Thanks Paul! We love Crested Butte! Last visit there we did a hike up in Gothic to Copper Lake and it was gorgeous. A little insane seeing we made 5 water crossings (while carrying our dogs across!) without water shoes, a little ill prepared. :-/ this time we are ready and looking forward to it...

We've finally made it to Colorado! We knew we wanted to go northwest or southwest after Denver and decided on southwest. I have to thank Meech and thenost recent post on Happy Campers blog for the info on a good 4x4 trails book that led us to some pretty cool spots to start. We are now more...

Maybe Stew...I hope it didn't come acrossed as all negativity about Maine. It is a gorgeous state. I guess we just prefer the west and compared it too much.

Stunning pics. We're headed to CO now for a bit, will have to purchase the trail 4x4 book!

Enjoyed this report! Nothing like solitude and a scary storm....

Glad you made it. I have to agree with Mr. Mumbles....I would've been pretty bummed too. Looks like the rental was we'll worth it though!

Forewarning- this first post is long! It is titled Baxter State Park, but in the hectic ness of technical difficulties I left out any and all Baxter pics. There is an extra post including them below. http://4buckeye.blogspot.com/2013/07/baxter-state-park-and-cape-cod.html Then PA parks...

Great area around Glacier/Flathead is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_Horse_Dam -- we camped/hiked here a few nights and it was awesome. It offers many single sites or regular campgrounds. http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/flathead/recreation/camping-cabins/recarea/?recid=66166&actid=29...

This is a great write up! We have been so many places (even above 9,000 ft, where there aren't supposed to be 'no see-ums'!) that are swamped with bugs. Anywhere from out west, the UP of Michigan, or most recently near Eastport, Maine; where I may add that we got eaten alive. The bites are still...

Thanks a lot for all of your suggestions! We looked up some public reserved land right next to Debsconeag Wilderness area, called Nahmakanta. There's a campground there that appears to allow dogs and accommodate our truck. The Appalachian trail runs through it also. It's gated and has a day...

Cool trip report! Neat seeing the old carvings. Good idea on the screened awning. Did you guys do that or ordered?

Thanks a lot Stew, I just looked it up and am greatly disappointed. I do understand why, but at the same time I don't. It's hard for people that dogs are like a part of their family (and are better behaved than some human beings!). Oh well. I guess that's what we get having our dogs. We are...

Here's our weekend trip to Acadia- http://www.4buckeye.blogspot.com/2013/06/acadia-national-park.html

Great report. Looks like a cool place! I had sushi and some Thai noodles for lunch after reading this post too :) That meal of yours is definitely one of my favorites!

Awesome report and beautiful shots. Looks like a great trip!

Thanks for the info! We'll see how much time we have-Chimney Pond Trail sounds like a must for us. We drove through the Adirondacks in NY on the way here. Didn't have time to do any hikes but camped at Cranberry Lake, but driving through there, NH, and Vermont was amazing.

takeiteasy- thanks for the suggestion, we considered doing Umbagog Lake, but decided against it. We traveled through that area (a little north of there on Rt. 2) on our way east from Ohio and thought it was gorgeous. Maybe on the way back (if we're that north) we can hit it.

We have 2, maybe 3 more weeks here. We do plan to do Acadia and also Baxter. I am worried about not having reservations...we'll wing it and find somewhere. Stew, are there any trails imparticular that you liked?

Thanks RJones. I am trying my hand at taking some better pics. It's hard to capture all what mesmerizes us in the moment sometimes. ski3pin- have really enjoyed reading your blog as well. Answer to your question about the header pic, yes it is in Idaho! In the Salmon Challis National Forest at...

Here's our trip from this past weekend. http://www.4buckeye.blogspot.com/2013/06/monday-june-3-2013-this-past-weekend-we.html

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Rob in MT...we ended up going with your plan. It was pretty awesome.

Here we go! First "real" trip with our new FWC! We picked this baby up from Wisconsin back in March and did a trial trip to "Land of the Lakes" in Kentucky and then headed to the Smokies after. (Which I'll post about later.) This trip we have packed up and moved (temporarily) from Ohio to...
