“Dodging Bullets” (Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma – March 9, 2016 to March 20, 2016)
Boy was it a good thing that we didn’t do the trip in reverse (clockwise) as originally planned, because we would’ve really been screwed with the flooding there. Plus, we would’ve really been…
“Waterfalling The Heartland” (Great Lakes around Lake Erie and Lake Michigan – October 3, 2015 to October 9, 2015)
In any case, Julie had the bright idea of having Tahia hand over the bag of potato chips to the homeless person. His reaction to Tahia’s gesture was priceless. He smiled widely, and called Tahia…
“Lake Effects” (Great Lakes around Lake Superior, USA – September 25, 2015 to October 2, 2015)
Tahia thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and I knew that we were sharing one of those precious moments that I’m sure would stick in our minds for the rest of our lives. This was the kind of moment…
“National Mall Rats” (Nation’s Capital – June 9, 2014 to June 11, 2014)

“Patriot Acts” (New England, USA – September 25, 2013 to October 4, 2013)
During the 80 minutes of driving to this point, I was talking with Julie about the prospect of going all the way out to Acadia National Park and not being able to visit thanks to the shutdown…
“Mixing It Up In The Blue Grass” (Kentucky and Tennessee – October 21, 2012 to October 28, 2012)
Eventually, the trail started to hug some interesting cliff walls. But it was somewhere at this point that we spotted a deer carcass right next to the hiking trail. The carcass looked like it was…
“God Country” (Northern Georgia, Upcountry South Carolina, and Western North Carolina – October 13, 2012 to October 20, 2012)
While we were busy trying to figure out if we had indeed found the trailhead for Yellow Branch Falls, another vehicle pulled up into the lot. It was a lone man, and Julie was eye-ing him…

I felt strange carrying around a tripod and DSLR camera in hiking clothes in the urban jungle, but my mind left this awkwardness when we saw the impressive…
“Niagara Falls Every Which Way” (Niagara Falls – June 13, 2007 to June 14, 2007)
As the boat pulled away from the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, I suddenly felt something warm hit me in the face. It didn’t take long to figure out what had just happened…
