My friend Mountainsaver and I went riding and camping in Martins Creek yesterday through today.
Martins Creek is in the head of Peachtree. I’ve been wanting to go there camping for a while to see if there was any ginseng growing there. We camped nearly in the head of the hollow at what used to be [...]

During the hiking part of the weekends adventure I came across these strange rocks in an area that had a coal bed sitting on it before. The removal of the coal and a little bit of erosion had uncovered these rock formations.

Just from some basic observations I’m guessing this is a petrified tree root system [...]

This is a continuation of the last post.
The second day started almost as nice as the first day ended. I slept longer than I had intended. It was about 7:30am when the sun finally woke me up. I had wanted to get up earlier and catch the sunrise but I was pretty wore out from [...]

I traded my hiking boots for four mud tires this weekend and headed to the mountains. Sometimes, with me anyway, it is better not to plan a camping trip but instead just keep everything ready and when the opportunity presents itself take advantage of it. I had been keeping a close watch on the weather [...]

This photo is of a place called Peachtree Hole. Back when I was a teenager this was one of my favorite fishing spots. The first real camping trip I ever went on without supervision was right here. I was probably around 12 at the time. It was only about a mile from where I grew [...]

Unfortunately all of my plans to go to the mountains have been delayed because of the weather. It seems like ever since making those plans the weather has been in a foul mood. I am still hoping to go sometime in the near future but I believe I am just going to leave my gear [...]

When you go on a long hike - what is the essential gear you take? When I say long hike I mean when you plan on hiking for longer than a day.
My regular long hike gear includes - backpack, Ozark dome tent (3 person capacity), 3lb sleeping bag, Garmin GPS, CaseXX hunting knife, small binoculars, [...]

Another benefit I have recently discovered to moving my blog - I can now do scheduled posting. I’m not 100% sure I couldn’t do that with Blogger but I am 100% sure I couldn’t figure out how.
The last post to this blog was done with scheduled posting. I actually wrote that post when I wasn’t [...]

What can I say besides - I needed that.
My friend Dennie arrived from Ohio Thursday evening. I must be in Mother Natures good graces. It was nasty the day before he got here - it warmed up into the high 60’s the first day of his visit and the low 60’s the next. Today, Dennie [...]

I finally got the redirection to work - somewhat. It still doesn’t go to the corresponding post from a post on the old blog but from an individual post on the old blog will bring you to this sites main page. I can live with that.

I probably won’t be posting to the blog after today [...]
