A recent college graduate and new to the area. She checked in here so she is now a crew member.

ANNAPOLIS PLUS ONE333 viewsI had the distinct pleasure of showing four members of the 2013 Annapolis graduating class around my favorite waterfall playground.

As soon as I get their names straight I will post them. From left to right, four Cadets, a friend and new crew member, Steve, and the little brown critter is Pumpkin.

How did the roaming knob get in there? Oh, the Falls is Pine Ridge Falls.

If they had tried a little harder they could have been in the Coast Guard. :)

Steve603 viewsSteve just became a crew member when he showed Bol"Dar an I how to get to Middle Flat Laurel Falls. He even took the time to make sure an Old Albatross reached the top of a difficult climb back up to the trail.

Next time we are passing through Asheville, NC and not having a near death experience with fatigue, we will stop by The Double Crown for refreshments.

Special Ops.529 viewsThis crew member can sniff where a bear walked two days earlier, drinks from a mud hole, always willing to lead and works for part of my snack and a scratch.

Did I say Bo knows hiking Looking Glass Rock. Only member of this group to look over the edge, fearless.

Derick546 viewsIt takes a tough photographer to stand in cold Greenland Creek in December.

Derick is now baptist as a crew member of OA.
He did this all day, just to get the shot.
