THESE ARE MY ADVENTURES...

ADVENTURE - OUTDOORS -
HISTORY - LIVING

I am a guy who loves living life to the fullest. You will find me out hiking the trails of East Tennessee, adventuring in the backcountry, or just visiting historical sites. I record it all here to share and hopefully inspire others to get outside. 

As always my friends, hike on and stay safe!

Camping Along the Bald River

July 26-27, 2025 - Hiked to a spot along Bald River for I have been wanting to camp at for a little while now. My friend and neighbor joined me for the festivities as I made lamb chops without being rushed like during my Little River Trip. It was a hot one but still enjoyed getting out.

- Return to Frank's Rock Update -

After running in to a technological snag, this video is going to be delayed. I had, what I thought, to be one of my best videos but when I started the editing process I had the wrong video settings assigned. When I uploaded the file to YouTube because it was edited in a different setting then it was rendered the file would not play correctly.

This means I am going to halve to start over the whole video over and re-edited all the clips. I want this one right for Frank, so if it takes longer so be it. I will keep everyone posted on how it is coming.

Mount Mitchell State Park, NC
Saturday, August 13, 2022

In honor of Mount Mitchell State Park finally opening after Helene damage I only thought it fitting to feature my loop hike. Just under nine miles this hike was beautiful and the only things I could of wished for was a clear view from the top of Mitchell.
