5 out & back with a reward!

The weather tricked me early today. I was expecting mostly sunny... well, mostly cloudy with drizzle is what I got! On my way back down the mountain in the later afternoon things cleared and the sun came out.

I found a nice camping spot half way into my hike! Good to know. My reward at the end was the Elkwallow Smash Burger! Super tasty... and worth the walk!

Happy Memorial Day!

I feel like I should be out on trail somewhere, but I chose to stay home and make myself a meal instead of going out. I must say I'm glad that I did... these are hands down the best wings I have ever made! They're so crispy and juicy! I've never had any this good from any restaurant, that's for sure!

Thank you to all who and have served!

Another day, another dye!

A BIG Adventure!!!

This was all the food left in my bag... I planned it just right!

Views of the day

I got out for a short hike today. Here's a few pics from along the way.

Random Silly shots from the past week

These are all from the Dickey Ridge Trail during the past week. I've been out and up every day! The dye was just playing around with folds... just to see what would happen.

Thank you PATC !!!

I ran into some PATC (Potomac Appalachian Trail Club) workers as the they were completing a repair on the Dickey Ridge Trail just past the concrete marker at the 1.5 mile junction. This club really keeps our trails in shape.
