    Hydration Pack vs. Hydration Vest

    I use a hydration bladder when I'm running. I rinse it out, fill it with water and keep it in the refrigerator when I'm not using it. I like to drink soda when I'm hiking.

    What got you into trail running?

    I started running regularly during Covid, I was bored and a lot of hiking trails were closed. I really enjoyed it and have found that exercising every day helps me focus.

    Wearing orange all the time

    They say this is a good idea. If you're wearing dark colors and need to be rescued from a boulder field, it's almost impossible to see you.

    The Shawnee Hills trail races will be 8/23 this year, they're a great way to experience the SNF. You get to hike around while people feed you snacks and cheer for you. Is anyone signing up this year? Of all the trail races I've run, this is my favorite. I'll be there.

    Do you look for old things in the woods?

    Here's the man made entrance to Carnes Mill in HNF, it's the remnants of a Mill built on a cut-off in a meander of the Blue River. Half of if is a natural cave and half is man-made.
