My hiking adventures
Near Floyd Virginia Brandi and I Saturday March 27, 2020 The rain cancelled our scheduled hike. We scrambled to find another we headed towards Pilot Mountain then to Hanging Rock when Brandi saw an invite to an upcoming hike in the Rock Castle Gorge in Virginia. It was another hour but it's better to drive... Continue Reading →
Mike, Sherri and I March 5-7 Cumberland Island National Seashore is a barrier island off the coast of Georgia just above Fernandina Beach Florida. It's history is rich and varried. Many people have called the island home. It's history goes back to the 1700's. You can read about it here. Cumberland History. To get on... Continue Reading →
Mike and I 2/14/21 This was the trip that wasn't supposed to happen but we were so lucky it did! Our flight out of Flagstaff was cancelled and the choice of flights were not great. Mike's idea to drive to Pheonix where more flights were available seamed crazy but you got to do what you... Continue Reading →
2/13/21 Mike and I When life changes drastically what do you do? Make spontaneous plans. We now have our parents in assisted living and we are, for the first time free to be spontaneous. After an exhausting couple of weeks I left the planning up to Mike. His plan, fly out Friday return Monday. We... Continue Reading →
1/2/21 Mike and I I have been wanting to do this trail. It is actually the end of the Palmetto trail that will eventually go from Oconee State Park to the coast. Or the beginning if you start at the coast. There is about 350 miles of the 425 mile trail complete. We stopped at... Continue Reading →

11/14/20 Sherri and I Doughton Park is near Stone Mountain NC and goes to the Blue Ridge parkway and is maintained by the BRP. It has a great trail system but is not very popular. I'm not sure why but yay for us! We started on the trailhead near the back entrance to Stone Mountain... Continue Reading →
October 9, 2020 Mike and I South Carolina has more barrier islands than any other state Except Florida. Some are developed most are not. Bulls Island is part of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. The only way to visit is by boat. Coastal expeditions is the only service contracted to take people. They make... Continue Reading →
Mike and I October 3, 2020 We left the Channels and drove about an hour west through small towns and to what seamed like the middle of no where. The trail head was not in any mountains but just down a road though a country neighborhood. There was a large parking area with restrooms. We... Continue Reading →
