New Mississippi River photos

Man, you never know what you’ll find when cleaning out old files. I ran across these photos and scanned them yesterday. Took them on a disposable camera in the first few days. Man, we had NO idea what we were getting into!

This is Canoeing

I can not wait till this DVD comes out in a couple of weeks. The folks at CackleTV have put together what looks to be an absolutely fantastic video of white water and flatwater canoeing, trekking, all manner of other cool stuff. Really, do yourself a favor and check out the video clip below.

Enjoy [...]

Breakfast on the Neuse River

What do I eat for breakfast when paddling 200 miles down the Neuse River? Check out the Breakfast of Champions.

Nevermind that my head is cut off for most of the video. You’re probably better off not seeing my ugly mug too much!

Upcoming Appalachian Trail Slideshows

Southbound on the Appalachian Trail

Come on out to one of the following Great Outdoor Provision Company locations and catch my slideshow and prep talk on Thru-Hiking the Appalachian Trail. I spent 6 1/2 months hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2000 and it was a life-changing experience to be sure (My journals are here.) I’ll [...]

Last Campsite before Morgan City

Note: I actually got off my butt and dusted off my Mississippi River book manuscript today for some long-ignored editing. Enjoy

Mile 2,140

Atchafalaya River Fisherman

Today was rough. In order to make some big miles before dark, we stumbled out of the tent and were on the river by 4:30 a.m. From what [...]

Online Appalachian Trail Elevation Profiles

I can’t get over how much stuff is available online for Appalachian Trail maps and profiles these days. I’m not to the point where I’d fully trust a GPS or phone for all my maps and data while hiking, but this is a great resource for planning purposes. If nothing else, I’d download the PDF [...]

Kayaking on Jordan Lake

Here’s some video clips from kayaking on Jordan Lake, NC last weekend. I put in at the Farrington Boat Access point, then headed Northeast for a couple of hours. Check out the bald eagle about 1:30 minutes into the video.

Plenty of rain, but it was 55 degrees in January and I wasn’t going to stay [...]

Paddling the Neuse River Video

Here’s a rough cut of the Down the Neuse River short film. I shot all footage while paddling 200 miles down the Neuse River in 2009. This film will be screened at a Kinston and Oriental locations of the upcoming Neuse Riverkeeper Film Festival. We’ll be having a full screening at the Sweetwater Brewing Company [...]

Roanoke River Paddling

Here’s a quick cut of some video I took last weekend in and around the Roanoke River near Jamesville, NC. Jess and a couple of friends planned this surprise trip for my 40th birthday, and what better way to spend New Year’s than on the water?!  I’ll post a podcast and photo collection in the [...]

Happy Holidays from Source to Sea

Just wanted to extend our holiday greetings from here at Source to Sea Central. Jess and I hope everyone is safe and enjoying the festivities, and we look forward to ringing in the New Year (and my 40th birthday :O ) next week.

2009 seemed like it would never end, but 2010 looks to [...]

Neuse River Expedition Photos

Here’s a sample of some of the 700 photos I took while paddling down the Neuse River. With everything being digital these days, it’s waaaaaaaay too easy to get photo-happy, but it beats running out of film. I remember allocating myself one roll a week when I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2000.

Neuse River Gear Video

Here’s a quick video I took after spending 10 days on the Neuse River. Be on the lookout for full video gear reviews for the Hurricane Kayaks Santee Expedition, Astral Buoyancy V8 PFD, Playtus Clean Stream water filtration system, Sea to Summit drybags and Kitchen Sink, and a few other pieces of my favorite gear.
