Out on the Trails
An old hobby revived
                 
We've finally decided to do what we'd been talking about for a few months, and started hiking again.

The plan is to head out on a hike at least once a week, after work.  Our schedules are pretty tight, though, so executing the plan has been difficult... we'll get better at it, though, and the pace will pick up, so to speak.

I know this section is a bit "light" right now... but I usually bring my camera, so hopefully before too long, it'll be respectable.

  
Wilderness Signs... as I see more of them, this collection will grow!  I hope, anyway!  :-)
