I have to admit something. Of all the years I’ve been hiking the White Mountains in New Hampshire, I’ve never climbed up Mt. Monadnock in the southern part of the state. I always thought that since it was so close to Massachusetts, it probably wasn’t as high or challenging as its brethren up north. I was wrong. I went up to hike Mt. Monadnock with … Continue reading Dramatic skies over Mt. Monadnock

During which, I experienced a totally different wilderness in the Coast Mountain Range of Canada.

That being said, I can honestly say that New Hampshire is still one of the most brilliant locations I’ve ever ventured through. A short 3 hour drive north from my mission HQ in … Continue reading The National Park Service 100th Anniversary and an overnight hike on Mt. Carrigain

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. – Carl Sagan Star trail photography really fascinates me.

The axis point is the spot where you can see little to no star movement. The further away from the axis we … Continue reading Waiting to be known

The small strips you see on the right side of the photo is a … Continue reading Atop Mt. Webster
