Smashing Rocks at Zoar

·

Very last minute we went to zoar. I swam a bit and then we smashed the hell out of shale rocks by hurling granite ones at them. It was quite satisfying.

So far today I ate three fried eggs, bacon, and a cheeseburger which is a very unusual diet for me. I need to switch up at dinner, not that I am getting fat. I am actually quite trim at 150 right now. I'm the perfect base that if I hit the gym starting soon I will look amazing during the seasons when you wear the most clothes and no one ever sees it, lol.

Fillmore - New York State Park

·

We camped at Fillmore for the second night of the trip on the way out to the adirondacks. It was really green and lush in the forest there. There were so many amazing bridges and stone walkways. It even had a dammed in swimming area.

While hiking I found the same berries I also ate while hiking in Portland. What are they? They are similar to raspberries but flat and have different leaves.

Akron Falls Park

·

Total waste of time. You can't go near the water, no swimming, the water stinks anyways. The guys who went near the water in my photo got yelled at from above by loud speakers saying they were tresspassing.

Its pretty to look at but that's it. Just imagine if thr stank ass hoyt lake water went over a a waterfall.

The town there seems so country. We stopped in the Shur Fine and it felt like stepping into South Carolina.

Hiking at Zoar

·

We went a different way and started at the other parking lot and headed toward the confluence. The police were out in full force checking for people drinking. The police Guy had on the coolest shoes. Thy had mesh bottoms to let the water out.

We caught he cutest baby snake. It was so friendly.

Hiking at Little Rock city

·

We headed down to little rock city to enjoy the sun and some climbing. I really need to get back to the gym. Its amazing how much less secure I felt since I lost all the muscle I had gained at the gym. Unfortunately, this was the worst winter ever for exercise. There wasn't really enough snow for winter fun and the gym closed down. That plus I worked too much.

The picture of @terry is so funny. He is so damn white right now. Its like the polar opposite (pun intended) of when you when take a picture of @flacidness in a dimly lit environment.

Penasquitos Canyon Preserve

·

Between LA and San Diego we stopped at Penasquitos Canyon Preserve. @terry saw a bobcat here. It was really pretty, despite being right down the path of a massive electricity transmission field that buzzed so much that it was loud.
