ADF378 viewsHis crew position is more like an instrument, Aviation Direction Finder. The reason for this title is his ability to rapidly ascend ridges I will only see from an aircraft, and find alternative trails when searching for "new" falls.

An excellent Woodsman I am fortunate to go waterfalling with.

Ami and Shannon377 viewsMost hikers know it is not so much the trail as those who hike the trail.

Shannon, on the left, is a Nurse Lou and I met descending to the falls at Glen Burney park in Blowing Rock, NC.

Reaching the falls is no "Walk In The Park" but, these two were so determined they brought along flash lights just in case of nightfall before completion.

ATTABOY, Girls. Keep in touch so we may hike again.

Hedge Apple?376 viewsWe found this, one of natures little oddities, along the Great Allegheny Passage, one of our many bike trips.

I have no idea of it's usefulness but, if the Major Leagues decide to go green, I'll be on the leading edge of the national pastime.
