Little Beaver State Park (By Asher)

-


Because of RV maintenance issues, we pulled into our site around 11 pm. (See black circle on the map)

Behind our site in the woods we found there was a really small creek. Jordan loved to look for salamanders under rotting logs and we caught 11 in one day.


My birthday was that Thursday. Before then I had made a birthday schedule of what I was going to do.


Dad and I put a bunch of songs into a playlist and did that during breakfast. I found out that I shouldn't have planned for so much food. At the end of the day I was stuffed. When I opened one of my presents I found that it was a remote control car! We ate lunch by the lake and they had a small playground with this on it:



While mom made dinner I read one of my new books: Edge of Extinction 2: Code Name Flood.

We got a little off schedule so when dad got "Trolls: World Tour" from a Red Box, we watched it during dinner. After the movie, we ate sugar cookies and donuts.


We made friends with a boy named Jackson who had an RC car, too! His was slower but bigger than mine so he could just run over it. (Which happened at least twice.)

On Saturday we went to the New River Gorge. Dad had booked a rafting trip and I did a solo ducky. I may have been the youngest person to do a solo ducky because 12 years old was the minimum. On the part that we went on there was three level three rapids. On the first one I lost my paddle and later someone accidently let the air out of part of my boat. I really enjoyed paddling the New River.

Then we when to the visitor center and saw the bridge.

Food

As we traveled the country, we tried to experience local culture. We didn't have much time in each location, so we thought that one of the best ways to do this quickly was to partake of local foods. Therefore, in addition to our National Park theme , we also had a "local food" theme. As we hit each state, we ate a food famous in that state. Just an example; we didn't go off of this map We quickly came to realize that this is a very subjective endeavor. Before we started, I ignorantly assumed that each state would have one or two "famous" foods, making the selection process easy. Not true. First of all, most of what shows up on lists of foods by state is hardly "famous." It's more like "foods you will definitely find in this state and may or may not find elsewhere." Some states have a dozen such foods or more. Many states have the same "famous" foods (there is a lot of crossover with fruit and beef). Second, much of this food...

Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have officially entered the Pacific Ring of Fire. Well, we've technically been in it for the past few months while in California, but none of the parks we've been to have been related... until now. Starting with Lassen, we're about to hit multiple parks built around volcanos. Other than Mt. Saint Helens and that one in Hawaii that never stops, I would have been hard pressed to name another volcano that erupted in this country... ever. But sure enough, Mount Lassen erupted numerous times between 1915 and 1921, doing quite a bit of damage to the surrounding area (there is a section near the mountain called "the devastated area," which is humorous because it's all grown back and looks perfectly normal now). We've had remarkably good weather for our park days, but as you can probably tell from the picture above, that luck ran out at Lassen. I'm guessing a lot of it had to do with us being at elevation, but the entire day was chilly and foggy. If we look...

My Family's House (by Jordan)

-
It all started out with our adoption. We've been waiting for about 3 years to adopt a child. When my dad put the house on Zillow someone's wife wanted to buy it in 10 minutes. But the husband promised his wife a pool. So they didn't buy the house. There were a few others that I can't remember. But finally Melissa and Tim stepped up! They bought the house. We left March fifth. Tim and Melissa have a daughter named Brook. We are on March sixth now and we are enjoying our time at Poinsett State Park!
