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

• 

  I adore autumn, and this short hike on the Appalachian Trail was an excellent way to enjoy the approach of this outstanding season.

• 

  Anna Ruby Falls is a short but very pretty walk in Unicoi State Park in north Georgia.

• 

  Finding Long Creek Falls required me to take a chance on what I thought might be the road to the trailhead, but wasn’t obvious. Luckily, I found the way and had the opportunity to experience this outstanding waterfall.

• 

  So, this past weekend, I went back to Oconee State Park, in South Carolina. The Old Waterwheel Trail leads to the remains of a waterwheel used to pump water.

• 

  Brissy Ridge is part of the network of trails scattered throughout Paris Mountain State Park and I visited the area during the summer.

• 

  Paris Mountain State Park is what seems like a hidden gem in the Greenville, South Carolina, area, with a complex series of hiking trails.

• 

  It was a hot July summer on the Oconee Trail in Oconee State Park in South Carolina.

• This plant is called lycopodium digitatum, and is still one of the coolest things I’ve seen on a hike in a while.

• 

  The Byron Herbert Reece Trail is a short entry trail to the Appalachian Trail and to Blood Mountain, a favorite of mine.

• 

  The Lower Whitewater Falls Trail starts near the North Carolina/South Carolina border and offers a great view of a tall waterfall.
