Trail Tales

On this page, I’ve tried to group together all posts from the trail, or in some cases road.  Day hikes, visits to state and national parks and battlefields, multi-day backpacking trips, and road trips are all here.  Not every trip focus on arriving; for some getting there is just as much fun.
