Where 2 Oceans Meet
Cape of Storms, Cape of Good Hope, the Cape. All names given to the Cape Peninsula in South Africa. Cape of Storms because it can sometimes be a dangerous place to sail around, causing many shipwrecks. Cape of Good Hope because the sailors who made it into Table Bay were glad to be alive! These days it is just called the Cape by people who live there.

Climbing the Great Divide
In August 2015, my parents and I flew over to visit my brother in Colorado. At the time he was living in place that was around 8500 feet in elevation, and since we come from a mere 800 feet above sea level, it took a little while to adjust to the thinner air. Our first night there I felt my heart beating super fast, and I was just trying to sleep!

3 Short Hikes in Chester, Vermont
I have lived in the small town of Chester, Vermont on and off for 20 years now. I have enjoyed walking on the trails within the town limits for a good share of those years. At first there was only one trail my family and I went on, the trail behind the local high school. But about 10 years ago or so the town made a new trail called the Lost Mine Trail, so we started hiking there as well. Then, about 3 years ago, another new trail was made, called Butternut Hill Trail, which we also checked out and now enjoy.
