When I was in elementary school I had a dog named Snowball. After a few short months the dog died suddenly. Eventhough I was a boy, and I wasn't suppose to cry, I did. Well we found this dog and it looks like snowball. So meet our new family member, Snowball.

Awhile back there was a post on my friends coming up fourth of July weekend. Well William made a video of the most exciting part (butterflies feasting on poop.) The film is better then it sounds. See it and then vote for it here.

Before heading south to Florida I had the opportunity to take out backpacking the Get Out More Team of Backpacker Magazine. The team, Matt and Carry, had a great job traveling around this summer visiting amazing places convincing people to Get Out More and enjoy the outdoors. The last stretch of their tour brought them to Fontana. Shortly after they came to the village we went out for a few days to many amazing places out in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We visited Bone Valley, the old Town of Medlin, a copper mine that we had to blaze our own trail to, and an old fire tower's cabin on High Rock Trail (5,188'.) You can check out there journal entry of the trip here.
I think it includes a sweet picture of me.
