    • Bay Circuit Trail - Massachusetts

      I have finished a three-year Day Hike/ Bike of the Bay Circuit Trail. If you would like to see my Trail Journal for this trail, here it is...

      Interestingly, the Bay Circuit Trail was originally suggested by no less than Benton MacKaye as a green necklace around metropolitan Boston. Unfortunately, in the time it took for people to make this dream a reality it became a walk through suburbia rather than the wilderness experience he envisioned.

      Not anything any of you should travel to to hike, but it is a pleasant enough walk when it is right in your own backyard

    • In a way it sounds like the roads that were going to circle Houston, Texas. The highway construction got about 25 percent done. And the highway became a very wide slow moving street.

      places I went camping and hiking in Texas are either under water behind a flood control dam or under a housing development. I was looking at Google maps and realized I would have to find new places to go to there.

    • One of my fave Hill Country deer stands is now someone's living room. I once killed a 9 and an 8 pointer with a bow...24 hours and one minute apart from this stand.

      Lest we forget.....

      Well....just invite yourself in and replace the stand with an easy chair, I could kill deer at my son's place while eating dinner if I open the door, they watched us eat while we watched them eat.
      I may grow old but I'll never grow up.
