A Little Closer To Heaven

It took a little longer than I had planned to get back online…but here I am! I’ve been in Virginia now for a week and it looks like I’m gonna enjoy it a lot.

 The move went smooth and it was a beautiful drive. We were in the Appalachians for several hours. The church here in Richmond has treated us wonderfully and I’m gonna gain like 50 pounds if they keep buying meals and groceries for us!

Last weekend, I got the chance to see some premier class IV and V rapids in action along the James River and visited several beautiful parks in the area. More on that later.

Just checking in today to let everyone know I’m still alive. I’ll post a real blog tomorrow.

Well everyone, the time has come for me to move out of the Ozarks.

That being said, I probably won’t be posting for a week or so as  I move to Virginia and get internet access in the new pad.

Check back next Monday for new posts.

Arkansas, thanks for all the memories!

I’m officially unemployed for about 5 days before I move to the big VA! Whoo-Hoo! Time to live life to the fullest!

Okay, I guess I don’t have time for that. But I am going car camping this weekend as probably my last outdoors adventure in Arkansas for a very long time . We’re packing up this afternoon and heading out for a day or two of camping on the river.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Get that thing outta my sight!

I’ve been a die-hard Snicker’s Marathon bar eater for a long time. Lately though, I’m sick and tired of the taste almost to the point of gagging! No joke. The aftertaste is getting worse and worse. I need something new that I can eat on the go while I hike without making myself sick.

The bottom line: They taste great the first 100 times you eat them. But they leave a pretty typical nasty energy bar aftertaste. Buy em’, try em’, but don’t do either all the time.

So here’s where you come in! I need a new favorite energy bar! What are your favorites? Let me know in the comments.

I gotta be honest with all of you. I’m really hurting for some quality posts this week. Packing for Virginia, obeying my dog’s every command, entertaining a visiting mother in law, and barely finding time to spend with my wife, all the while working my butt off on my last week of my current job has left me very little time for the outdoors.

I did, however, manage some time to go on a walk in our beautiful city park and my wife was even patient enough to let me snap a few pictures along the way. Enjoy:
