We visited a lot little of campgrounds in the first month (6 weeks), and things did, for the most part, go very well. Sue's blog, kept everyone up-to-date with the good and bad events. No running in campgrounds, even if it is raining, is my new motto. And many thanks to Mike for his help with our potential car problems.
Here is a link to the first album that has some of the scenery we encountered, here is the 2nd. Sorry about all the panorama photos, but I like them! I actually made an effort to comment on most of the photos this time. I also took some video : a juvenile bear in TN, some pelicans in our campground in MN, and a couple of 360/180 deg view sweeps from summits (Clingmans Dome Observation Tower in TN, Loft Mountain on Skyline Drive, and Blackrock Summit on Skyline Drive). The weather was changeable to say the least and we used the Intellicast weather radar to try and dodge, or at least prepare for, the severe thunderstorms and downpours. And the wind was also been dicey, especially in Iowa.
In case anyone is interested, here is where we were before we hit the Badlands.
