Here's a few, Mike. Please don't award the knife to me if you don't mind. I like to show pics, but have plenty of knives already (yep, I DID just say that!

)

This is one of my favorite pictures of one of my favorite places. It is the resident elk herd on the Buffalo National River near Ponca, Arkansas. I didn't take the picture though. It was taken by my photographer friend, Tim Ernst who found his calling as a wildlife and wildland photographer, and used it as a means to build a cozy log home for his bride, daughter and himself in the mountains not far from the river. I could only wish for his skills with a camera!

This is where I was going to go for my winter canoe trip last year. Best laid plans and all that. It is still a possibility this year. At least a week with just me and the river and the wildlife.

Congrats on 4K, mike! That's great.

My favorite spot is definitely this little cliff overhang. It's where I asked my wife to marry me, a very good day. Also a nice quiet spot if you just want to sip some tea or think or nap.

Congrats Mike! Very cool thing you're doing! I won't be participating because I really don't need it so good luck to everyone else.

Thanks for the chance to win!! Congrats on 4k

Here's one from one of my new favorite camping spots.

Here's one of my favs of my Graham - I picked it up in person and hit the trail the next day in the Smokies with my 5 month pregnant wife

Here's an oldie but a goodie - It's probably my favorite picture and was an absolutely beautiful place. I live on the other side of the country from the Grand Canyon, but I dream of going back just about every day.

defaultuser · Nov 18, 2008

My favorite spot outdoors? It's hard to pick just one. Hopefully, you won't mind if I show a few.

Of course, I love Yosemite:

Tenaya Lake

Gates of the Valley in Spring

Gates of the Valley in Autumn

Upper Yosemite Falls

I'm also quite fond of Mono Lake:

First Light, Mono Lake ("The Battleship", in the South Tufa area)

Mono Lake Dawn

I'm also quite fond of the White Mountains:

And we can't forget the Alabama Hills:

Mount Whitney through Arch

Clearing Storm over the Sierras

Well, we can only add 10 pics per post, so... I'll have to limit it to those 4 places I love. I guess they could all kind of be categorized loosely as "The Eastern Sierras", so I'll say that I choose The Eastern Sierras as my favorite spot.

Thank you for the contest, Mike.
