Writings

Over the years, I’ve written about my hiking trips, and more recently, about my hobbies, from language to audio fiction to design.

• 

  I was finally able to find the Huskey Gap Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains and trek upwards while listening to a science fiction book from the late nineteenth century.

• 

  Cold? Oh, yes. Steep? Yes, certainly. But is a hike up Blood Mountain in North Georgia with good people worth it in the end? Absolutely.

• 

  The Dark Hollow Trail and the Ghost House Trail seem like two of the best hikes to take on a Halloween at Big Ridge State Park.

• 

  Little tip for the hiker in the Great Smoky Mountains: if you hike anywhere near Cades Cove in the fall, be sure to consider those coming to the park to admire the fall foliage.

• 

  I took a quick drive during a vacation after moving to Knoxville, enjoying the rain in the Great Smoky Mountains.

• 

  Transitioning to a new job in a new city in a new state can be a stressful time, so I headed up to the Andrews Bald Trail in the Smokies to make some new connections.

• 

  My last hike as a citizen of South Carolina was just a small walk through Town Creek Park in Pickens. Maybe not the best marked hike, but it allowed me one last walk in the woods of the Golden Corner.

• 

  A hike up to Hen Wallows Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains gives me a taste of what hikes would be available to me in my new Tennessee environs.

• 

  Rainbow Falls in Jones Gap State Park is easily one of my most favorite waterfall hikes and I enjoyed sharing it with colleagues from the Clemson Libraries.

• 

  I found out people working for the Clemson Libraries love to hike, so I decided that we should all go to Miuka Falls together by taking the Winding Stairs Trail.
