Charlie 2764 viewsWe met Charlie on Little Stony Creek Trail accompanying his friend down a very cold trail.

After making sure we were no threat he assumed his watch atop the back pack. When his transportation knelled down Charlie took his post atop the back pack. No, he did this willingly of his own accord.

Good Rep For the Van Fleet Trail2804 viewsMet this pleasant fellow while biking on the James A Van Fleet Trail of Florida. He filled us in on the history of the trail.

The trail is over 29 miles long and straight as it cold be. Great place to see wild life.

Coast Guard Brat!2625 viewsOne of these fine folks we met up Little Stony Creek turned out to be a Coast Guard Brat.

Oh don't get upset, that is a term of endearment for offspring of members of the Coast Guard family.

As soon as I get first names they will become members of our crew.

SEMPER PARATUS!

Derick2381 viewsIt takes a tough photographer to stand in cold Greenland Creek in December.

Derick is now baptist as a crew member of OA.
He did this all day, just to get the shot.

Special Ops.2299 viewsThis crew member can sniff where a bear walked two days earlier, drinks from a mud hole, always willing to lead and works for part of my snack and a scratch.

Did I say Bo knows hiking Looking Glass Rock. Only member of this group to look over the edge, fearless.

Craftsman2647 viewsMet this kind man near Dayton, TN. While having a hard time photographing Sandhilll Cranes he saw us and invited us onto his property.

He was such an interesting fellow I forgot to photograph the Cranes. Study this face and you will find a personality that is rare today.

He gave us the tour of his property, which includes a woodworking shop of beauty.

As soon as he contacts us we willl add him permanently to the web site and see if we can show off some of his craft.
