kudzokid: So Far So Good
http://kudzokid.blogspot.com/2010/10/so-far-so-good.html
Fun and games from the over 60 set. Saturday, October 9, 2010. So Far So Good. Then, did not get lost going to the Vicksburg Battle site. Spent 2-3 hours driving through the site. Very informative and got a much better understanding about how the battle/siege took place. The battle siege lasted 47 days, during which time the Union forces constantly shelled the city leaving mostly rubble. A confederate soldier behind the fortifications. Quiz: What river was the 'grille' near? Tomorrow, we do some of the N...

Fun and games from the over 60 set. Tuesday, October 12, 2010. Arkansas Travellers/O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A, OK. Okay loyal blog followers, you all remember that yesterday we left you in Little Rock knowing that today we were going to tour other parts of Arkansas. We started by going to Hot Springs Nat'l Park which is unique in that the park is in the city proper and has almost no scenic drives.However we managed to find the one drive before doing anything else. A view of Hot Springs from above:. Arkansas Travell...

kudzokid: WHERE ARE WE??
http://kudzokid.blogspot.com/2010/10/where-are-we.html
Fun and games from the over 60 set. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. You left us in Russellville, AR which is 88 miles south of our next destination. Today wasn't bad we only drove 153 miles to get here. This included a lovely drive along the Grand Canyon of the Buffalo River in Arkansas. It was actually quite beautiful even if it was hardly a canyon, more like a small wooded valley. Also looks a great deal like the Smoky Mountains. So where are we now? Definitely looking forward to pictures of this place :-).

kudzokid: August 2008
http://kudzokid.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Fun and games from the over 60 set. Saturday, August 30, 2008. But Wait, There's More. Not only did we get to spend whole chunks of time with Sharon and the kidlets and go off exploring on our own, but we also got to go to several really nice places as a 'family unit'. First there is a local park in Seabek (about 15 minutes from the house). It is part of the Hood Canal watershed. It is spectacular. Right across the water is a small mountain range (guess it is part of the Olympics). Mike had been there be...

kudzokid: CHOO CHOO
http://kudzokid.blogspot.com/2010/10/choo-choo.html
Fun and games from the over 60 set. Thursday, October 7, 2010. At the end of the road are the Bald River Falls (about 100 feet high and pretty nice). Our guide was pretty and nice! Today's quiz is a multiple choice:. What color was Harriet during the 16- or so miles on the narrow, guardrail free portion of the road? A) white as a sheet. B) off (very off) white. The correct answer was D! Harriet was fine because we weren't climbing straight up and there were no real hairpin curves. The answer is d! DID YO...

kudzokid: September 2008
http://kudzokid.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Fun and games from the over 60 set. Saturday, September 20, 2008. On To The Cape. On the first afternoon we spotted some seals cavorting in the waves. Yes it is hard to tell they are seals, but take our word for it:. No swimming in the ocean, but from there we went to Great Pond. Notorious in Malinak legend as the place where Sharon took her first steps) and although there are no pictures, Cousin Joan and Mike did go swimming. Then, back home where we watched a sunset over Loagy Bay:. And this time there...

kudzokid: DID YOU SAY POPLAR BLUFF?
http://kudzokid.blogspot.com/2010/10/did-you-say-poplar-bluff.html
Fun and games from the over 60 set. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. DID YOU SAY POPLAR BLUFF? Yes Poplar Bluff. It is a lovely little town in southeast Missouri (but we assumed you knew that). We are here for the same reason we stopped in Wytheville, Va. If you can't remember, check back to the 5 state, 500 mile blog. We got here by driving through the Ozarks. We had some wonderful scenery including three "springs", all of which are along the Current River. An attempt was made at a video:. So Far So Good.

kudzokid: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US
http://kudzokid.blogspot.com/2010/10/happy-anniversary-to-us.html
Fun and games from the over 60 set. Saturday, October 16, 2010. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US. So how much more romantic could we be than to take a lovely trip as a second honeymoon (on our 38th). Where could we possibly go to replicate the romance and beauty of Guadaloupe. Where else but Poplar Bluff, MO. We started the day in the fabulous Holiday Inn - a fabulous resort (for Poplar Bluff). And to complete our romantic day - early to sleep so we could get up early and do some more driving. So Far So Good.

kudzokid: A Lost/Forgotten Day
http://kudzokid.blogspot.com/2010/10/lostforgotten-day.html
Fun and games from the over 60 set. Friday, October 8, 2010. We then tried to find "The Grand Canyon of the Tennessee River. Turns out that the only way to it is by boat - oops, another 20 miles lost. Ah well, it would get better (or not). Did get a picture of the river:. By now we were officially lost, but by sheer grit and dumb luck fell onto the road we needed to continue south. Yay! By best estimate we drove an extra 85-100 miles to see nothing. Can't wait for tomorrow. October 14, 2010 at 4:26 PM.
