Courtney, Evandra and I are about to set out on a journey through a few select locations in Europe that is reminiscent of trips my mom took my brother and myself on 25 years ago. We start in Paris – a classic in European destinations. We are going to hit as many landmarks as we …
Today’s hike was only about an hour. Fortunately, the sun was out but it was quite windy at the crest of the dam. We tried a trail that wrapped around the South bank of the Mad River Reservoir which offered a break from the wind, but introduced swamp-like areas along the trail which were often …
