Where Am I?

Morning hike up Mountain Station

I like to geek out while having real experiences. I maintain an extensive GPS database from my hikes, bikes, runs, and skis dating back to 2008. Feel free to follow the georss feed, explore the map above or download the GPS tracks below.

I needed to get out for a bit, but don't like running in the morning, so a neighborhood hike seemed like a good idea. I didn't have any strong ambitions, but once I got going uphill, it felt like I should be able to make it to the bench at the beginning of The Vein. After passing through a couple of the new clear cuts, I went into Upper Space Junk and the trail deteriorated fast. Eventually it petered out and I chose to turn around rather than punch through snow over slash piles in my trail runners. It was a nice day in the woods, but it continued to frustrate me how much logging they did and how much it has transformed Mountain Station to be very little contiguous forest.
