Table Rock Dam in the Ozarks of Missouri provides plenty of recreation opportunities as well as hydroelectric power generation. We also visited Shepherd of the Hills Hatchery, part of the Missouri Department of Conservation, which provides trout management for Lake Taneycomo and other areas in Missouri.
Owen the pup loved his hiking adventure on a popular, local five-mile trail loop in Claremont Hills Wilderness Park.
After a hiatus due to the Covid19 pandemic, the Tournament of Roses parade returns to Pasadena, California- and with special significance for the Cranky Camper family.
Adventuring past Prague, the Cranky Camper family celebrates Emily's birthday with an outing to Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. We rode the Diana Funicular Railway to Výšina přátelstvà and explored the Svatý Linhart Preserve. The visit to Karlovy Vary would not have been complete without dessert at the Cafe Pupp in the historic Grandhotel Pupp, where scenes from the 007 flick 'Casino Royale' were filmed.
It has long been said that drinking the waters from the hot springs of youth will bring life and vigor back to your bones, curing all sorts of ailments. As such, Karlovy Vary has been a popular destination and spa town for past several centuries, with nobility, politicians, and other people of influence and fame coming to partake in its healing waters.
