A continuation of the original main Burnsland site, Adventures by Burnsland is the new home for photos and stories from our adventures.
Adventures can happen someplace far away, or they can happen at home, too, or anywhere inbetween. For us, adventures happen wherever we happen to be, and that makes life fun. Join along with us in the adventures of life!
The full Hawaiʻi 2023 Trip Report is now complete, with over 24,000 words and 150 photos! See the trip report and other posts from our trip at the Hawaiʻi 2023 page.
We saw lots of natural growth on the trail to Mānoa Falls on the island of Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi during our June 2023 trip.
Looking at this photo, you would almost expect an Ewok to jump out from behind one of those trees. Or maybe Bigfoot. Except that everyone knows Bigfoot does not live in Hawaiʻi. And Ewoks are on Endor.
The overgrown tropical rainforest look of the trail was perfect for me.
A wooden boardwalk winds through cypress trees along the edge of the lake at Reelfoot Lake State Park in Tennessee.
Recently, a group from our church went to eat lunch at Boyette’s, a catfish restaurant near Reelfoot. Nothing against the rest of the group, which are all fine people, but Laura and I decided to take our own car instead of riding the bus and then see if we could find any adventures after we ate.
Waves crash into rocks along the shoreline at Kaʻena Point State Park on the island of Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi.
We visited Kaʻena Point State Park early in our trip, as we were looking to check out some of the beaches of Oʻahu. If you have not already done so, you might want to read about it in Part 4 of the trip report.
I always enjoy seeing waves splash high when they crash into rocks, and this beach provided a good show of that.
A Tucker 48 automobile is on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, DC, as seen during our July 2023 visit.
One of the distinctive features of a Tucker 48 is its third headlight in the center of the car. That headlight would turn when the front wheels turned, illuminating the road in the direction of travel.
There were only 51 Tucker autos ever produced, all in 1947 and 1948, before the Tucker Corporation was forced into bankruptcy due to negative publicity.
Lanterns hang from tree limbs at the Four Seasons Resort along the shore on the island of Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi.
As you might know from reading our Hawaiʻi 2023 trip report, we went for a walk every evening of our stay at the Disney resort of Aulani. On our very first night there, we walked past the Four Seasons Resort, which was right next door in the Ko Olina resort area.
