ANNAPOLIS PLUS ONE2070 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. :)

Forest Service2117 viewsMet this man at the Catawba Falls, NC trail head.

I'll use him to just say thanks to the U.S. Forest Service for all their work on our trails.
Because of their work we have access to one of the worlds great resources, the United States Forest.

If he lets me know his name I'll make him a CREW MEMBER, a distinction most try to avoid.
