Hiking and Geocaching Log
In recent years I have come to appreciate hiking. I have had no training and haven't even read anything about it. Just putting one foot in front of the other seems to work. There are many beautiful places to hike and below is a log of some of them I have been fortunate to experience. The details for the earlier entries are sketchy. Most of the more recent hikes are centered around geocaching and can be found in the weblog hiking category.
