Melvin Hazen Trail | Hike
March 28, 2021 We have done a fair bit of hiking, walking, and exploring in Rock Creek Park, so much so, that I typically will only track it on Strava or AllTrails and not even consider it as a post, as it becomes more of exercise versus adventure. We have been receiving glimpses of spring, …...
Prince William Forest Park | Hike
January 2, 2021 It seems we have a tradition of trying to hike around the new years. This year, we did a nice hike at Fort Totten Park on New Year’s Eve and then on the second, headed out to Prince William Forest Park for a longer hike. New Year’s Day this year was a …...
Columbia Air Center | Hike
November 27, 2020 After being in the house all day for Thanksgiving, we wanted to get out into the woods and do a little family hike. We had wanted to visit the Columbia Air Center recently, and ended up at the Patuxent River Park instead. While that park is nice, we were hoping to see …...
Greenbelt National Park | Hike
November 7, 2020 November 7th started the Hokie Hike 2020 Virtual Challenge. The boys were staying with their grandparents, so Linda and I decided we should go and hit a trail nearby and get ourselves and Heidi some exercise. We used to walk Greenbelt all the time, and we thought due to the pandemic it …...
2020 BROG Rooftop Tent Rally
October 16, 2020 The RoofTop Tent Rally is an event that was organized by Blue Ridge Overland Gear, Ranger John Fury, and the James River State Park. We have now attended two other Rooftop Tent Rallies and it’s always a great family event. Not only are there programmed activities, but it’s also great to spend …...
Paw Paw Tunnel | Hike & Camp
September 19, 2020 We got on the road around 11am, which was a little later than originally planned. I was a bit out of sorts, as I wasn’t used to packing up the Ascent. Seems I forgot a few things, such as skewers, carrots, and some other odds and ends (bags of ice for instance). …...
Seneca Rocks | Hike & Camp
June 12, 2020 We got a little bit of a later start then we were initially planning, but that seems to be the norm to some degree, though we were only a little late. Luckily we packed a lot of the items the night before since we now have the rooftop cargo box, which makes …...
Gunpowder Falls | Hike
May 2, 2020 We tried to get an early start on heading to the trail, anticipating eating lunch somewhere on the trail. We parked at the parking lot adjacent to the Gunpowder lounge which was already somewhat packed when we got there. They were completing work on the main parking area, so we had to …...
Hikes | Redwood Regional Park
Whenever we visit California, we try and get a hike or at least some good walking in. During our last trip, we headed up to the San Francisco area, so before we even landed, we knew we wanted to hit some Redwoods. We met up with Linda’s friend Alexis from the area, and she knew a …...
Angel’s Landing | Hike
September 14, 2015 Angel’s Landing is considered one of the top hikes in the world. It is located in Zion National Park in Utah. Though it is not the highest point in the park, it has some great views and provides a strenuous climb. We decided to get an early start for the Angel’s Landing …...
