    In July, I took a month off of work and travelled the country and went to Canada also. These are photos from Rock Point Provincial Park in Ontario on Lake Erie. I had actually hit a bear on the way to the campground and that kind of messed up my plans a bit … and…

    In the spring of this year, I wanted to do something decent — and work my way toward the 50-miler club — so I volunteered for the Cumberland Trail Conference hoping to pick up trash or something, but nope, it was to help build the trail. What a huge pain in the ass. The organizer…

    When I was on vacation this summer, I was driving around the country and wanted to check out the Field of Dreams. I am skeptical of everything so I feel this place is a money racket. However, I am a huge baseball fan and I have seen every baseball movie there is and this was…

    I took a month off from work in July of this year and travelled a lot of the country and some of Canada. On my return, I was going to spend a night at Indiana Dunes National Park by Lake Michigan. It’s partially my fault, because I believe I had to have misread the amenities.…

    This is my second hike since breaking my ankle in September and it was definitely much more strenuous than the last one. It wasn’t planned like most of my hikes are. I believe it’s a newer park and I checked a map to see what looked good in the area and saw there’s a swimming…

    This was an excruciating hike back and forth. This was in May of 2025. I sprained my ankle really bad on the way back and ended up breaking that same one less than four months later. More details soon.

    This was an interesting one that my aunt told me about. It is a former garbage dump in DuPage County, Illinois, near Chicago. It was a hot day in July of 2024 and with the breeze, I could smell trash, but it was a really nice place. I saw my first coyote in the wild…
