Welcome to Breakfast in America

My photo journal is an eclectic mix of things; there’s no guiding theme or topic. It is whatever happens to catch my attention, what I’ve been thinking, doing, and whatever my current obsessions are. At the moment, they are clearing some of the backlog on my ‘honey-do’ list, backpacking and hammock camping.

    And that’s all folks. The following day we drove back to Missouri via Tennessee, Kentucky, and very briefly Illinois.

    Trip over. Fourteen states, in eighteen days, and three thousand miles. After that we need a break! And I need to dust of my backpack and get out into the woods.

    Day Seventeen

    When I’m out backpacking, I can rely on the Gaia GPS App to provide me with accurate information on where I take my pictures. When driving Google Maps (which, incidentally, only works on a cell phone now), you can only find out where you have been if Google thinks it is ‘Interesting’ enough — or, more likely, there could be some profit.

    I spent quite a while trying to determine where I took this and the following two pictures. But no luck. It was somewhere on the Cherohala Skyway.
