That might be a white blaze but it isn’t the Appalachian Trail it’s the Foothills Trail! I knew at least two people who have hiked the Foothills Trail and spoke greatly about it so I knew I would hike it at some point in the future. The great part is that it’s easily attainable […]
MT. MITCHELL HIKE 5/27/17 TO 5/29/17
The difference in weather between my last Mt. Mitchell trip which was a week earlier in May and this trip wasn’t much because we got a good portion of rain, again! But, we had just enough dry in between rains this time to make it a more enjoyable trip which was […]

BURKES GARDEN APPALACHIAN TRAIL 1/13/17 – 1/16/17
This was yet another trip on the Appalachian Trail that turned out better and different than expected. I’ve been hiking on the AT many times in several states and it’s always a wonderful experience no matter what state or what time of year. I’ve been to the Grayson Highlands many times because it’s […]
MSR THRU-HIKER MESH HOUSE 2
I wanted to try out the MSR Thru-Hiker Mesh House 2 since the first time I saw it but at a standard price of $199.00 I just couldn’t justify it. But, in due time and a lot of patience it finally went on sale and so I nabbed it. I think I got it for […]

We had hiked a short section of the Laurel Fork Creek trail in 2015 and although it was cold; the water was freezing and there were numerous water crossings it was an outstanding hike so we decided to do a longer section going in the opposite direction when the weather was better. This time it was much […]
Horseshoe Meadows / Cottonwood Meadows to Onion Valley Trailhead via John Muir Trail
In 2015 I hiked from Pine Creek to Tuolomne Meadows via the John Muir Trail and I was instantly hooked by the places I saw so I knew I’d be back. So we decided to plan on hiking the higher section of the JMT in 2016. In 2016 we planned to hike from the Horseshoe / Cottonwood Meadows campground […]
Panthertown Valley Mushrooms and Waterfalls!
On a recent trip to Panthertown Valley we were enlightened to much more than the myriad of waterfalls and swimming holes so I thought I’d share. There were many mushrooms of many shapes, colors and sizes! They were so incredible and plentiful that I just had to stop every 2 minutes and take […]
