We are photographers, backpackers and admirers of the vast wilderness that lay amongst each mountaintop and valley. We do this not because of the photographs that we take, nor do we do this because we need a day off from work. We brave the cold and t...he unbearable winds because we have a passion to be out amongst the open, blue skies, the vast conifer forests, the bogs and wetlands, and the solitude that only nature can provide.

The following image was taken at Dolly Sods, October 12, 2009. I woke up at 5:30 AM to pack my tent up in the windy, 30F weather, freezing in four layers, and rushed down to Bear Rocks to capture the stunning sunrise. There were few others out there, only passing by these two photographers who hailed from Winchester, Virginia. I was later greeted by four others -- two of whom were from San Diego and came up here to "brave the cold and see the wild and the wonderful West Virginia."

This truly is a wild and wonderful natural area.

I had this image sitting on my HD and just wanted to put it up. I thought the boulder configuration was quite interesting.

This was from my photo-safari through Canaan Valley a week ago. This is up on Dolley Sods WV. I think I will try to journey up there again soon, but this time on a nicer weather day.

A sod cutter makes quick work of taking up the sod. the thought was that we could make nice trenches in the yard to install the EZ Flow. Didn't quite work out that way as you will see which is often the case when dealing with unknown subterranean conditions.
