    Some think we should leave our cameras at home

    Where to Start Hiking

    Just like Driftwoody, Kansas City is a hiking desert, you have to drive 3 hours to find anything better than a cow pasture. But their are a couple Mo. conservation areas and county parks that have some basic trails for beginners.

    Bear Country

    I have only seen one bear on the trail in 50 years and he saw me first and was already running from me. A good number of Nat. and state Parks required bear cannisters, so I comply. Otherwise, I keep a clean camp, If I cook, I cook many yards away from my tent, don't store food in camp...

    Thru-Hiking or Day Hiking

    Tuff one, vote day hiking because their is so much to experience, day hiking gives a taste of so much. But still love to experience the long hike-also part of the grandeur

    Hiking Trail Recommendations in California & San Diego

    Was out 7 days, did 38 trails ranging from .2 miles to 8, in 6 states - main destination was Georgia. I always hike in route to my main destination to break up the drive but more importantly to hit some remote special scenic areas i otherwise would never see.

    What's the longest hike you've done?

    Two back to back trips to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, one was 5 days and one was 6 days. To camp in the Grand Canyon you have to apply for access through a lottery. I applied and a buddy both applied for back to back weeks and we both won!!! So we went in for a week, hiked out and hiked...
