So Many Adventures!

I am starting with the middle of our trip. We visited John's daughter who just moved to Pitsburgh and she took us to this restaurant to have a Pittsburg--Cheese Steak. It is basically a hamburger with literally everything on it, including your fries and cole slaw. So here is the sandwhich and here is everyone trying it.

Janina's bite!

In addition to eating the cheese steak we took pictures at the bar, because this restaurant happens to be the original Primanti Bros.

Octoberfest in Decatur, GA

John and I met my daughter at The Brick Store in Decatur for lunch the other day. The Brick Store is one of the top 10 beer bars/restaurants in the world. Very popular and very busy but a great place to go. This is one of the owner's holding the glass boot of beer that is passed around. If you have never been there you definitely want to stop by. If you are not into the loud crowd you might want to try Leon's up the street. Another one of their great restaurants.

John drinking from the boot!

After a brief stay at our son's home to visit our other two grandchildren we headed for NC to visit my brother. Baltimore Inner Harbor is on the way so we started off early to get these shots before we continued on our journey. This one here is a HDR.

Same picture as the one above but just a natural photo.

Early One Morning

We got up early the first morning to get some sunrise pictures. This is over the lake at Bald Eagle state park.

This is on a back road. This is one of my favorites.

John's Catch

I told you I would post a picture of John's fish. He made a trout chowder which everyone raved about. Sorry, I did not try it. I don't think it even sounds good,--but that's just me. Picky eater that I am, I passed it up.

We have a New Grandson

We took a trip to Blanchard, PA to see our newest grandson, Xavier or Baby X. Not exactly an expedition but a trip for the two of us. We always enjoy a road trip. We actually drove through the night to have the entire first day with our new baby. He's so cute!

While there Clark went down to a creek near his daughter's home to catch a little fishing in and he came back with 3 fish. Go Clark!

I haven't edited those pictures yet, but I'll get them up soon.

Geocaching on One of Our Adventures

On our way to the Coosa River to go fishing we made a few stops to go geocaching. Geocaching is like treasure hunting. There are little treasures hidden all over the world waiting for someone to find them, log into them and then leave them for the next person. Some caches have travel bugs or geocoins that you can take, however if you take something you are supposed to leave something in its place. If you take a travel bug, you need to put it in another cache so the bug can travel around the globe. This particular cache was in Cave Springs. We found two caches here before we headed up to the Lock & Dam where we found a few more. Geocaching fits right in with our adventures nature.

An Adventure to Northwest Georgia

My husband and I moved to Georgia almost 15 years ago and we would often go on all day jaunts to the different corners of the state. We loved to discover new places and things to do. We began to call these trips expeditions like Lewis and Clark. One day my husband said, "Come on Lois we're going exploring." And so we became Lois and Clark and this blog is about our adventures.  I should have kept a journal all these years, but better late than never.
This is the Coosa River at Lock & Dam Regional Park in Rome, GA.  Although we didn't catch anything, there were some fishermen catching catfish all day long. They even caught a 27 pounder. Next time we plan to bring our canoe. The Lock & Dam Recreation area is 73 acres of natural beauty, according to their brochure--we did not explore the entire park.  Just for the record there are 31 RV Campsites, Canoe Rentals, Bathhouse with laundry facilities, fishing pier, boat ramp and boat docks, bait & tackle shop, pavilion, observation Tower (the guy in the Trading Post never heard of the observation tower but it is on the brochure) and there are nature & exercise trails. It is definitely worth the trip up there.

Before we went to the Coosa River we stopped in Cave Springs. Wouldn't you know we could not fish here.
