When I headed out on this journey, I expected things to be challenging. I knew the route would be anything but fixed. Little did I understand just how true that would be. I sit here in a small hotel 20 miles Southeast of Shenandoah. I can’t help but wonder what will happen next. The oneContinue reading “The roads to Shenandoah National Park”

Let the adventure begin.
It’s April 23rd and I am sitting in my son’s Athens Georgia apartment drinking coffee. After leaving Lake Sinclair April 20th, I made the long way backroads trek to Athens a full day ahead of schedule. It is going to be much easier to vlog about this experience so I will keep this post relativelyContinue reading “Let the adventure begin.”

Not doing the job, but playing the game, and getting dirty to get on…..it’s been a long time coming.
The elastic stretches, as I mentioned before. Like gravity, the pull of “home” and family brought me back to Georgia. I ended up pulling strings and asking for a few favors to make it happen. I found a corporate job to replenish funds while staging for the next move. I just clocked out of myContinue reading “Not doing the job, but playing the game, and getting dirty to get on…..it’s been a long time coming.”
Projects are distractions with a purpose
Finally making some progress on transitioning my classic Cannondale touring bike into a hybrid bike-packing long hauler. While hiking long trails last year, I found myself moving away from the status quo of going ultralight. I avoided going to town as much as possible. I also learned to push the boundaries of what I couldContinue reading “Projects are distractions with a purpose”
What I will miss…….
I have pulled away from social media for various reasons. I used that time to focus more on the blog for upcoming adventures. I also worked on the documentary and book in with the free time and free mind. Still, I do allow myself some time to look around. The internet will break free ofContinue reading “What I will miss…….”
Times well spent at Old Stone Fort State Park
Technology can be frustrating at times. I go back and forth between being sickened by how invasive it is. Then, I praise it for how it enlightened me. The one thing I can’t help but enjoy is how inclusive and educational technology can be for the wanderer. I have #google and #alltrails to thank forContinue reading “Times well spent at Old Stone Fort State Park”
Winter is my vibe….
With my current gig, I am fortunate to have a little flexibility. I can step away from the big picture and breathe. A few weeks back, I was lucky to find time to justify heading North with work. This happened just as a rare winter storm was expected to hit the area. I gathered myContinue reading “Winter is my vibe….”
Vegetables :)
Not sure what other people have experienced after coming off a long trail hike, but for me it was vegetables and I mean fresh vegetables. I certainly miss the ground and being in the woods each day, but it sure is nice to have a full kitchen and the spices and pans to cook whatContinue reading “Vegetables :)”
