Outdoors is where I find solace and relaxation. It is my church. It is my tranquilizer against the craziness of life in our society. Sometimes I’m in need of an outdoor fix but I just can’t get away - for a myriad of reasons. That’s when “Appalachian Trail Reflections” comes to the rescue.
It’s a DVD [...]

My exposures to wind turbines as a hiker have been mainly positive. I encountered them on a wind-swept hill top while hiking across Spain and while on a day hike in California.

This world is getting more depressing every day. We’re spending billions on a war that makes the world hate us, meanwhile at home we’re in a recession and ignoring global warming, etc, etc. Then, today I read that Robert Redford plans to make and star in a movie based on Bill Bryson’s book “A Walk [...]

When Rich and I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail we tried to go as lightweight as possible. The only electronic gizmo we took was a small camera.

Who says New York City is all pavement and buildings? Oh, that was me. NYC is far from my favorite place on this Earth. But, as you can read in this blog posting, only a short distance north of the city, there are wonderful hiking opportunities.

I had a plan. But, like many plans made in the warmth of my living room, this one failed its first field test. I was backpacking for 6 months, hiking north along the Appalachian Trail with my husband Rich.
