My Iron Man Is A Woman2076 viewsMy Granddaughter competing and winning a local bike race.

She is my Iron Man (iron Woman) because she finished Iron Man Louisville.

A little more effort and she may be able to qualify as an "Old Albatross" crew member.

First Break2073 viewsIf this is a bike trip why are we driving so much?

I saw a photo of Boiling Springs while looking for first night lodging. The stop was worth the time we spent and is very photogenic.

ANNAPOLIS PLUS ONE2071 viewsI had the distinct pleasure of showing four members of the 2013 Annapolis graduating class around my favorite waterfall playground.

As soon as I get their names straight I will post them. From left to right, four Cadets, a friend and new crew member, Steve, and the little brown critter is Pumpkin.

How did the roaming knob get in there? Oh, the Falls is Pine Ridge Falls.

If they had tried a little harder they could have been in the Coast Guard. :)
