bib·li·o·phile - 1. A lover of books. 2. A collector of books.
Guilty as charged on both counts. I have been an active and sometimes obsessive reader from the days of The Hardy Boys. Anybody remember the original series? I was on every adventure ever undertaken by the Hardy boys. Most times I would be joining [...]

It looks like I am going to be getting on your nerves for awhile. I’ve been totally disabled until the end of April. Complications from the amputated fingers on the same hand as the broken thumb contributed to the extended disability.
I’m glad for that in only one way - I can continue my crusade unimpeded.
I’m [...]

Who me? Well maybe just a little.
Actually I’ve never really been too opinionated. I get that way when I see anything going on that is of a bullying nature. Massey Energy / Walker Machinery on one side - the people of Appalachia and the mountains on the other. I’ve always had a problem with bullies [...]

This post is basically just a big FYI.
I’ve brought the West Virginia Outdoors sub title back to this blog and have purchased outdoorswestvirginia.com. The new site will be much like the old site. Basically just an ordinary website with tons of info about recreational activity in and around West Virginia. This blog will once again [...]

You ever have one of those days where it seemed like the one nerve connected directly to your psycho impulse is right out there for everyone to trample on? My morning started early with a trip to the doctors office. I was already upset with workers comp over my broken thumb. Let me explain a [...]

… and a little bit of that.
It’s a love hate thing… I was tagged by Morgan from A Process of a Miracle to do this love hate meme. She was tagged by Mariuca.
1. I love to eat…. ice cream
2. I hate to eat…. green beans
3. I love to go….. hiking

First of all, Welcome to 2008 at the BackWoods Drifter!! This is going to be a great year. I think most people that visit here know about the hike so I’m not going to beat that dead horse… so to speak. What I will say though, five months and counting down. I hear the clock [...]

During my recent short visit to D.C., I didn’t take the first picture. That is odd for me and my ever present digital camera. The reason is quite simple though, pictures of Washington landmarks can already be found all over the internet. For example, how can I take a picture of the Washington Monument and [...]
