New Blog Location

I have decided, at least for the time being, that I am going to move my blog from Blogger to my website. The main reason is that the picture quality is better, but it is also nice to have everything all in one place.

Memorial Day 2011 @ The Billy Goat Trail

On Memorial Day, a bunch of us drove out to hike the Billy Goat Trail. When we got to the entrance to Trail A, the most difficult trail of the 3, there was a park ranger there blocking the path. The river was too high and parts of the path may have been flooded. We could go, but they would fine us $175 each. He said they might open it up later, so we kept walking along the reservoir until we got to Great Falls.  The river was pretty high and the water was crazy. We eventually decided to do one of the easier, open trails. It was really hot out and a good workout, especially for me as I kept having to catch up to the group after taking some photos because they definitley were not waitnig for me.
