Got a few nice days and that's right...we're gettin our hike on. :D Today was a trail in LBL and damn what a beautiful day.

Here's how the help carries her BK 15. It just might be perfect for hiking and backpacking. Great food prep/game cleaning blade.

The second hike using the Ion 20's and we are sold bigtime. Great packs if you guys are looking for a daypack.

I nabbed a pocket full of tinder since there aren't many cedar trees in here and you just never know.

We hiked just under seven miles and saw some interesting stuff. Here's some scenery.

You ever try to shoot pool with a rope? I'm wore out man. Hey! Got any day hikes down your way? We'll go for four states in four days.

If you want to hit Priest on Saturday, there's a leisurely 8-miler that goes lakeside. Let me know.
 
I'm thinking just by abbreviations alone, you gotta hit Indiana next. MO, KY, IN....see makes sense.

I live in Eastern KY. You should come by and hike the Natural Bridge/Red River Gorge area with us man. Very beautiful and little to no tourist this time of year. Its an open invitation bro.

I appreciate that man. We've hiked all over the place there. Kentucky is a beautiful place (especially your neck of the woods). Would love to come back.
 
Thanks for taking us along. I look forward to seeing the Shawnee, too.
Hopefully I will be spending quite a bit of time there in a few months..
 
thanks for sharing bud. Really nice pics and some great lookin couple hikes you've shared. I like the picture with those original foundation stones, gosh, i probably would never have put 2 and 2 together had i come across that myself, good eye.
