Found this – wilderness awareness

Great little website: http://www.wildernessawareness.org/

Wish that I could be out there doing the 9 month wilderness stuff – that would be amazing, intense and definitely fulfill many of my “rite-of-passage” internal needs.

I don’t see it happening any time soon, so maybe I can just learn it in pieces, at my own pace.

Caught a whiff

I stepped outside of the office this morning to move between buildings and the air hit my nostrils right and WOW. What I would give to be out on the trail this morning. To hear the birds, to smell the fire, to feel every inch of my being stretching out from a cool night and tense muscles.

What I would give.

Upcoming plans

Looks like we are going to get to hike from Keys Gap all the way up to Weverton Campsites. Its only about 11 or so miles, with a few elevation changes but we figure this is our best way to get back into hiking up here. We’ll update more as we get closer.

Great Hike!

Okay – by regular standards – it wasn’t really all that great. But I got to go out – so just being in the woods with all the beautiful birds and bright green ferns – it was great. Spent this time around the Dahlgren Campground which is just a few yards south of Alt Rt 40 in Maryland. Cute/quaint area. It is pretty highly trafficked all around that area, but it was still a gorgeous morning to hit the trail. Looking forward to many more mornings on the trail.

Missing the trail

Well, it has been quite a few months since I have been able to get out hiking again. It is always so refreshing to get out on the AT. I have been able to go hiking on a few local trails which is always nice. And I have gotten into geocaching which is fun, although it is pretty suburban around here. I have skinned Firefox to have a picture of Yosemite and frankly, I miss seeing some vistas and views and I miss the air and the dirt. It sure would be nice to get back out there and hike, even if just for a weekend. Hmm, maybe sometime soon …

Toolbar Thoughts

We have gotten some great responses from our readers regarding the new toolbar. If you want more information, check out the page that has lots of information about it – or better yet – download it yourself! I love surfing through the AT pages and seeing different websites about the trail. Fun stuff!

Have a great holiday everyone!
