Walking the Acastus Trail & McWilliams Campground

August 29, 2025/ Marcie
Walking the Acastus Trail & McWilliams Campground

We’d noticed the Acastus Trail when we visited the Spring Mountains Visitor Center a few weeks before, and since we were feeling particularly lazy, an easy trail sounded ideal to get us off our duffs without overdoing it.

Just a Little Further

Hi there and welcome to Just A Little Further!

We are David and Marcie Lynn and we've lived aboard our Liberty 458 cutter-rigged sailboat since 2000.

What began as an urge to travel slowly and economically at our own pace ended up an adventure of a lifetime.  

Well, here we are ... nearly 90,000 miles under the keel, 5 continents, 5 Great Southern Capes, 36 countries and almost two decades later, still taking one passage at a time and going just a little further.
