The Great Outdoors

There is nothing like a good hike and it's wonderful when the weather is cool and crisp like it was this day. We hiked for about 7 miles in the Smokies. This is a stitched panorama for about 5 pictures. For more pictures, click here.

Pure Fun!


Pure Fun!

I went out this weekend to Haw Ridge. This wonderful park is a mountain biker's dream. Fast trails through wooded hills. Impossible, steep uphills, and insane, adrenaline pumping down hills. It feels great to be alive here. Once day when I was riding, I was just reminded, vividly, of when I was 11 or so. I was riding my bike on trails almost like this. It's just as much fun now as it was then! It's great to get muddy and feel like a kid again.
