  • 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…

  • DE-Ebright Azimuth

    Summit Date March 5th, 2011; around 1:00pm Party Ryan Cragun (+ some random guy who was sitting on a bench and all the people who were driving past at the time) Trip Report I drove down to Ebright Azimuth from High Point, NJ, which I had visited earlier that day.  This highpoint is, quite literally,…

  • 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…

  • TX-Guadalupe Peak

    Summit Date August 15th, 2010 Party Tom Triplett, Mark Woolley, and Ryan Cragun Trip Report We didn’t hike a state highpoint in 2009 as traveling to one from where we were all living was a bit too far.  But due a recent move for Mark (to Arizona), driving to Texas to hike Guadalupe Peak made…

  • Oregon trip – day 2 – Heceta Head Lighthouse and Hobbit Beach

    I was super excited to get out and do some hiking, since I don’t get to do much in Tampa and the little hiking I get to do does not include hills – seriously, not even like large piles of dirt.  It must be the fact that I grew up on the side of a…

  • Boyd Hill Nature Preserve

    Toren and I went for another hike last Sunday.  This time it was to Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in St. Petersburg.  I couldn’t really get a good sense of what to expect from the website.  Basically, there is a learning center and a nature preserve on Lake Maggiore.  Once you’re in the preserve, you’d never…

  • hiking with Toren

    In preparation for a trip this summer, we picked up a baby backpack.  I spent quite a while looking at packs online and eventually went with the Deuter Kid Comfort III. It’s expensive, but thanks to one of our credit cards we get REI credit, so we didn’t pay very much for it.  And, well,…
