I was able to get a quick camping trip in mid-week with the kids and decided on Bear Creek in the Cohuttas. My wife was out of town for the week so it was a great chance for me to spend a little time (not working) with the kiddies.
If you happen to live anywhere [...]

Okay, I did the next small leg of the A.T. yesterday from Springer Mountain parking lot. I got up there late and wanted to make it at least to Three Forks. It was 420pm when I actually started on the trail. The weather as predicted by local news was perfect. I was reminded of [...]

Quite often when we ask friends or family to go hiking with us, I am reminded of a certain point in time when they didn’t like me very much. You see a few years back as we were camping up in the Slickrock Wilderness in Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest area I invited them on a [...]

Not a huge fan of State Parks or tourist traps in general but to me this one is above the rest as far as Georgia goes. I drove up to do some hiking in Northwest Georgia , part of the Cumberland Plateau. The West Rim Loop Trail in Cloudland Canyon State Park is one of [...]

To follow up on last nights saga, my dog Kaiser seems to be doing ok other than some drool most of the day today and the bufo toad is also okay as far as I could tell. My first instincts were to boil that thing up for hurting my dog but I am proud to [...]

I realize others have experienced this before but I really had no idea what to think when we ran into a little issue with the dog this evening! My wife and I went on our nightly walk through the neighborhood with Kaiser our dog. We had a great little walk and when we got back [...]

I had one of the best day hikes I have had in a good while. The weather was ridiculously mild for February 2! Of course, I forgot my camera again. I was actually thinking it wouldn’t be that great for pictures but was way off. It was actually very clear and the sky was plenty [...]
