East Coasting

Snippets from our Fall 2012 trip to Wash DC and Maryland with Chris and Francis! We spent a day in DC, then drove out to the Conrad river house for some wine tasting, country walks, and good company. It's been about a year now...I think we're due for another trip...

Three Sisters Hike


Brief recap of hiking in Three Sisters Wilderness last Fall. We were waylaid a bit by some fires in the area, but got in a decent hike with plenty of views anyway.
