Derick2383 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.

Special Ops.2302 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.

Steve2490 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.
