3 Corners for a Triplet.
Stealth camping in Monclova was quiet until acorns started dropping from the sky…maybe someone’s mouth was full or the sky pantry was too full. Either way it started raining acorns and I woke up hoping it wasn’t Mr. Thumbs 🦝 or his brother the Squirrel coming in from up above lol. We got up super…

After a good nights rest in the hotel, Matt and I decided we needed a rest day. So we booked the hotel for another night. We rested, walked to the grocery store and back and rested some more. I decided to order a new hammock after contemplating my options with the old one. Amazon had…

Up, up and a stay on Big Savage Mountain
Matt and I were up early after a restful nights sleep at the Fairfield Inn in Cumberland, MD. We had a good breakfast compliments of the free breakfast with a wide selection of deliciousness.

Beans in the Belfry
As the morning light streamed through the leaves of the trees, I readjusted myself in my hammock. Matt was up already. Just as I was about to say a dreamy good morning, my hammock broke and I met the ground with a sudden thud. Matt asked if I was alright as he came over to…
