“Onward from vast uncharted spaces, Forward through timeless voids, Into all of us surges and races The measureless might of the wind. In the steep silence of thin blue air High on a lonely cliff-ledge, Where the air has a clear, clean rarity, I give to the wind...my pledge: “ By the strength of my arm, by the sight of my eyes, By the skill of my fingers, I swear, As long as life dwells in me, never will I Follow any way but the sweeping way of the wind.” Published in On Desert Trails with Everett Ruess, G.J. Bergera & W.L Rusho (Eds.

May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.” Edward Abbey

Between stars – on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home To scare myself with my own desert places.”
Robert Frost

Camping with our T&B Trailer in the Hocking Hills of Ohio
Welcome to “My Quality time”…. Linda and I recently
did a little camping/hiking in the Hocking Hills area
of Ohio. We love our T&B ( Little Guy ) camping trailer
For a little wandering music…
With all the rain we have had there was a little
extra water going over the falls.
Top photo the lower falls at Old Mans cave. This photo is
of the falls at Ash Cave.

Abandoned airport on top of 4200 foot mountain
Pretty windy…. makes for difficult landings/takeoffs.
"Getting to the top of the mountain is optional. Getting down is mandatory."
Linda and I just spent a week in the mountains of North Carolina. What a great place
for some hiking,sightseeing,and just relaxing.
