Karl and Kathleen Nichter Photography



This blog began in 2009, about a year after we started our photography business. People attending our photo exhibits, or our hikes and workshops, asked for details on where we traveled for photography. As naturalists we usually kept a field journal, so we used that as a basis for Field Notes.
In Summer, 2014 we took a break from the blog because our business, and lives were changing. In January 2015 the blog restarted with an expanded theme. It now contains photography, notes, and articles from all of our travels and all of our photography, not just nature themed. The posts prior to 2014 have been archived.

For more information, please click on "About Us" below.

Thank you for visiting.

Byways: RVing at Rainbow River State Park

We visited the main park area of Rainbow River State Park many times over the years, but in the five years we have been RVing, we never managed to camp at the campground. We decided to go, made reservations, and due to people coming into town and a forecast of thunderstorms all day both days we scheduled to be there, we ended up canceling. Recently we finally made the journey, and I can't believe we overlooked such a wonderful state park campground so close to us.

The sites are large, one loop is very open, the other two have plenty of vegetation and privacy between sites. A hiking trail, which we did not get to hike this trip, meanders off the entrance road. In the other direction, Rainbow River with a small swimming area and canoe/kayak launch for campers.

I spent a lot of time photographing the clear, spring fed river, and sitting on the benches just relaxing and enjoying the view. We will be returning, I hope frequently.
