To travel is to learn. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles – this category focuses on all of the trips I have taken and had the good fortune to document.

Cape May: Bunker At Cape May Point

We visited the WW2-era concrete bunker at Cape May Point. Built in 1942, it is amazing the thing is still standing, but it does have 6 ft thick concrete walls designed to take a battle ship blast.

The bunker was built to protect the coast from Germans should the United States be invaded during WW2.

After the war, the bunker was decommissioned and used as a military radio center during the 1950’s.

The local government does not allow access inside the structure, but with those thick walls, I wouldn’t expect a cell signal in that thing.

Cape May: Beach Plum Farm

My family and Team Gorcka went to Cape May this weekend to just get away and I have been itching to do some outdoor video projects.

This first video of a little series and it covers our visit to Beach Plum Farm. We had some breakfast and bought bread and jams for later.

Ben also met a chicken.

Vacationing in Chestertown, NY

My family and friends rented a house in Chestertown, NY near Loon Lake. In addition to having some fun on Lake George, we did some hiking near the lake, took a dip in the lake, and visit a weekly farmer’s market.

We tried to hit up the local business as much as possible and we found some nice options. Shout out to Main Street Ice Cream – very nice people and the Odd Duck

I tried to find spots to use the drone as well… because why not?

Lake George Boating Adventure

The second part of our vacation was in the Lake George area of New York.

We thought it would be fun to rent a boat on our own and tour the lake but they were all sold out. We called several places and then thought to get a boating tour. We were lucky that somebody cancelled (thought it was going to rain, but the weather ended up being perfect).

It was a fantastic day. The water temperature was 80 degrees, our captain Jonathan knew all the cool points on the lake to swim and do cliff jumps and we had a great time.

Vacation Vlog: OBX House Tour

People always ask “how was the house?” when you go away, so I always try to film a little bit so people can get a feel for the place.

Whenever you do a HomeAway or AirBNB, you never know what you are walking into, but this place was perfectly comfortable and clean.

I might also add that it had the best AC in any house or hotel I have ever stayed at.

Gorcka Got A Haircut

My friend Gorcka’s hair has been out of control since the pandemic started. He kept saying he wanted me to give him a haircut on vacation… and I did just that.

The only problem was… we didn’t have any of the right equipment.

Let’s see how it turned out.
