This is the Ruger Single Six .22 caliber with the 22 long cylinder. I have the magnum cylinder for it as well but have never fired a round through it. For my tastes this is the perfect companion for extended stays in the backwoods. I don’t really like a heavy pistol and don’t need anything [...]
I was digging around in old photos and found a few of this Honda dirt bike I used to have. That is another passion of mine, dirt bike riding. My friend Dennie and I actually took a vacation here a few years ago just for the purpose of camping and bike riding. It is that [...]
I went for another hike in Breckenridge today armed with a camera I didn’t trust to take a good photo. Wouldn’t you know that this would be the day animals were out in abundance. I made a big circle going to the top of one hollow and crossing over two then coming back to where [...]
In the past I have told stories of Native Americans in relation to Peachtree Falls. These are stories that I have heard for as long as I can remember. Just down stream from the falls is a cliff overhang that would have been perfect for a camp all those years ago. This coming Labor Day [...]
Plans for hiking the Appalachian Trail are moving forward at a good pace. I now have a definite start date which is Sunday June 1, 2008. I plan to hike the north to south route starting in Baxter State Park in central Maine. I had a little bit of a tough time trying to decide [...]

A couple of days ago I went for a short hike here on Bolt Mountain. The area I was going hiking was within walking distance of my house. I was walking down a one lane road called Breckenridge trying to decide where to enter the woods. I had just come through a small curve when [...]
I’ve been thinking about the AT again. I’m going to move forward with plans to hike the trail in ‘08 and just hope that everything falls in to place before the time arrives. I’ve wanted to hike the trail for quite some time but before now taking that much time off of work was not [...]
Sorry, no hiking tips here.
Being an avid hiker I had been toying with the idea of writing a post with some hiking tips. But I decided against it.
So the purpose of this post is threefold…
First - To draw attention to a very well put together blog.Second - My small part in reducing redundancy [...]
The one that comes to mind I heard while camping in Millers Fork, which is in the head of Peachtree Hollow.
My dog Sam and I were out exploring the surrounding area and had just come up through the bed of a hollow. I was standing about 30 or 40 yards downhill from a gaswell road. [...]
