Cool Stuff:

I had the privilege of living in the Smoky Mountains for four years of my life.  So naturally for more reason than one the Smoky Mountain National Park holds a special place in my heart.  Specifically areas like Mt. Leconte, the Greenbrier National Park area among many others.  Check out the official site of the GSMNP for loads of super information about this great asset of our nation!

You guessed it, I'm a geek at heart. So when I "stumbled" across this site, naturally I had to look around and I loved what I found here!!!  Be sure to check out the "wi-fi detector t-shirt!"

Yep, I served in the US Army. So naturally I'm a bit of a patriot. Actually long before I was in the Army I was a patriot, but that's another story. Check out these cool army images available as at army.mil. Pictured left are US Army Rangers.  Hoooaaaaah!

Yes, I love cycling, mainly mountain biking, but I also love vintage prints. Close as I'll get to mtn biking here I suppose.  Anyway, check out this super cool vintage print on art.com.

The Grand Canyon is certainly one of my favorite National Parks.  I've been there once as a kid and vowed to return for a minimum of one week to explore all it's wonders.  On my "list of things to do" is to raft the gorge of the Colorado River on a multi-week trip.  Yep, sign me up for that.  I want to see this canyon's beauty from the river's perspective.

I stumbled across this photo one way or another.  Never have I seen boulders like these and I think in some strange way I'm jealous that they got to travel and paddle these rare gems!!!  Absolutely gorgeous nonetheless!!! Anyhow, this comes from a kayaker's blog.  Check out what these crazy folks did....in the mean time stumbling across some gorgeous scenery!
