The Alabama Hills Stewardship Group, Inc. (AHSG) is a local group of Owens Valley community leaders who have partnered with the Bureau of Land Management over the last 10 years to help direct the management of this Special Recreation Area called the Alabama Hills. The goal is to make the Alabama Hills as accessible and activity inclusive as possible, while still preserving the semi-primitive and scenic landscape.
The AHSG is committed to protecting the jaw-dropping beauty of this area with continued access for hikers, motorists, photographers and rock climbers, while allowing important economic activities like commercial filming, cattle grazing, hunting/fishing and recreation to continue. Balancing all these needs is what makes the Alabama Hills so special to so many people and necessitates its protection. The AHSG, with support from dozens of local stakeholder groups, are promoting the effort to elevate the status of the Alabama Hills to a National Scenic Area.
-The Alabama Hills in Inyo County, California, contain nationally significant scenic, geological, cultural, recreational, biological, educational and scientific values. They are a uniquely weathered granitic boulder landscape at the foot of the High Sierra (and Mt. Whitney, the highest mountain in the lower 48 states).
-The Alabama Hills rise from the desert and provide a scenic backdrop for the community of Lone Pine, California. For thousands of years, the area has been continually used for subsistence, habitation and ceremonial purposes by the indigenous people known today as the Lone Pine Paiute-Shoshone Tribe. The Alabama Hills have inspired photographers Edward Weston, Ansel Adams and David Muench. Nearly 100 years of film history exists in the Alabama Hills from silent movies to state-of- the-art motion pictures such as Gunga Din, How the West Was Won and recently Ironman. Promotional product commercial filming crews work here regularly. The Jim and Beverly Rogers Film History Museum in Lone Pine, visited by thousands of people each year, contains extensive film history displays featuring the Alabama Hills.

My 100 miles began in July when we celebrated my niece's 40th birthday by walking the 40 miles along the Pictured Rocks National Forest shoreline. My niece, her 14 year old daughter, and I actually completed 60 miles in those three days, the rest of our family joining us for the final 15. It was truly one of the best experiences of my lifetime, the scenery along the trail rendering us completely speechless at times. My husband and our 12 pound shih tzu joined me for most of the rest of the 100 over the next months, the miles completed mostly on weekend camping trips at or near Soldier Lake, Michigan. The last 15, we completed back at Pictured Rocks earlier this month.
Ohhh yeah thats the way to have coffee .

It was an awesome experience doing the 100 mile challenge! I got in the bulk of my miles on monthly hikes with our hiking group that meets on Sundays and is led by Mark Roberts. In the winter months this involved snowshoeing. In the late spring and early summer it meant dealing from time to time with lots of mosquitoes and black flies. The fall was an absolutely glorious time to be out given the lack of pests and the presence of spectacular colors (although low on reds this year). I had to jam in a lot of miles late, but it was a great opportunity to see parts of the trail I hadn't seen before. There is so much beauty in Peter Wolfe Chapter, particularly in the Trap Hills. The trail is a hidden gem that I have tried to capture on my Tumblr blog called "Life in the North Country" at NorthCountryLiving. Check it out to enjoy highlights from my 100 miles!
I hiked 258.2 miles on the Superior Hiking trail – from the 270 degree overlook near the Canadian border to Hartley Nature Center in Duluth in 14 days. The scenery was more beautiful than I could have imagined – the raging rivers, meandering streams, foggy lakes, swimming moose, startled grouse and even the slippery mud pits make this trail special. Days were spent solo hiking, but I loved it when I arrived at camp to at least one other person – so many stories and trail tales!
Yeah dude latest Issue of the Walden Magazine and who is looking right at me ? One of my friends the dude Klaus Cosmo Frieser awesome!

A summer project of hiking the NCT from the East boundary of the Chippewa National Forest in Minnesota, heading West to Itasca State Park, and the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi River started with spring (in May) and finished with fall (in early November). The NCT was in excellent condition and ran through an outstandingly beautiful section of northern Minnesota.
In 2006 I Googled “places to hike in the northeast Ohio/Northwest PA”. The NCT came up & looked good, particularly the Allegheny NF section. I scheduled a weekend trip and was hooked; I had to return for more hiking and soon. That year I completed the section through Allegany SP in NY through Allegheny NF & Cooks Forest SP. I have repeated that hike a few times since and hike the ANF or most of it every year. I since have hiked the entire PA section, some of NY, the MI LP from the Manistee NF border through Wilderness SP. I have hiked the trail in the MI UP from the Hiawatha NF boundary to Pictured Rocks NL. Lots of other hiking & other obligations have slowed my progress some, but the hike I did this year (a re-hike through the east section of Hiawatha NF, Tahquamenon Falls SP & Lake Superior State Forest plus part of Allegheny NF) re-kindled my desire to complete the whole trail. That weekend trip in 2006 changed my life for the better in so many ways. The NCT has a special meaning to me.
One of my most memorable experiences hiking in 2016 was during my backpacking trip on the Border Route Trail in which we came across some secret waterfalls. By secret I mean it is buried in the wilderness, not easy to get to, not advertised anywhere I could find, and it isn't even on any maps. But it was beautiful. There were nine separate, 30-50 foot waterfalls that break off from one creek and then join back up again at the bottom.
Our twin daughters turned one on the Centennial which made the day very special! Made my first trip to the UP to hike Pictured Rocks. Thanks to my wife and to all the chapters for their hard work maintaining the trail.
The trickster coyote often works in a group to overwhelm and/or snatch from their prey.
One trick I find fascinating is when one (usually the youngest or smallest coyote) acts like they are tame, injured, or even playful. Meanwhile, the rest of the group flanks you while you take photos…
Death Valley, CA really has some hardened (and beautiful) coyotes.
My wife Candice and I set out this past year to complete the full Pennsylvania trail hike from the Ohio / Pennsylvania state line to the Pennsylvania / New York line. We began our journey back in January 2016 and periodically on weekends or work days off we hiked as much as possible. We should have finished our 100 miles sooner but, circumstances throughout the year caused a delay in the completion as we finished Christmas Eve 2016. This year 2017 we hope to complete the full hike of Pennsylvania from where we left off this year. This will ensure us to complete another 100 miles for 2017 as well. This 100 mile hike that we completed was a great experience of getting to enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature.
