You can read the full report of my Enchanted Rock hike. By the end of the day I was worn out and had
Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, Texas
Last Friday I drove down to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area.Enchanted Rock is a enormous pink granite (affectionately known as Texas Pink Granite) batholith located 15 miles north of Fredericksburg, Texas. The rock received its name from the Tonkawa Indians who believed they could see ghost fires near the summit after nightfall.

My Anti-Stink Shirt Came Today
I received my Active Agion Anti-Stink shirt today. Read my previous post to find out more about what Active Agion Anti-Stink is all about.

I won!
Yesterday I won a contest I entered on Running Buddies. I had heard about the contest through Just Northwest. The idea of the contest was for everyone to submit their best excuse for why they never get out to exercise. My excuse was that I never see anyone smiling while exercising. I said "the first time I see a jogger smiling I’ll try it." Of course this is just an excuse. If you think about it…it would be weird

Blue Alpine has tuned me into The Season, a short “web television project following five athletes through the course of a single season in the Pacific Northwest.” The Season documents the innovations and struggles of the different athletes in full, free, high definition.The Season’s website says this:“A veteran climber invents a new piece of gear.

Lost Mine Trail – Big Bend National Park, Texas
The Lost Mine trail is one of the shorter hikes available in Big Bend National Park. It receives its name from legend that claims a secret mine once existed in the area. Legend says workers were blindfolded before being brought to the mine to work in order that they could not disclose its location.
