See History of Park Video For millennia it was the land between the rivers, bordered by the north flowing Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers. According to the ranger at the Land Between the Lakes North Welcome Center, the land was visited by Native Americans but because...
Our first stop on our Civil War history quest today was the site of Fort Henry. Well, not quite. We found some markers about the February 1862 battle and that the actual site is at the bottom of Kentucky Lake as a result of the TVA Kentucky Dam project which...
As we were doing the driving tour of Fort Donelson we experienced an unexpected delight. American Bald Eagles! Â Suddenly our focus was shifted from artillery to the cries and sight of two eagles in flight. One flew on and the other perched high overlooking the...
It must have been the Eighth of July. We were traveling south along The Trace in Land Between the Lakes we saw a Corvette Caravan heading north.  There wasn't enough time to grab the camera but a web search yielded a YouTube video of a 2014 Corvette Caravan in much...

With Bloomington in our rear view, we stopped a little east of Palmyra IN, at Buffalo Trace Campground. Southern Indiana near names familiar to Karen from early childhood. Evansville, Brandenburg, Shively. This a a delightful local park complete with swimming beach,...
As we celebrate Independence Day, we're pondering our own freedom to travel. Our ramble with our T@B-400 this summer will be divided into segments. From now until the last week of July is from Bloomington to Sugarcreek. Shall we explore just Indiana and Ohio? Shall we...

What a bonus to be able to visit Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle in the Scottish Highlands on our Iceland and Ireland cruise.
Our twenty-seven days of adventure aboard Jewel of the Seas begins today as we come aboard in Amsterdam for back to back cruises.
Four of the five nights we spent in Netherlands was in Haarlem, the capital of North Holland. It was a wise decision for us to base ourselves outside to Amsterdam.
