Map reading11 viewsWe do a lot of these roadside conferences on our rides. This was near the Forks of Ivy, beside one of the two Paint Fork roads. Sometimes, the best rides are enjoyed when we don't where the heck we're at!

Paul on a huge greyback above Buck Fork27 viewsWe dropped into this open, park-like valley at about 3,500 feet on the north side of Buck Fork. The trees were huge, and the floor of the forest held a lot of huge greybacks that had, over eons of time, rolled in slow motion down from the rock bluffs above.

Hennessey in Cataloochee18 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 17 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 faith18 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

Selection of track casts20 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

Antje210 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.
