Ahhh . . . Back to nature. This is where I really relax, and feel the stress melt away. No schedules or time-lines except eat, sleep, play. Camping used to perform a service of convenience by getting me closer to the fish, but now it serves a different purpose. I am starting to get into backpacking, with a goal of completing the Appalachian Trail . . . someday. |

This is a huge, bright orange and yellow spider that was walking on the trail. I helped him to the side so he wouldn't get squashed. Click the picture to enlarge. |

"And always, in snow or sand or rock or seascape grass there is, as far as you can see in any direction, no sign of man.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach … and not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close and reduce it to its lowest terms … to know it by experience." -- Henry David Thoreau. |

A hike with the family at Boone County Cliffs. Maddie had a blast, especially touching the moss and finding snail shells. She picked out her own stick, too! |

This is the Rough Trail (221) at the Red River Gorge Geological Area in Kentucky, at Parched Corn Creek. I spent a weekend backpacking there. Click the picture for a composite. |

An overnight camping trip with the family to the Red River Gorge. We camped at Koomer Ridge Campground and hiked a couple of trails there. |
