One of my other hobbies and interests is 'Antiquing'. My wife and I like to see what we can find in stores, yard sales and flea markets. I never really spend any serious money, and I try to sell enough to pay for the new junk I buy.
I thought Traffic…
The first time I saw him was in Boston. I had never heard of him, did not know who he was. He was the opening act for Nanci Griffith, another Austin musician. I'll tell you, he stole the show. The place was rocking, I was impressed. By the time…

I sold my big trailer and bought a large teardrop trailer which is about half the size and weight of the other. So much easier to maneuver. We took it to Loft Mountain Campground for a break-in. It's peak leaf peeper time in the SNP so even though we went on a Tuesday we barely got a spot. It was very warm for October, upper 70s in the day and only 50s at night. The colors were pretty good, mostly yellow, gold, orange and a little red. Made a fire each night and had s'mores. Really really liking the little camper.

On February 27th, 28th and 29th I did a two night out and back trip from Wolf Pit Road trail-head to Table Rock mountain and back. In typical cafe fashion I planned this trip while driving 80 mph east on I-40 heading back from the Smokies. I stopped at a McDonald's to borrow some free Wifi to get a picture of a the trails and away I went. Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the…
On February 25th and 26th I did a nice loop in the Smokies from Big Creek Ranger Station parking lot to Deep Gap along the AT south of Mt. Cammerer fire tower. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
Nestle Nido and Breakfast Essential Based Milkshakes
Nestle Nido is a full fat powdered milk which when combined with water makes a high calorie milk. I add Nestle Carnation Breakfast Essentials to add flavor and additional calories.
