In Northeastern Pennsylvania, near where I live there is a awesome Larch tree forest. Although not very old or very large there is a certain presence that the Larch tree forest embodies. Personally, I find it very difficult to describe the feeling when I’m there. The muffled wind that blows through the coniferous woodland as it coaxes a moaning call from the rubbing of two trees that have grown too close together. The peculiarly fragrant smell of pine mixed with the damp musky odor of needle leaves and cones as they decay on the forest floor. The visual maze that the light plays on the trees which holds your gaze and keeps your attention. There is truly a presents that fills your senses and I’m often reminded of the great wonders that God has created for us to enjoy.
My whole life I have enjoyed adventuring in the outdoors. From a simple walk in the woods to hiking, camping, bushcrafting, and learning survival skills, to hunting, fishing, snowshoeing, snowboarding, Ice Climbing, Mountain Biking, and canoeing to name a few. I really enjoy learning new things and sharing what I have learned.
Happily married for 30+ years. My wife and I have two beautiful daughters. The oldest is married to a wonderful man and they live in Massachusetts. The youngest is still in college here in Pennsylvania. Our latest hobby is Indoor Rock Climbing with the hopes of progressing to the outdoors, eventually. I enjoy Tree Climbing and we are exploring the possibilities of Tree Camping. We have a Silky Terrier named Scruffy and he is a great dog and loving companion! We rescued Scruffy from a kennel in Upstate New York in 2013 he will be 7 years old in December 2017.
