Watch Your Step!

Grassy Ridge Panorama

I finally made it to Grassy Ridge! I have wanted to finish this hike for some time, but have been unable to for various reasons. From Carvers Gap to Grassy Ridge is about two and a half miles, with a lot of up hill and a lot of rocky trail. What a feeling of accomplishment and fatigue, and what a view!

Eclipse Sequence for Facebook

The total eclipse of 2017 was an awe inspiring sight. I felt the same way as when I first saw Niagara Falls. I rarely use the word awesome, but there is hardly any other word to describe it.
