Misc.
Years ago I developed a passion for walking in the woods. This site was first developed as a way to share my love for backpacking through my online journals. Soon, I was discovering other areas of life that I enjoyed “walking” through – and so I continued to journal. This site is now dedicated to more than just taking a walk through the woods. It has become a collection of resources for those who “walk” in other ways. Feel free to read, share, and comment on what you find.
Anniversary of the Patterson/Gimlin Film

Brian from HBF Outdoors had reached out to Sasquatch Fuel, and they had very generously agreed to sponsor the trip by donating some dehydrated meals. My very first impression of the meals was, “Wow! These packages are light!” Weighing in at around 5.5 […]

Romancing the Trail Turns Eleven Years Old
It was eleven years ago, Oct 01, 2007 – my birthday to be exact – that I received my first shipment of Romancing the Trail books. After years of work it had finally happened. I’ll never forget seeing my first book in print. I’ll never forget seeing my name on the book cover. It felt […]
My Final Argument for Faith
For quite a long time I have been interested in apologetics. Apologetics is a written or verbal defense of something. In my case, it has been a defense of the Christian faith. Anyone who looks over my various blog articles will quickly sense that this is a running theme of mine. My interest in apologetics […]
