Here in the CVNP (Cuyahoga Valley National Park) we have some trails that have some good elevation deviations. In getting into shape for all the beach and mountain hiking I will be doing in Maine I choose to hike the Plateau Trail. The trail was dry and…
Saturday burned my scalp from scorching sun in bleachers at my nephew's graduation at Cornell in Ithaca, NY (guess I should have wore a hat). Fortunately they had free bottled water which I downed at least 3 half liter bottles.
So drive 800 miles…

I have her on FB and also Instagram. She did an unsupported hike on the Arizona trail and finished, I think, 5/24/2024. She overcame a lot of obstacles, as she does. Including falling and cutting her head open. It doesn't show up on the FKT website, but Unsupported, Mexico to Utah, 24 days 1 hour and 12 minutes. If that is accurate, it looks like she knocked some 4 days off the unsupported record.

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.

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.
