It’s been a while since I have posted one of my hiking adventures. Not because I haven’t been hiking, but simply because I haven’t posted them. No particular reason one way or another. Maybe it was just me being selectively lazy. Coming out of the holidays usually puts me in the [...]

This last weekend I took a trip to Mt. Rogers, VA. to bid farewell to Fall and welcome Winter. It was quite possibly the most perfect backpacking weather anyone could ask for. The sun was shining, the ponies were naying, and a giant black lab stole my spare pair of Ex-Officio boxers. [...]
