I hike, I wander, I poke about; and with luck I find lots of things that fascinate me along the way.

"Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread." - Edward Abbey

Oh and I usually haul trash back to the car at the end of my hikes. Please help keep our public lands clean. Leave only footprints ... take only photos (well and a few interesting rocks where permitted).

I found this old photo of me ... stomping off for a toddler's "hike".
