by

Shining Rock Wilderness

The Author on top of Shining RockFinally, I made it out to Shining Rock in the Shining Rock Wilderness of Western North Carolina.

by

Looking for possibly the smallest and lightest whistle on the market?  Well, check out the Titanium Whistle by 4Sevens.   It is an investment at $20, but the return is a 100 decibel pea-less whistle about the size of a few wooden matches.  It weighs .2 oz, or 5.6 grams.  As far as I know, this is the most elite of whistles for lightweight backpackers – small, loud and light, and let’s not [Read More]

Shining Rock Wilderness: Cold Mountain Hike

I set off to summit Cold Mountain at 6pm on Friday, June 24th.

I was concerned for a while that I had taken a wrong turn somehow since the Art Loeb trail (starting at the BS Camp) has no blazes. I camped for the night at 5000ft at Deep Gap. When … [Read More]

by

We’d always liked the idea of combining travel and volunteering. We’d talked about voluntourism. We’d thought about voluntourism. But we’d never actually done it.

Then one day a friend was talking about an upcoming trip to Kenya, a trip that would be a week and a half, a trip … [Read More]

Sarasota! Not Saratoga

I waited on a very long line to get a cab back to Manhattan from LGA.
