I often go hiking and biking on the many miles of trails just behind the school, but the woods in Tennessee are no comparison to the great outdoors in Oregon.
The little car that could; my Corolla that David Hermens game me a few years ago has made the trip across the country three times now. Hopefully it will make one more trip home in December. Thanks again to David for the car and to Dave Williams for keeping it running great for me.
60 pounds of backpack on a 24 mile trip on the Appellation Trail was lots of fun, especially after it rained on us all day long.
The end of a very long 7.5 mile hike in the rain on the Appellation Trail, luckily there are nice shelters like this one built about every ten miles along the trail.
I went on a backpacking trip with my PE class near Abram's Falls in the Smokey Mountains last October. Although the Smokey’s are very disappointing compared to the mountains in Oregon, it is a pretty nice area as far as Tennessee goes.
Foster Falls is one of the nicest places I’ve been hiking in Western Tennessee.
My first rock climbing experience, but I don’t think that clinging to a nearly vertical rock face is my idea of fun.
My room where most of my studying fun takes place, but it really isn’t this bad most of the time.
