My hiking adventures
12/27/20 Sherri and I This is our 3rd trip to this park. It may be the greatest little secret. Each time we have barely seen a soul. This trip was no exception. Not one person. There were a couple cars in the lot but that's it. We are taking the Cedar Ridge Trail to Brenigar... 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 →
Sherri and I 9/25/20 This is year 3 attending the Stokes County Arts event. This time it was back to all 5 peaks and 10.5 miles. Because of Covid they split it up in 3 days.

8/8/20 Sherri, Daina and I I was looking at the SB6000 challenge which is 40 peaks over 6000 feet. Sherri and I always seam to do peaks so I asked her if she wanted to go to MT Mitchell and she came up with this hike. Waterrock knob to Plott Balsam and Yellow Face. 4... Continue Reading →

If you really do tell her to make it less than a 5 on a scale of 1-10. 🤣🤣🤦♀️ It's social distancing... Continue Reading →
3/21/20 Mike and I and 2 dogs Life is hard enough without the added stress of the Corona Virus. In a million years I couldn't imagine having to close all the restaurants, most of the stores in my town where so many friends and neighbors are trying to eek out a living. Then to have...

Sherri and I 2/22/20 Sherri picked this hike. I recently saw other hikers who have done this one in the snow. It looked like a good one. Turns out this is the one my husband wanted to backpack to and camp last summer. My scary storm experience on top of Roan Mountain prevented me from... Continue Reading →
12/28/19 Brandi, Christi, Andi, Jon and I This is a very fun and beautiful trail. It's actually not a trail anymore. It's a scrambler trail so you need a scrambler map to follow it or someone who's been there before. We met at the info cabin and then followed each other to Connolly Cove trailhead....

11/15/19 Mike, Gina and I I just love hiking in the Linville Gorge. Today I got to show it off to someone who hasn't been there. That was so much fun! Her ears might be burning because I surely played trail guide! I could hardly contain my excitement. The first place I wanted to go... Continue Reading →
