Cooldown Ride42 viewsThis is my favorite 'home' ride, along the East Fork of the French Broad River, between Rosman, NC and Hwy. 276 south of Brevard. Lots of twisties, with a roller coaster of hills tossed in for good measure. Good farm country and very little traffic. I behave myself on this one - it's a wind-down ride, not a race.

Old Dan Cook apple house in Little Cataloochee82 viewsCook's restored cabin is across the trail from this old applehouse. Today, it's hard to believe that the remote, quiet valley was once a busy community.

Say what???44 viewsThis one gave me a start in Port Angeles early one morning. It's one of those deals when you look up, read something, look away - then, "whuttheheck???" Then I noticed the part of the sign hidden behind the post. In all fairness, the restaurant has a reputation for having some of the finest Chinese food on the Peninsula.

The griztruk (now Paul's truck) in Wyoming71 viewsI usually stop for my first night in Wyoming in the Happy Jack area west of Cheyenne and east of Laramie. It's a great place to wind down from 1700 miles of driving in two days. It's BLM and Forest Service land, much abused and overused, but it does the job for an overnight spot on the road to Yellowstone.

A shady way across the Chilhowee Mtns.78 viewsLeaving Tennessee after a weekend trip, I head out past Gretch and Paul's place, passing beneath the Foothills Parkway and dropping down into Happy Valley. It's a beautiful ride.Jul 13, 2008

Hennessey in Cataloochee119 viewsA good way to spend a wet summer's day - bushwhack away from the fly-blown, chopped up trail in Cataloochee and kick back in the Hennessey to relax and listen to the rain come down. I have Brian to thank for getting me into summer bushwhacking - I doubt that I'll ever do some of the stuff that he enjoys - I have a deathly fear of poison oak - but so long as you watch your step, it's a great way to spend a cool day.Jul 13, 2008

Slidin' Falls on the Cullasaja River 107 viewsDown in the Cullasaja Gorge, these falls near Highlands draw a big crowd on July 4th. Some folks chose to slide down the falls into the deep pool below. Choose the wrong line, and there is about a four foot drop onto the rocks near the bottom. Good fun all around!Jul 05, 2008

Cullasaja Gorge leap of faith151 viewsThis popular swimming hole on the Culasaja River near Highlands, beside Hwy. 64, was packed with families enjoying the July 4th holiday. The jump from the cliff is about 20 feet into icy water. Some of the jumpers took a long, long time to take the leap.Jul 05, 2008

Wayah Road106 viewsJuly 4th, great day to ride Hwy. 64 from Brevard to Franklin, and then cut across the Wayah Road to Nantahala. Terrific weather and light traffic. Doesn't get much better on a bike.Jul 05, 2008

Selection of track casts127 viewsFrom the left - average sized griz track, bottom center is a grey wolf, and the top center and top right are black bear casts from the Great Smokies. The blackie tracks haven't been cleaned yet - after cleaning they will resemble the griz track in detail. Jul 02, 2008

Antje346 viewsGreat friend from way back. We met near Green River, Utah when she was making her first trip to America after the Iron Curtain fell, freeing the people of the former East Germany to travel, and travel they did. She couldn't believe the great wide open of the west, and was amazed that we were free to go wherever we wanted. The abundance of goods in grocery stores was a constant source of amazement to her. That was a long time ago, but she remains one of my best friends.

Camp on Capers Island304 viewsIt sounded like a cool thing to do - camp within a few feet of the pounding surf. Well, actually it was, but sleep was out of the question. It was loud! The logs scattered along the beach were tossed by the surf, crashing here and there with loud booms. I finally gave it up and went for a 1 a.m. walk south along the edge of the surf. I'm glad that I did. Ships waited just off the coast to enter the harbor in Charleston, looking like brightly lit cities at sea.

Ghost Forest at Capers Island286 viewsHurricane Hugo did a number on Capers Island when it roared ashore in 1989. It hit with winds of 138 miles an hour and a 20 foot storm surge. It swamped a large area of forest, so that today, a ghostly forest rises from the surf at high tide.
