What's Up With The New Features?

Hey everyone, hope things are going well and you're doing a lot of exploring. I've added a few new features to the site, including gifts and something called "Qik." In case you've never heard of it, Qik is a live video service and can be used by people with those super duper smart phones. I don't know if any of you are interested in using this, but it was easy to add to the site and I thought it might be cool if it was even used once. So, if there are any of you out there with an iPhone 3GS, an… Continue

Peak Fall Colors on Hold

I expected the Fall colors to be peaking by now, but it looks like the next 2 weeks will see the best of the colors in the Kentuckiana area. On Saturday, I hiked 2 trails in Bernheim Forest (Cull Hollow and Guerilla Hollow) and the colors were definitely coming on, but as of now, the deep reds and oranges aren't quite there yet. Here are a few early fall color images from Saturday. Look for a few hiking blogs in the next 2 weeks as I've had quite a few awesome adventures since my last entry.… Continue

Hiking Denied!

Big Bummer. I was supposed to go on 4 day hike over Fall Break with some scouts, but Dad lost his job last month. We don't have Medical insurance and Dad hasn't bought any Temporary medical replacement insurance yet, so I am not allowed to go. I guess I just have to sit an my padded room and not get hurt until th… Continue

Bhutan Travel destination in Asia !

Kingdom in the Sky! “What we have in Bhutan today to offer is what others don’t have at all. It’s virtually a very unique destination and is priceless. Money can not buy what we have offer. If you are seeking five star comforts, a shopping paradise or lot’s of nightlife, Bhutan is not a destination to come. But, on the other hand , in the 20th century, if you are looking for a destination where you can experience something of the past as well as something of the present ,well Bhutan is the plac… Continue

Camping Trip to Boundary Waters

The weather is really getting right to camp. I love the fall leaves and the cool weather. If I were taking a group to the boundary waters (between Minnesota and Canada) to canoe, would it be wise to get some sort of Temporary insurance. I am not sure that everyone in the group has Medical insurance. I want to mak… Continue

X Games Medalist Young Takes a Dive - From Killer Tabletops to Wrecks and Reefs

Since he was a kid, Gary Young, 2009 ‘X’ Games BMX Freestyle Bronze Medalist, has been defying gravity, hanging in the air twisting and turning on his bike. Now he is taking his love of extreme activities down under the sea. “Snorkeling was really like the gateway for me to get into diving.” said Young, 26. “I started snorkeling a few years ago and it really sparked my interest. I learned about sea life and hanging out under water was a new thing for me. It’s always been something I’ve been int… Continue

The Pinnacle

On Thursday, September 17th, my friends Chris, Tere and I went out for a hike on the Appalachian Trail at the Pinnacle. The Pinnacle is hailed as the most famous view off the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania and it lived up to it's reputation. We picked a good day as it was supposed to be raining all day so there was nobody on the trail except for the local Boys and Girls Club with their mentors and 2 thru-hikers. Even though the forecast said rainy, the day turned out to be beautiful and arou… Continue

Arches and Sunsets at Red River Gorge

Arches and Sunsets at Red River Gorge Click through for the remainder of the blog post, along with photographs and links. My leg was quite stiff from a spill on my Cannondale SystemSix 4, where a softball-sized knot formed on my right knee after I did a quick save of my bike, but not my body. But I was not about to let a beautiful, sunny Saturday… Continue

Red River Gorgeous

Red River Gorgeous Click through for the remainder of the blog post, along with photographs and links. It was a sunny Saturday in late August when I trekked to Red River Geological Area in Kentucky to explore some of the trails on the eastern front near Swift Creek and the Clifty Wilderness.

My Yearling Encounter

The Siltstone Trail in Jefferson Memorial Forest has a small section near the Scott's Gap Rd. trailhead that is only twenty paces wide. What makes this section unusual is that this short width extends for many miles in length. It is what I like to call a power line cut; an area kept clear of forest for high tension power lines that extends to the highest point you can see in both directions, and beyond. After hiking the entire 12 miles of the trail from Scott's Gap Rd to the Welcome Center and… Continue

PADI Divers Encourage AWAREness of International Ocean Clean-up

The world’s oceans are fast becoming a toxic and dangerous trash can for marine life. But this September the largest assembly of divers and like minded volunteers will join in a global clean up aimed at helping preserve the marine environment. “Even trash in Kentucky eventually washes out to the sea,” says Jenny Miller Garmendia, Director of Project AWARE Foundation (PAF), a nonprofit organization that conserves underwater environments through education, advocacy and action. “The challenge arou… Continue

Trail Shorts: August 2009

Short stories from trails around Kentuckiana Do You Smell Cucumbers? On a recent hike, I joined the Louisville Hiking and Backpacking Meetup Group in Jefferson Memorial Forest. (A great group if you're looking to get into the local outdoors!) During the hike, I heard an interesting rumor about smells on the trail. That's right, smells. Apparently, it is a popularly held belief that if you smell cucumbers while hiking, it means that there is a copperhead snake nearby. After a lit… Continue

Dolliver Park, Iowa

I got up around 8 this morning and Jaime, Mason, and I took off for Dolliver. This is just a warm up for more to come but we hiked an estimated 3 miles up and down forest filled bluffs, over wooden bridges deep under the forest canopy and through to a scenic overlook where you can see nothing but trees. I wish we could've gone farther and I wish we could stay in this state longer but I will have more entries to come from Texas and pictures to upload. Continue

Hike Bike Pike in Bernheim Forest

While doing a little research online for an upcoming blog, I was looking at the map of Bernheim Forest and came upon a surprise. Having been a visitor to Bernheim since I was 3 years old, I thought I knew the name and location of every trail in the park. But lo and behold, there it was, a brand new trail just outside the main body of the park called the Hike Bike Pike. So captivated was I by the thought of a new trail in Bernheim Forest, I made plans to visit it the very next day. The Hike Bik… Continue

Fairmount Falls, Jefferson Forest Gem

There is a gem of a trail hiding in Jefferson Forest. It's not very long, and it's certainly not well known, and it's hiding one of the more spectacular attractions in all of Louisville. It's called Fairmount Falls, and I can only describe it with a single word; WOW. Before I let you in on this secret, lets look at some facts. The Fairmount Falls trail (not Fairmont, like the sign at the trail head spells it) is approximately 1.1 miles long, located off of Thixton Lane in southern-central J… Continue
