When I started my last post looking back at all the door photos I’ve taken over the years, I was surprised that I hadn’t posted anything since arriving back in Raleigh last October after a couple years out west! Since that time, I’ve been to Florida and back and to West Virginia and back. I had planned to go to Michigan this summer but went into lock down mode in West Virginia when the 2nd wave of Covid-19 hit. I may still go after a doctor and dentist visit next week. That’s probably the real reason I came back to Raleigh where I am now, I chipped a tooth so I wanted to get my regular dentist to fix it. At any rate here is a random collection of snapshots that summarize some of the places I went and things I saw while visiting friends all along the way.

Moving on to Myrtle Beach, I tried to find new things to see in the area.

Once I got to Florida, I camped with two different RV Clubs. We took several sightseeing trips, boat rides, and drives to see the local sights and wildlife.

Back to Raleigh to visit my kids then off to West Virginia.

I rode the Potomac Eagle in Romney, WV many years ago. I stopped by to see if it was still running.

I’ve taken a number of photos over the years of churches and related images – may be a series to post.
