Snow crunchies are the best crunchies.

Springtime sunset through the trees at Scoville Reservoir. Wolcott, Connecticut. May 18, 2021, 7:53 PM.

#sunset #hiking
We are standing next to a large lake. There are many lily pads near our shore. The far shore and a nearby peninsula on our right are wooded, the trees on the peninsula are very tall. The leaves on the trees are still rather small, allowing a lot of light to pass through the trees. The bright orange setting sun can be seen through the trees of that peninsula as well. The sky and scattered clouds along that horizon are also tinted orange. Most of the sky is a very pale blue with very nebulous clouds that are thin enough to be partially transparent.

Spent another great weekend in the woods! Made it out to a group camp on the Victory section of the #OzarkTrail and had a great time. The new pack held up great stuffed with all my #winter weather gear. Stayed plenty warm with lows around 20F. Happy hiking!

Good morning Bluesky!

One of my favorite places on earth. We are planning a trip to hike it again in a few months. I can’t wait to be stunned by its immense beauty! This photo was taken back in 2019 when I lasted visited.

Here it it! My latest pack build ended up out of this world! I used the 40L pattern by Prickly Gorse on Etsy and got my materials from @ripstopbytheroll.bsky.social. I feel like l'm finally getting the hang of the sewing machine and how bag assembly works.

Just got my latest order in from @ripstopbytheroll.bsky.social! Trying the OutdoorINK print and got this awesome constellation pattern on some X-Pac V21 RS. The rest of the shopping list to follow. Time to get making!

That feeling you get when you just ordered fabrics and components from @ripstopbytheroll.bsky.social for a new #MYOG pack project.

Also, this is Taum Sauk Mountain, Missouri's highest point. Highly recommend!

A wild X-Mid in its natural environment on the Ozark Trail. Remember to observe their beauty from afar and not to disturb their home. #LeaveNoTrace

View across green and gold trees and scrub to a lake. On the far side of the lake are mist-shrouded hills, and what looks at first like a river flowing down into the lake. However, the river is frozen in place: a glacier with a flowing texture.

Polar plunge in the frozen Mina Sauk Falls. Keeping the hike short allowed for lots of time playing around getting pictures and video.

Stayed up past hiker midnight for some night sky pics. It was hard to find a decent clearing but some turned out decent. Loving the purple coming through once I extended the exposure.

More from the icy Taum Sauk section of the Ozark Trail. Some of the trail was actually icy enough for me to finally test out my micro spikes! So much fun!

Spent the weekend playing on ice and sleeping in the woods. Vintage ice climber vibes at Mina Sauk Falls. Missouri's tallest waterfall.

Back to another #FungiFriday. I met these fungis while out on the Ozark Trail in the Mark Twain National Forest.

Hammock set up along the Taum Sauk section of the Ozark Trail. Near Missouri's highest point. Heading back this weekend for much colder weather.
