Trail Adventures on my Blog
A not-comprehensive list of the stories and photos of my off pavement adventures. Some have more photos than words. Some only give a hint to the location. Over the years I've become more jaded about the vandalism and lack of respect that I've seen in remote historical and natural locations, and I'm not as inclined to divulge specifics as I was when I first started exploring.
