Scotland Adventure – Day 1 – the Pap of Glencoe
I spent July 3rd through the 6th in London at an academic conference. With my airfare covered by my university, and having made two prior trips to England for conferences, I thought it might be fun to extend this trip by a few days to see more of the United Kingdom. I asked Debi if…

hike at Cypress Creek Preserve
Toren and I went on a hike on Thanksgiving to a nature preserve here in Tampa called Cypress Creek Preserve. Parts of the hike were really pretty. Parts were less so. Here’s our route: The hike was 4.6 miles. I shot a couple videos of some of the prettier parts of the hike:

Summit Date 8/16/2011 – around 8:20 am Party Tom Triplett and Ryan Cragun Trip Report Due to a rather last minute work issue, Mark was unable to hike Mount Whitney with Tom and I. With his blessing, Tom and I decided to still hike Mount Whitney. We had decided on Mount Whitney as we had…

Jacksonville weekend getaway
With Debi taking classes most of the summer and me trying to get some research done, we decided to not take any big vacations and instead do a couple of weekend getaways. We had previously used Priceline.com to book nice hotels in Miami for cheap, so we figured we’d try the same website with different…

McKay Bay Wilderness Trail
I took Toren hiking June 12th at a new location. I’m always looking for local hikes that are a couple of miles in length as that is about how long Toren will last in the backpack. I found this one right on the bay. Basically, McKay Bay Park is a barrier between the trash incinerator…

Hilton Head, SC
We had big plans for Hilton Head, but we weren’t really prepared for Hilton Head. Debi asked me the night before we left what the forecast was for Hilton Head. I swear the website I checked said it was going to be in the 40s the entire time we were going to be there. So,…

NJ-High Point
Summit Date March 5th, 2011; around 8:00 am Party Ryan Cragun Trip Report I drove from Hartford, CT to the highpoint. For some reason I thought highpoints in New England would be accessible and not particularly cold in early March. I was wrong. High Point was covered in snow and the entire hill was blanketed…

RI-Jerimoth Hill
Summit Date March 4th, 2011; around 4:45 pm Party Ryan Cragun Trip Report I was doing some work in Hartford, CT, and decided I wanted to see a little bit of the surrounding area. As I hadn’t done any of the highpoint in the area, I figured I’d give it a whirl and…

Tampa Bypass Canal hike
Toren and I went hiking again today. I’m constantly looking for new places to hike and found one using a hiking guide book some friends gave me (available here). Using the guide, I tried a new hike – the Tampa Bypass Canal. I didn’t realize there was a canal in Tampa that takes water from…
