Grove Campground and Middle Fork Falls

 





Grove Campground is a beautiful campground located in southern Kentucky in Daniel Boone National Forest above Laurel River Lake about 10 miles from the Corbin exit at US 25W and I-75. It is heavily forested and the sites are arranged in two loops. It isn't a huge campground with only 40 sites. Unfortunately, I was only here for about an hour or so before it started pouring rain, so I only got 4 pictures.

Next on the camera roll is a Phillips 66 gas station in Tennessee along State Road 62. I thought the station was defunct, but it may still be open. The owner would be about 90 years old according to an online check, which may explain the rundown appearance of the station.

Last bit not least in this entry is Middle Fork Falls, just a few blocks from the gas station.

Raymond B. Winter State Park

 





Raymond B. Winter State Park is located less than 30 minutes from I-80 in Pennsylvania and the campground is surprisingly quiet and shady, a wonderful place to stay for a few days. I wish more campgrounds were like this one. I visited quite a few on this particular trip which fit into similar profiles, thankfully.

Port Kent

 





Lexie and I took a short ride to Port Kent, New York, the last day we were at the Ausable Chasm Campground. Unfortunately, the ferry service between Port Kent and Burlington, Vermont, has been discontinued. As a result, the beach and ferry area have been abandoned and stood empty. This song came to mind.

Ausable Chasm

 





This is the beginning of the Ausable Chasm on the Ausable River in New York. Looking upriver a bit, one can see Rainbow Falls in the pictures below. There's far more to this particular tourist spot, but because I had Lexie with me, I decided not to go on the trails since dogs are not allowed. There were still plenty of thrills to see on the publicly accessible portion of the property.
