My friend took this photo of me as we approached the actual cliff that shoot straight into the ocean.

My friend and local "tour guide" stopping to check out his photos of this beautiful landscape. Can you believe that is the ocean down there!

We were met with a snowy path the entire way. So extraordinary!

We finally found our way to them trail heading up to Pulpit Rock!

Almost to the trail head. This is looking back toward the Ferry as we drive further in the mountains.

In order to get into the mountains we needed to cross a ferry in the Ocean first.

Walkway into the Lake. This was a short stop along the way to hike up to Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock).

A little rest at dusk after an active day on island of Koh Chang

Hiked the Wapack Trail for Easter weekend, starting in northern Massachusetts on Mount Watatic, and ending in New Hampshire on Pack Monadnock. Here's a picture from a third of the way in, overlooking Binney Pond. Lots of nice views of Monadnock and the rest of Southern New Hampshire on this trail. For springtime when the trails further north are covered in rotten snow, trails like this are great for getting some early backpacking in and training for later season. For once, I remembered to bring lots of sunscreen, since the lack of foliage usually leads to horrible sunburns for me.

The trail was a little muddy in places, but otherwise in very good condition. It also showed me just how out of shape I am right now compared to what I was hoping I would be. Ugh. I'm hoping the 85° heat on Sunday was the real reason for my feeling wrecked at the end of the 20 miles, but I'm not so sure.

April 14, 2017. Early evening I hiked a trail in the woods close to home - finishing near Riverport, Nova Scotia where the LaHave River flows into the Atlantic. Stunning sunset.
