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 [...]

I’ve done a lot of thinking and quite a bit of talking about the urge to move. I’ve come to two conclusions. The first being that it is going to happen. I’m still not sure of where I’m going but I know now of the means in which I will use to reach my destination.
I’ve [...]
Imagine… this hillbilly with a voice in Washington. This country would never again be the same.
Actually I’m going up there to do some work that has to do with Homeland Security but I can’t tell you what it is, for your own safety of course. I’ll be on the road tonight [...]
Being on the road a lot has a drawback. I’m losing my ties to the blogging community. I feel I have made some great friends since starting this blog. Some would say that it’s no big deal, it’s just the internet. To that I would say, a friend is a friend. This I know, being [...]

As I suspected before I left, this is definitely more than a 3 or 4 day job. Two weeks is closer to the truth. The [...]
The ability to adapt and overcome in a difficult situation. To be able to face adversity and come out unscathed. Those are kind of sarcastic definitions for my job. I started this latest two week journey working in a tunnel 730 feet underground in the coalfields.
The two weeks ended 76 feet above a warehouse floor [...]
After all this time I have finally been able to capture the elusive rvnx11 in it’s natural habitat. All it took was a timer… imagine that. Here we see him in the company of giant oak trees. You can see why he is so elusive. He is wearing tan hiking boots and camo pants. Hell, [...]
It’s time to go on the road again. I tried to visit as many blogs as time allowed. I knew the blogging community would get along fine without me.
At any rate I wanted to leave you with an idea. I’ve been hosting websites and blogs for a few years now. When I first [...]
During the last two trips into Logan county, coworkers have been seeing a white doe about a mile down the road from the job. I have never seen a white deer and have been dying to see this one. I want to get a picture of it in the worst kind of way. A friend [...]
