state of Georgia purchased the isla</description>

                    <description>We arrived in St. Andrews New Brunswick Friday afternoon.  Our hotel The Europa was right by the harbor.  St Andrews is a working fishing community as well as a tourist town.  We walked around a bit and poked into one or two shops.  It was a pretty town with clapboard houses old churches and lots of gardens.  But like so many seaside resorts the main emphasis seems to be the gift shops.On </description>

Just about every square foot of beachfront on Emerald Isle is spoken for so the real estate that this RV park sits on is prime. We are about 100 yards from the water.

                    <description>We have enjoyed our 2 weeks here and have officially joined the senior crowd by learning to play shuffleboard and bocce ball. This RV resort is quite lovely with paved streets which circle a manmade lake. There are lots of planned activities and we have enjoyed joining in a new experience for us. The people are extremely friendly and laid back so playing golf as a group was a lot of fun.Today </description>

This is always a week we look forward to because this place on the ocean is so beautiful.  From our deck we look out onto the golf course Penobscot Bay Owls Head Lighthouse and Rockland Harbor.

You can spend a week here exploring all the scenic drives and much longer if you are a hiker.  There is a free bus service that goes to all the scenic locations but we drove since we had our truck with us anyway.Cadillac Mountain in Acadia Nat</description>

The park is very nice with cement patios lots of flowerbeds as well as a large outdoor pool and hot tub.  The weather this morning was a bit questionable for a trip to Mackinac Island so we went in to the town of Petoskey.  The city center was a couple of blocks up from the water leaving </description>

The time Roosevelt spent here in the 1880s shaped his attitudes and philosophies regarding conservation.  We took a 36 mile scenic loop drive through the park and tried to capture the beauty of the soft sedimentary rocks that have been carved into various shaped mounds and </description>

                    <description>On Thursday July 28th We took an all day tour to the Columbia Ice Fields.  We traveled up Route 93 The Ice Road Parkway once voted one of the most scenic drives in the world.  Following along the Continental Divide the road rewarded us with views of spectacular mountain peaks.  Our first stop was at the famous Lake Louise with Victoria Glacier in the background.  Lake Louise was named f</description>

                    <description> BE SURE TO SCROLL DOWN BELOW ADVERTISING TO SEE ALL PICTURES.  We stopped two nights on the way from Oak Harbor to Banff National Park in a resort town that I had never heard of Kelowna British Columbia.  After that we set off for Banff.  We traveled most of that distance on the Trans Canada Highway.  The TransCanada Highway is not like our interstates.  For most of our trip to Banff it was </description>

                    <description>On Tuesday the 19th the day started out rather cloudy and cool not really a good day for sightseeing.  So we went instead to lunch in the neighboring town of Coupeville to try some of the famous Penn Cove mussels.  We were not disappointedthe sweet mussels in a wine and cream sauce were delicious.  After lunch we walked down to the harbor to watch the sailboats competing in the Annual Whidbey </description>

                    <description>We woke up to brilliant sunshine and headed for The Gallery a beautifully manicured golf course which is part of the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.  We were paired with a nice couple from Oak Harbor and we all agreed that the golf course and the weather made for a perfect 10 round of golf although playing an unknown course for the first time probably added 10 strokes to our game.
