We tend to camp in National or State parks. Seems to work for us. Our goal is to visit all 401 National Parks/Monuments and all the Heritage Areas and Trails of the National Parks system. Since I retired we have visited 142 National Parks/Monuments. We have visited parts of 35 . Heritage Areas & Trails. Most of these trails and Heritage areas cover so much area it is very hard to visit the entire area in one visit. You could but it take some time. We collect the National Parks Passports from each park Some parks have only one stamp, others have many. Just in the state of Virginia there are 180 stamps to collect, which means lots of places to visit and learn about.

Tricera, you are visiting some of my favorite places this summer: Fort Pickens, Mississippi. I'll be in Arkansas for my daughters wedding at the same time you will be there. We'll be staying in a park near Pocahontas. Have fun and be safe out there.

the current is beautiful, upper jacks too; but will probably be to low at that time as you really only want to do the upper section(lower part pretty uneventful); stay away from weekend canoeing at that time of the year, loaded with people; the eleven point is a very nice river as well; yes there are plenty of outfitters around to assist with shuttling; let me know if you want any other info, ie specific areas, etc.  hogone

Hogone,
Not sure which one just yet. Like allot of things we do we have a basic plan, but like all plans they go out the door when we start having fun. We would like to canoe the river in the Ozark NSR area. It all depends at which camp ground we stay in. Reading the brouchers from the park there are many concessioners who provide services so we will pick one and go from there I guess. We do not have our own canoe, just one more thing to carry so e would rather rent right now.

Camper Bob, I also spent many months at NAS Memphis going to "A" school; and then a few years later "C7" school. Sounds like you had more disposable income than I did; but I did spend time in nearby Shake-rag in Shelby Forest. Looking back; it was good times; but at the time didn't think so.

TerryM,
I see you live in ST Augustine. We visit that area many times. My wife has an college friend there and I have a number of my art pieces at the Butterfield Gallery. I do segmented woodturning and a various other items.

In the 6 years my wife and I lived/traveled in a motorhome we were at many of the places mentioned.  Your trip brings back many great memories!  Have fun and be safe!

Awesome trip! Yes, MO state parks are great, we have enjoyed many in the Western 1/2 of the state.
