    August 13, 2023: View of Mount Shasta. The previous night had violent thunderstorms. Smoke from forest fires were already obscuring the views by the morning. This is looking back on majestic Mount Shasta

    Great day hiking at LBJ National Grasslands. Hardly anyone there. Only person I spoke with was a FS ranger. She was checking some flowers, I mentioned some neat ones on the far side of the next mesa. She said yes, those only bloom every few years…

  • Winter Linville Gorge

    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…
  • Great Smoky Mountain National Park

    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.
