New And Fresh1278 viewsBeside the clear cold creek these flowers burst forth announcing the return of Spring to Buffalo Mountain Camp.

Cabin Creek Falls1414 viewsEasily accessed from Grayson Highlands State park about a mile round trip from the parking lot on top.

First Trip 1272 viewsBJ made her first trip to the bottom of Linville Gorge. She sure was a great hiking pal.

Actually she had no trouble and we had energy to see the Plunge Pool.

If you are reasonably fit and visiting Western North Carolina, you should go down to the gorge. After the crowds go home and during the work week this is a wonderful place to sit in awe of what time and water has wrought.

Richardson Falls1238 views

My Iron Man Is A Woman1208 viewsMy Granddaughter competing and winning a local bike race.

She is my Iron Man (iron Woman) because she finished Iron Man Louisville.

A little more effort and she may be able to qualify as an "Old Albatross" crew member.

Ramsey Creek Falls1279 viewsOur Camp has a waterfall.

Marine and Army hiking buddy1451 viewsShe is a Marine just coming down from the NYC Marathon.
He is and army Vet that answered the call and is coming down also, just not the same marathon.

You are a special treat for this Oldalbatross and renew my faith in young Americans.

Panther?1345 viewsCould this possibly be a Rock Island State Park Panther?

Since being ordained a Tennessee citizen, way back in 1976 I have heard the stories about panthers that lurk in the mountains.

This was sighted right out our back door when we checked in at the park.

Should I have listened to Lou and not risked our life and limb by checking in after dark in a place where waterfalls emerge from cliffs, but have no visible river?

To find out, check under Planes, Trains and Odd things, Critters answer no. 2

Good Rep For the Van Fleet Trail1845 viewsMet this pleasant fellow while biking on the James A Van Fleet Trail of Florida. He filled us in on the history of the trail.

The trail is over 29 miles long and straight as it cold be. Great place to see wild life.Feb 26, 2015

Good Directions1545 viewsMet these folks just above Catheys Creek Falls and they were kind enough to give us a short cut to Bird Rock falls, Thanks. The dogs must have moved just as I snapped the camera.Jan 18, 2015

Charlie 1781 viewsWe met Charlie on Little Stony Creek Trail accompanying his friend down a very cold trail.

After making sure we were no threat he assumed his watch atop the back pack. When his transportation knelled down Charlie took his post atop the back pack. No, he did this willingly of his own accord. Dec 31, 2014

Coast Guard Brat!1605 viewsOne of these fine folks we met up Little Stony Creek turned out to be a Coast Guard Brat.

Oh don't get upset, that is a term of endearment for offspring of members of the Coast Guard family.

As soon as I get first names they will become members of our crew.

SEMPER PARATUS!Dec 30, 2014

Craftsman1687 viewsMet this kind man near Dayton, TN. While having a hard time photographing Sandhilll Cranes he saw us and invited us onto his property.

He was such an interesting fellow I forgot to photograph the Cranes. Study this face and you will find a personality that is rare today.

He gave us the tour of his property, which includes a woodworking shop of beauty.

As soon as he contacts us we willl add him permanently to the web site and see if we can show off some of his craft.Jan 12, 2014

Summers Almost Gone1528 viewsAn old song goes something like, Summers come and gone and Winters coming on....

This old pony has a few too many battles in his past and looked dejected with the chilly Fall winds blowing. Oct 13, 2013

Wild Ponies1464 viewsA joy to watch the kids with the herd of 'Wild" ponies. They do bight and kick though.Oct 13, 2013

Old Albatross
