Howdy ladies and gents!

I wanted to share a quick 'how to', about how to have the perfect dayhike...

I finally talked my girlfriend into coming along for a quick hike with me. I didn't get to go to my favorite spot, instead we made a new favorite spot! We went to a little nature sanctuary closer to town. It's got a few miles of hiking trials and some neat wildlife. It's also got some dynamite views of the Kentucky River:

I had a perfect little secluded cliff edge with the river behind me. Weather was a sunny 68 degrees, perfect.

Why was a pestering her to go hiking so much? Because I had an expensive piece of carbon in my pocket (not my SAK) that I wanted to get rid of...

Kentucky River!

Do you live near Wendell Berry?

Wendell Berry, farmer and poet, has lived in sight of the Kentucky River for 40 years, in a landscape where generations of his family have farmed since the early 1800s. The river is probably the only mainstream close to his heart. As a farmer, he has shunned the use of tractors and plowed his land with a team of horses. As a poet, he has stood apart from the categories and controversies of the literary world, writing in language neither modern nor postmodern, making poems that have the straightforward elegance of the Amish furniture in his farmhouse. And in recent decades, he has produced a body of political thought, in a series of essays and speeches, that is so Jeffersonian it seems almost un-American in today's world

At 71, Berry and his wife, Tanya, live on their 125-acre farm, producing almost all the food they eat: table vegetables from the garden, meat from their flock of sheep. They sell some sheep and take firewood from the woodland, and their livestock graze on green pastures. During Berry's years as a writer—he has produced some 40 volumes of poetry, fiction and essays—and a teacher in the English department at the University of Kentucky, the couple has practiced and achieved the respectable degree of self-sufficiency that Berry preaches. They have improved the land, raised a family and seen both of their children take up farming nearby. Their son, Den, and his wife, Billie, raise cattle, corn and hay on a farm five miles away; Den makes furniture to augment the family income. Their daughter, Mary, and her husband, Chuck Smith, ten miles away, have preserved an old farm by turning it into the Smith-Berry winery, while also raising cattle and crops.
