Green Bridges: Hiking in the Future
In the future, due to shortages of land and restrictions in transport, food could be grown in skyscrapers. Often referred to as vertical farms, these buildings could become a prominent feature of the urban environment. For many city dwelling people, these vertical farms will offer the opportunity to go hiking....
10,000 Birds
The power of a group of like-minded individuals working together towards a common goal never ceases to astound me. No, I’m not talking about the blatant (and unsuccessful) efforts of FIFA referees to keep the U.S. team from advancing in the World Cup! I’m speaking instead about the greatest group nature blog...
Humans will be extinct within 100 years
An Australian scientist, who helped eradicate smallpox, has predicted that the human race will be extinct within the next 100 years.

Back in the early days of this blog, we did a less-than-brisk business in 10,000 Birds “I BRAKE FOR BIRDS” bumper stickers. I sold a couple of hundred of them over the years, but chose not to replenish after the last run sold out. Fool that I am, my decision...
Black Skimmer Nests Destroyed by Helicopter

Interesting backpacking threads at Trailspace
Generally I think it’s impolite to bore folks with stuff related by my day job, but a few threads of note showed up at the Trailspace Forum that seemed to merit an exception: Goat packing: Turns out goats are a viable alternative to llamas, horses and burros. Not as strong individually,...
Blogs of Two-Heel Drive commenters
No hikes this weekend, but the itch to blog must be scratched (hard to believe there’s any epidermis left after all these years, but I digress). Lately I’ve been seeing a burst of comments my hike posts, many from North Carolina hikers. For instance: Silver Fox and Bullfrog: Notable because...
Dan River to Hanging Rock via Indian Creek Trail
One-word summary of this outing: Wet. Sweat on the way up, rain on the way down. I finished soaked from the top of my Trailspace cap to the soles of my shiny new New Balance trail runners. Yes, I took rain gear; no, it did not keep me dry. Hanging...
Grandfather Mountain: Swinging Bridge and MacRea Peak
This is a great combo if you’re into contrasts: start out with a sane, scenic hike to the Mile High Swinging Bridge, then move on to the utterly crazy ridge route to MacRea Peak. There’s a certain sanity to the .6-mile hike up to the bridge from the Black Rock parking...
The arrival of the holiday weekend filled me with an unexpected urge to take a holiday from hiking. By next weekend, though, I’m reasonably confident I’ll be back to normal. If you had any adventures, share with your friends in the comments. Links to other people’s outings are also welcome....

Chester Lake -- September 12, 2009
Strangely enough, I'd only ever hiked the Chester Lake trail when it was fully engulfed in winter -- deep snow, lake frozen over, icicles dripping from trees. So when Dave suggested a fall hike, I jumped at the chance to see such a beautiful place without the usual white touches.My...
Exshaw Trail -- September 27, 2009
Straying away from our usual haunts, Nat and I took a quick hike down Exshaw Trail, a relatively flat creek bed walk with lots of route finding. A pipeline was our guide for the first 1km or so. It's not always easy to remember that without the early development of...

Marble Canyon (near Radium, BC) -- July 20, 2009
We'd driven to Fairmont Hot Spring in BC for an anniversary getaway. While the focus of the trip was not hiking, but more of the hot-tub soaking, mini-golf playing variety, on our drive back I wanted to stop and see an old trail I've visited as a child -- probably...

Noynoy Aquino wins Philippine Presidency – by a Landslide
When I made my assumptions last October, that Benigno (Noynoy) Aquino III might be poised to become the 15th president of the Philippines, nobody expected that the results would come in so clearly and undisputed.
