Missed chance at sunset with the new reverse grad, so decided on some light trails down by the river. This is bridge that crosses Griggs Reservoir at Hayden Run Rd. Tried to get the car light trails to converge at stop light on other side of bridge.
In May 1838 soldiers, under the command of Gen. Winfield Scott, began rounding up Cherokee Indians in this area who had refused to move to Indian Territory (Oklahoma). About 15,000 Cherokees were places in stockades in Tennessee and Alabama until their removal. Roughly 3,000 were sent by boat down the Tennessee River and the rest were marched overland in the fall and winter of 1838-39. This forced removal under harsh conditions resulted in the deaths of about 4,000 Cherokees.
In late June 1383 a party of 1,040 poorly equipped Indians was marches overland from Ross' Landing at Chattanooga, TN to Waterloo, AL because of low water in the upper Tennessee River. Following the general route of present-day U.S. Hwy 72, they camped at Bolivar, Bellefonte, and Woodville (Jackson County, AL). About 300 escaped along the way, and on June 26, the remainder refused to process from Bellfonte. The local militia, under the command of Army Capt. G.S. Drane, was called out to get the group started and escort it to Waterloo. Arriving in miserable condition on July 10, 1838, the Cherokees were placed on boats to continue their journey West.
The "Trail of Tears", which resulted from the Indian Removal Act passed by U.S. Congress in 1830, is one of the darkest chapters in America history.
This historical marker will forever mark the beginning of this "Trail of Tears".
This wasn't here last week...
I have been riding this trail at Stony Creek Metropark in Oakland Township Michigan for the past 26 years and something seemed wrong as I exited the prairie trail and entered the woods. The little brook at the edge of the woods cut a couple foot gully into the trail.
On August 11, 2014, Metro Detroit received 4 inches of rain in about three hours time. This is the second rainiest day since 1925 and more rain than we normally see for all of August.
This is also amazing because the source of this little stream is not far from this location.

Our return hike on Meadow Creek Trail in Nez Perce National Forest, Idaho
June 5, 2010: After weeks of heavy rains and wondering if summer was ever going to come, we were blessed with a beautiful day. With most of our area rivers under flood watches, we decided that fishing was out. Yet we wanted to enjoy the beautiful day. We grabbed our hiking gear and my camera and drove 3 hours through the towns of Lewiston, Orofino, Kamiah, Kooskia, and Lowell Idaho and along the Clearwater and Selway Rivers to the Meadow Creek Trailhead above Selway Falls. We hiked 6 miles along Meadow Creek and were thrilled that we only saw one other group the entire time.

Sometimes we get so lost in our thoughts as we hike the backwoods, and then suddenly "whispers" get our attention. Natural nuances... spring in process!

The Honopu Ridge Trail winds it's way through dark forests, thick vegetation, and along ridgetops, as it leads to a stunning viewpoint. It is best to wear light long pants or the ferns will be scraping across your legs for the first mile. There is a good bit of descent in the first mile and a half, it's not that much different than many of the ridges in the area. The trail is not officially maintained or marked so you must climb over or under many fallen trees, and climb down steep slopes. Honopu Ridge Trail is a 4.6 mile hike that takes you to incredible views of Honopu Valley and a portion of the Na Pali Coastline. The trail drops about 1,650ft in elevation from the trailhead to the ridge.
We started the hike at 7:00am and ended at 10:30 am. It is best to do this trail mid day for the proper light. I would not suggest to do this trail on a wet day.
Day 93 - November 4, 2009 - Zion National Park, Utah
This is a view of the narrowest section of the Angels Landing Trail. The part in the middle is about 3 feet wide and the canyon floor is 1000+ feet below. The majority of that last 0.5 mile from Scout Lookout to the top of the Angels Landing is NOT exposed (with this spot being the most exposed portion).

This is my second attempt ever to shoot star trails. This was shot at the Naples Pier in Florida, USA.
Kuilau Ridge Trail is a very nice hike. The first part is on an asphalt base path that has a gentle incline. The path continues to be wide and un-rutted but still muddy in spots. After about 30-40 minutes, the 1 mile mark, you will reach a small grassy picnic area overlooking a valley. You can see Mt. Wai’ale’ale and the Makaleha Mountains if it’s clear. Across the first valley you will see powerlines which follow the Kualapa Ridge. The Powerline Trail follow these power poles across the island. From the right side of the clearing looking east you will see the trail switchbacking below you where the Kuilau Ridge Trail ends and the Moalepe Trail begins. Continue down the path to the right
to see winding, rolling hills and a view to the Nounou Mountains and ocean. Once you reach the wooden bridge (Opaekaa Stream) you reach the end of the Kuilau Ridge Trail and the start of the Moalepe Trail.
To get to Kuilau Ridge Trail you continue to drive past Opaekaa Falls to the end of the road. Just before you get to the Keahua Forest Arboretum and the first stream crossing. The trail is on the right. Total round
trip distance is 4 1/2 miles and 760 feet elevation change.

One of the most convenient amenities for students and residents at The Waters is the Trail to Education, a path that leads directly from The Waters to the Pike Road Elementary School. The trail is accessible by foot, bike — and even golf cart. It is open year-round and offers students and parents a safe car-free route between home and school.
It’s the coolest car-pool line around!
