Our Travel Adventures

12/3/2014 YouTube - Our Kodiak Adventures Becky and I heading back to the mainland from Bahia Honda State Park to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park . We were not disappointed when we heard this park has a lot to offer. Beautiful Coral, Fish, and clear water. On our way to John Pennekamp State Park, we stopped at The Turtle Hospital , a Hospital for Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Release of Sea Turtles. Interesting to see the wonderful work they are doing helping preserve Turtles.   In 1993, a bar called Fanny’s was fully renovated and is now the building known as The Turtle Hospital . Today, The Turtle Hospital is the only state-certified veterinary hospital in the world for sea turtles. More than half of the hospital’s equipment has been generously donated by hospitals, doctors, private individuals and organizations. In 2002, SIMA (Surfing Industry Management Association) generously donated a new radiograph (x-ray) machine and a Turtle Ambulance which is used to pi...

5/3/2014 Devils Tower sites today.  Cool night last night, around 40 deg. F.  We had a beautiful sunny day though.  Temp was in the mid 70's deg. F.  We decided to stay two nights here and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the empty camp ground. We shared the camp ground with several Boy Scouts last night, but they were all gone this morning.  We rode our bikes to the entrance, about one mile away to check out the shops. We enjoy looking at the Native American Indian art.   We attempted to ride further up the hills to a information center and trail around Devils Tower, but decided early on the hills were a bit more than we wanted to attempt.  So we returned to the camp ground and drove the Kodiak instead.  Are we glad we did.  The trip was about 2.5 miles and very steep climb.  We would of had fun coming back, if we ever got their.
