Another day full of activities as we were heading from Grand Teton National Park to Yellowstone.

There weren't many interesting natural sites in winter in the mid-Atlantic region. So for some fresh air, I headed for Annapolis, Maryland on the Saturday of Dec 7 for a more culture-related trip.

First weekend of November, before all the leaves were gone in the mountains, my friend and I ventured into Shenandoah National Park for a camping trip and a last peak of autumn. And this post would be about all the things that didn't went wrong that weekend (a lot of them did...).

When I looked at the poster of Astra Lost in Space, I saw a group of younglings among stars and planets. When I watched its first trailer, the scenes were like the 2013 movie Gravity being tamed by cartoon brushstrokes. And its second trailer was like the first part of The Martian (2015), only that the entire team was stuck behind this time. I thought, this must be some exciting tales of a Sci-Fi journey through space, like these movies.

And I was wrong, the first of many curveballs the series threw at me.

It's a weekend towards the end of October, when foliage forecast was at its peak for mountains in the mid-atlantic region, something that I wouldn't attempt to miss. This time, I ventured into Northern George Washington National Forest and hiked Buzzard Rock Trail, in the best of autumn colors.

Another autumn day as my friends and I ventured into nature again. This time we were visiting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, hiking Whiteoak Canyon / Cedar Run Loop and Bearfence Mountain.

It's a beautiful October weekend as I explored Delaware Water Gap, a destination that's on almost every top-X hiking list of Northeastern US. And it's the best time of the year when rolling hills put on their most vivid autumn colors, a most spectacular feast before brutal lifeless winter took over.

After a rather fulfilling day in Salt Lake City, it's Monday July 15 2019 as we set off from Salt Lake City to Jackson, Wyoming, a small town on the outskirts of Grand Teton National Park.

A typical autumn weekend when I decided to explore some nature. This time I picked two famous routes along Appalachian Trail in Northern Virginia, Buzzard Hill and Raven Rocks.

It's the first Saturday of September as my friend and I ventured into Prince William Forest Park, the largest pack of greenness near Washington DC measuring 17000 acres yet not known to many residents of the area.
