I ran across an image the other day of tornado tracks over the past 50 years. Some very fascinating information if you live in the Southeast or Midwest. If you live in the Northwest, there is not much to worry about other than snow and [Continue Reading…]
The downfall of traveling light is that you have to decide between extra clothes and camera gear. I found myself in this situation in Idaho. I decided to take just the 18 – 105 and make the best that I could. I really wanted to get in a little …Continue Reading Here…
This walkway goes from the Hunter Museum down to the river front in Chattanooga. It is not a trek for the faint of heart as this is not the majority of the walkway.
