- Day Four -
We parked at a little picnic area on Two Medicine Lake. When we walked down to the shore it was absolutely breathtaking. The breeze from the water, the crisp air on our skin, the smell of pine & sweet grass. Everything about this place was majestic. We felt totally alive, we danced, we hugged, we sang. I even splashed a handful of water on my face just to feel refreshed. I always wanted to witness a place like this in my lifetime, and we did. There is truly no place like Montana.
"The Franklin Institute’s four-story Foucault’s Pendulum mimics an experiment undertaken by French physicist Jean-Bernard-Leon Foucault early in 1851. The experiment proved the nature of the Earth’s daily rotation around its axis. The fact that the Earth is spinning and the pendulum is swinging creates this interesting effect. At 9:30 am, the museum starts the pendulum swinging in a North-South direction. During the day, the pendulum knocks down a peg every 20-25 minutes, making it appear to change direction. By 5:00 pm, half of the pegs have been knocked down."

- Day Three -
Our adventure on day two led us all the way south through the Great Smokies and back. We enjoyed a relaxing night at Berry Springs Lodge and scouted out our adventure for the next day. Day three, we decided to head east, around the National Park instead.
We began in Gatlinburg, stopping at a few overlooks and admiring the town from above. We then followed Little River east, hiked at a few stops (Mom relaxed in her stone chair!), checked out Elkmont Campground, and eventually we made it to a man-made waterfall from the 1800s, "The Sinks".
We headed out of the National Park toward Townsend, a quaint little mountain town and onto Foothills Parkway, which skirted around the Great Smokies. It was a perfect road for bikers and sightseers. There were not many tourists at all but so many beautiful stops and overlooks.
One place in particular was Look Rock Tower, which was too high for Mom, but I had to check it out. I could see the highest peaks of the Smokies and an awesome panoramic view! After I came back down to find her, she had found some cool rocks to climb, lizards, and neat mushrooms for me to photograph.
We drove Foothills Parkway as far as we could, finally ending at Chillhowee Lake.

Mini Series: Downtown
This series was photographed in March 2018. Ben, an old friend of mine, was in Maryland for work. He was helping set up and manage a new shop in Columbia. He had never been to Maryland before and asked to meet up. I had never personally been to Ellicott City before, but my parents were married there. They told me it’s a rustic town that I would love photographing, so I asked if Ben would check it out with me. The area we explored sits in the woods with a creek/river running right through main street. We roamed downtown - the bridges, alleyways, abandoned buildings, parks, and the old train station. It was a quiet and mysterious place, like a setting Ben or I used to write about when we exchanged our fictional writing to each other. The town floods frequently and many places were boarded up, but we did find some really neat antique shops and enjoyed exploring this dreary, ominous city.

Finally taking the time for myself to gather, edit, and organize years of untouched photographs.

On the last day of our trip, it was time for all of us to split up and head home. Brent and Joel had several more days off and opted to stay in Africa. Nate, Vance and Greg had to go home and opted to fly standby through Europe. Luckily, I had Delta SkyMiles and cashed them in to fly back to America non-stop. But there's one more piece of the trip. The Delta non-stop flight back to ATL required a ton of miles that I didn't have. However, going to Saint Marteen in the Caribbean while connecting on the non-stop to ATL was less than half. So I opted to do that and spent two days in the Caribbean.
