I normally look a bit more presentable than this. But, we got caught in flashflooding coming off the Ouachita Trail and this was the result. It's one of the few images you'll see of me without a camera in my own face!

A Few Words: I love spending time in the outdoors, especially in wilderness places. Some folks tell me that may be because a distant relative of mine, Pierre Dorion, aided the Lewis and Clark Expedition. My youngest son (Curtis) and I have set the goal to visit all the U.S. national parks (43 of 59 done). We love to backpack and paddle. He's also a rock climber, though I limit myself to letting gravity do the work (rappel and belay for him). We're both extremely active in Scouting, and many of our outdoor adventures have been with fellow Scouts and Scouters. Each year Curtis and I take a 2-4 week trip by ourselves. This is true quality time during which we can pursue our outdoor adventures. In addition to all of that, I'm also an avid amateur astronomer, and amateur photographer. I hope you enjoy a few of the images I'm sharing on SummitPost, and encourage you to visit my Facebook page if you'd like to see more (especially if you're a Scouter, since both of us have had images published in Scouting magazine).
