Hello out there in internet land. First time doing this so please forgive if I mess it up some. Ok starting over (Julie refuses to tell me how to delete anything). Hello to all – this is Sam. My registered name is all fancy and stuff but I prefer to go by Sam. Steve calls … Continue reading Whiskey Creek’s Lady Samantha (AKA Sam)

Trip Report!
Hello! Its, me, Biscuit. We just got back from a tour of Missouri and Iowa. Steve and Julie and I went. Julie wanted to write the post but Steve asked me to. Her head is so big right now (like it isn't always?) that neither of us thought anyone could stand it if she wrote … Continue reading Trip Report!
A Trip to Mecca (sort of)
Every major faith has its Pilgrimage I suppose. The Christians go to Jerusalem, the Mormons go to Salt Lake City, The Muslims go to Mecca, and I guess Baseball folks go to Cooperstown. For Bird Dog folks its Grand Junction Tennessee, home of the National Bird Dog Museum and the Ames Plantation. Its just east … Continue reading A Trip to Mecca (sort of)
A Visit to Cumberland Caverns
So today we made an outing to McMinnville, Tennessee and toured the Cumberland Caverns. Discovered around 1810 this cave network runs for some 27 miles! Much of that is not open to the public and is left alone for preservation reasons. We'll touch on that again as we go. As the story goes, a guy … Continue reading A Visit to Cumberland Caverns
Jim The Wonder Dog
So, I got to Marshall last night and did a little research to plan the following day and came across this story about a bird dog, a Llewellyn * no less, named "Jim the Wonder Dog." Turns out there is a park in town dedicated to him. So I was there at 9 AM when … Continue reading Jim The Wonder Dog
The Giant’s Stairs
Well today we leave the mild weather of Maine and head back to the oven. We spent last night in Portland and went back to Central Provisions, violating the "eat twice at the same place" rule on the trip. It was worth it. Oh and their website is cool too. http://www.central-provisions.com/about/ I particularly enjoy reading … Continue reading The Giant’s Stairs
The Cribstone Bridge
We found this a few days ago and I've been wanting to get a couple of pictures out. I have long held that the old ways are so often the best ways. Or put another way, "the best counter to high tech is a lot of low tech." Simpler is just better, and cheaper, and … Continue reading The Cribstone Bridge
The Lobster People
If you drive around coastal Maine you will see stacks of lobster traps in yards. Like this. And a lot of time there's a lobster boat sitting there too, at least at the moment. They've not all gotten back in the water just yet. And you will also see the bouys (below) that mark the … Continue reading The Lobster People
Ships and Lights, Oh My!
Well we drove around Maine today in search of a "light" and we did get to one. Along the way we visited the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, which happens to sit next to Bath Iron Works. Interesting place! We left the house late morning and I finally remembered to take a picture of it … Continue reading Ships and Lights, Oh My!
Passports and Allowances
I forgot to note the signal event underlying our entire trip to Maine. We drive about an hour from our home to get to the airport. At about the 40 minute mark I reached back and checked my pocket - a long habit - and realized I had forgotten my wallet. I have long said … Continue reading Passports and Allowances
