And because blogger decided that I had posted enough of my pictures on the above post, and I still wanted to share a couple more, here's a few more shots of some of my favorite times this year...


Along the Applalachian Trail in Virginia.






My mom and I at New River Gorge, West Virginia. You can see a portion of the huge, steel arch bridge that spans the gorge behind us.





Exhausted me along the Half Dome Trail in Yosemite National Park, California. There's the summit just ahead. (Or so it would seem! Ugh!) It was at this point that I wanted to either shoot myself or at least someone else.








Cooling off in the oasis of Lower Calf Creek Falls with Slot Canyon Boy.
Grand Staircase-Escalante, Utah.
