Welcome to my little slice of the Internet pie!

This is my third attempt at a webpage and I hope it is as enjoyable for you to look at, as it was for me to make.

I have taken up hiking as a way to get in shape and to force myself to get up from behind the computer desk (doctor keeps harping at me too.)

Trying to find a user friendly and informative map for my hiking adventures has been a major undertaking. So I wanted to add some maps to my page in the hopes it may help fellow hikers and photographers alike. I have also decided to share the pictures I have been taking since getting my digital camera this past year. Seems like I am always taking a picture of something! Look around, if you got any suggestions or want to comment on my page, email me! I would love to hear from you. :-)

June 22, 2003: Still trying to download all the pictures that I want to put on this site. I have finished with the pictures for Griffin, Chickamauga, St. Louis Zoo, and Hannibal. I also think I finally have the format of the pages that I am happy with. As soon as the pictures are all downloaded I will then make the maps available. If you see a mistake or would like to comment on any of my pages, please email me, I would love to hear from you. Please be patient...I do work for a living...well, sorta. lol
