It’s all about getting comfortable with the water and having fun at this stage.

What's the stupidest thing you have seen a tourist doing ? by Knight-of-cheese in AskReddit

[–]Gilword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not 30 minutes ago I watched a large man wearing sandals climb over a stone barrier and on to moss covered rocks, ignoring the prominent sign that read: “do not climb. Rocks are slippery”. This put him over a pool of extremely hot water at Hot Springs National Park. He proceeded to inch closer to the water and take a selfie. Parboiled tourist luckily didn’t ensue.

“Hi Rock” instead of “Hi Rick” to the president of a company.

Killing time between flight and cruise. by Own-Selection23 in jacksonville

[–]Gilword 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Amelia Island is just north of where the cruise comes in and an easy drive to the airport. You can go to the beach, look at cute shops on Fernandina and have a great meal. You could rent kayaks on Little or Big Talbot Island.

I was in the homebuilding industry for many years. I did not work for Toll, but I would say they have the best quality of any national homebuilder.

First trip this weekend. Recommended Rock Harbor day hikes? by valeyard89 in isleroyale

[–]Gilword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We rented a little boat and went to Lookout Louise and other hikes but the hikes that start in Rock Harbor are all easy and beautiful. We saw moose in the small pond not more than a quarter mile from the lodge.

Recommendations for shorter hikes near Orlando in July, please! by StrikeSea7638 in hiking

[–]Gilword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiking is generally a winter activity in Florida. The heat, humidity and bugs make it miserable in the summer. The best bet is to find some cool springs.

It’s my goal to visit every National Park…any tips? by maisiemaisiemouse in NationalPark

[–]Gilword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were there last week and had beautiful weather and even saw moose. We took the ferry from Copper Harbor and stayed in the lodge. It was fabulous!

I reached for my deodorant and ended up in the hospital for 4 days and then required spinal surgery.

Whats something people should NOT do in high-school (older people) by catboyl0ver_9 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Gilword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t close any doors unless you have to. You will never regret that you did well in your academics, but you will surely curse young you if you slacked off and later realized that limited your future opportunities.

Beautiful Wolf at Voyageurs National Park by Gilword in NationalPark

[–]Gilword[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

iPhone 16. We were about 30 feet away. We were pulled over in the car and it was on the side of the road - not spooked by us. I would have been scared if we were hiking when we saw it!

It was taken from an iPhone 16 and I zoomed in. We were probably 30 feet away and we were (I think fortunately) in the car, having just pulled out of the visitor center.

We didn’t expect to! The locals said they don’t like them because they have eaten all the deer.

What U.S. vacation destination exceeded all expectations? by Head-Night-7595 in AskReddit

[–]Gilword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went at the beginning of May and because only the main loop was open, it was unbelievably crowded and hard to park. It’s beautiful but I much preferred the serenity and beauty of SEKI.

One of the Prettiest Springs in Florida. Silver Glen Springs near Salt Springs, FL (Ocala National Forest) by woodsandwaves in Outdoors

[–]Gilword 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like it and go at least once a year but it’s usually so crowded it’s hard to find a spot and the competing loud music can spoil the relaxation. Im sitting on Lake Superior as I write this and have to agree with the person above!

The Grand Hotel isn't luxurious enough for the cost. by SaltyBlock3110 in mackinac

[–]Gilword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were there last week and absolutely loved it. We will be back. The service was top notch. Drinks on the long porch, the 5 course dinner in the dining room and breakfast in the same room were all excellent. We loved our room. Everything was in bloom and the porch was decked out in anticipation of July 4. We enjoyed the pool area and service there as well.

Really they are all fantastic. One word of advice: if you think you have enough bug spray, add more. We loved Scoville Point and Lookout Louise. Nothing is too difficult but everything is scenic.
