Sand Hill crane's. We really noticed a substantial increase in their numbers around east central MN over the last few years. They hang around the local airport too, but seem a little smarter than the Canadian geese, who seem to be attracted to the runway a lot more than the cranes. There have been a few expensive goose/plane collisions over the years, but none that I'm aware of with the cranes.
 
Just got back from the Smokies, East coast Hampton VA and New River NP. Last night we stayed at Tippecanoe SP IND, went into the town of Winamac for a pizza at Tippy’s very good. While waiting we drove through the city park. The 4H fair was going on and got some ice cold lemonades then picked or order at their drive through window. At a quick glance it looked like a nice little town.

We had Site 2 which we picked amongst the dozens of open spots. It was a nice campground, and another one in a list of probably 100’s? That was created with the CCC. The late 1920’s into the 30’s many CCC campgrounds were created.
 
We've camped at Tippecanoe several times with our kids in the past, it was always a great park. Most of the Indiana state parks we've visited have been very well maintained with nice natural features.
New River Gorge was a beautiful park. Great hikes and nice campgrounds. Sounds like you had a good trip.

Nice pics -shows how you can really glamp in style with a couple accessory items- awning, standalone screened room,
Or
A quick overnite just sleep in the "baby airstream" as some ask about it...

Just spent a few days in Montana fly fishing the Bighorn River for Browns & Rainbows. Weather was OK - mid 80's and no rain - I could've handled more cloud cover... Nice fish, and beautiful country.

This was a catch & release group, although technically we could have kept fish. I've found most outfits promote it, which is fine by me.
I have not seen Joe Pickett, I will check them out, thanks.

Totally agree

I made a plywood platform like the one that is posted here in the forum. It worked great speeds set up time and was very useful on driveways. The bonus, it also worked for the 23zero shower tent / bathroom.

Hope everyone has had a nice Independence Day. We did the parade in Red River, NM which was a lot of fun. The place we are staying in here grilled hot dogs for everyone.

Sounds great! I spent a couple days with one of my daughters and my 95 year old mom at her place in SW Michigan. Did some grilling, watched some fireworks and enjoyed each other's company. Very nice indeed:)
