Vacation at Kiawah Island SC

This week we are vacationing at Kiawah Island on the shore of South Carloina. We have rented three houses and have multiple families staying.

The Pendley's
The Whitworth's
The Nutt's (Two Nutt families)
The Bogardus'

Welcome to Kiawah Island. Home of really nice people and a few alligators.

The before and after shot at The Sanctuary. What a great place to relax and get away from it all.

We split a beer because I am not much of a beer drinker. I had one sip and Tam had one beer less a sip. I was robbed.

Robert fell asleep in two minutes after his head hit the couch. We was texting and then was out like a light.

Drove over to Rita's and had some great food. I recommend the blue cheese burger and Robert said the fried shrimp was awesome. Rita's is a block off the beach and was a 45 minute ride from Kiawah.

From the beach. The houses and places to stay on Kiawah were really great to visit. We road bikes all over the island.

One happy man and his lovely wife.

While riding our bikes we passed what I think is a mother alligator in one of the small ponds. From the photo it looks like I was standing right behind the alligator. I had to zoom all the way in and also cropped the photo so it looks like I was near.

Blowing My Mind

Items that I have collected, in no particular order, that BLOW MY MIND. I have been collecting and writing down information that blows my mind. Here is a list, in no particular order, of information that I have picked up shortly after I was born in 1958. It is crazy how much information that has changed or is changing as I grow older. The Universe In no particular order: The universe was created 13.8 billion years ago. Big Bang - Only two elements were formed one million of a millionth of a millionth of a second after the big bang. Because of heat after the big bang these two elements were created. 1. 75% hydrogen 2. 25% helium 400 million years after the big bang, the stars are formed under extreme heat. The stars start to fail and explode which created carbon, oxygen, iron, nitrogen cooked and then exploded. E=MC² shows that Energy and Mass are interchangeable which is how energy turned into elements or mass. The earth is 4.543 billion years old. Life on ea...

Mid-Atlantic Backroad Discovery Route MABDR

The BDR is a motorcycle route that goes from Damascus Virginia to the New York State border. Some of the travel is on two laneroads, while other is on Forest Service gravel roads. I started in Damascus which is a great little town the Appalachian trail goes through. You can see my bike on the right. the Appalachian trail and the Mid-Atlantic BDR slowly meander back and forth through the country. I've met a couple guys that were hiking all the way non-stop. This is a well photographed gap that is fun to go through. Sceenic overlook that I turned around for. This was taken off a dirt road. I stopped and took this photo and then a hiker appeared out of nowhere. She scared me pretty good. First night camping. Hard to sleep when you don't have your favorite body pillow and covers.

Mount Rainier July 28, 2024

Mount Rainier is an active volcano located in Washington. Wildflower meadows circle the icy volcano in July and August while ancient forests cover the lower slopes. We walked up the section that is called Paradise which is famous for its gorgeous views and wildflowers. While we were in Paradise in July, the area is known for its winter activities. You will find people snowshoeing, cross country skiing and sledding. We flew into Seattle and met Rob and Rebecca then headed on a drive to Mt. Rainier. We did see the top of Rainier, but its low cloud cover was typical for the day. Rob, Rebecca (R2), Tam and Bob The walk was up hill for a while and this old guy was hurting the next day. I have no information about the cabin located in the bottom of the beautiful valley. The flowers looked like they were professionally grown. The waterfalls were scattered all through the walk. So pretty and full of life. We even saw some wildlife.
