BP Oil Gusher still out of control

Watch CBS News Videos Online
I’m not going to pull any punches here. The utter devastation in the Gulf of Mexico as a result of BP Oil’s gross negligence is appalling. I’m hoping against hope that BP will be held responsible, be forced to pay the FULL amount of damages and cleanup costs, and the people [...]

Our facebook buddy Charles Vaught is starting his paddle the Missouri River then down to New Orleans next week.

How many posts per week

Updating and adding content to the Source to Sea site has always been a hit-or-miss proposition with me. When we’re out on a trip, words flow out pretty easily, and now that I’ve gotten more into video and podcasting, there’s that much more stuff to play with. If I don’t get outside every once in [...]

Thru-hiking numbers down

Appalachian Trail

Well, it’s getting close to June and northbound thru-hikers still on the Appalachian Trail are probably somewhere in Virginia by now. I took a look at the Applachian Trail Conservancy’s 2000-miler data for the year, and they’re showing a slight dip in thru-hikers starting out this year. According to folks at Amicola State Park, 1,350 [...]

Five years ago on the Mississippi River

First strokes on the Mississippi River

I can’t believe five years have already passed since we first dipped our paddles into the Mississippi River on May 15, 2005. 73 days and 2,200 miles later, we finally reached the Gulf. Even after a year of planning, we really had no idea what exactly we were getting [...]

Help Audubon in the Gulf of Mexico

Sweetwater Bay, Louisiana

I’m sure I’m not the only person  glued to the internet watching the disaster unfold as a result of the BP Oil explosion. Fishing and shrimping has shut down, and prime habitat and wildlife areas are facing untold threats. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the workers killed in the accident [...]

Maildrops for the Appalachian Trail

Picking up a Maildrop on the Appalachian Trail

I wrote earlier on how to send a maildrop on the Appalachian Trail to any post office via General Delivery. Now that there are enough stores near the Appalachian Trail (and Pacific Crest Trail for that matter) to get buy food along the way, I typically just [...]

Backpacking in Chaco Sandals

Backpacking in Chaco Sandals

I present several slideshows on both our Mississippi River Expedition and Appalachian Trail thru-hike every year. I love these presentations and especially enjoy the question and answer sessions. Each time I give the Appalachian Trail talk, I always know I’ll spend some time talking about footwear. Some folks hike [...]
