Duck Tracks On The Huron

Took this shot walking along the Huron River.

Also, below are many picture from our trip to Arkansas. You'll have to click 'Older Posts' a few times to view them all.  Sorry, don't get this blog format stuff yet.

The Ozarks are very pretty, like a middle class Appalachia. The eastern side of the state is Mississippi Delta. Very, very flat and wet.

Car Museum Pics.

Some pics taken from a couple museums. The old Mobile stuff is from across the street from Central High in Little Rock.  The prices are frozen at 1957, the year Ike sent troups.

River Valley

The Arkansas River is at the bottom of River Valley. This pic doesn't do the view justice. This was actually taken at a lodge with a window view equally this good, just yards away. Excellent cheap food, excellent vegie burgers and fries, breakfasts. We ate 3 meals here. Our cabin was about 2 miles away, a nice hike where most of these mountian pictures were taken.

Rin-Tin_Tin and the Trail of Tears

There was this wild dog that kept an eye on us up on these rocks while hiking. The river was used to transport Native Americans on the Trail of Tears.

Central High School, Little Rock, Arkansas

On our visit to Arkansas, we stayed one night in Little Rock.  This is the famous Central High School. No soldiers and an African-American student. Let freedom ring!

Adrians Door: Dope & Hope

Been months, has anybody noticed?

Time to add some joy to this blog. How about some more window pictures from Adrians Tee-Shirts.

Guess who stopped by to make biscuits? And she's a Buckeye! Luckily she didn't bring her kids, Transport, Tracer, something like that.

Peace. Jim

There is a great reason I'm not mentioned in Jean-Claude Killy's memoirs, I suck at skiing. Doing the splits would kill me right now after my bodies traumas of last year. How to have winter outdoor fun? Snow Shoeing!

I bought a pair of snowshoes yesterday while downtown at Bivouac. I'm played with the idea for years and was inspired by last weeks snowfall and Bivouac had them on sale. Support your local merchants! My wife Darlene has had a nice pair of shoes for decades from a famous Upper Peninsula company who's name escapes both of us.

The last time I tried snowshoeing I was about 8 years old. I taped together an old set of badminton rackets and went for a 10 foot hike. The rackets broke immediately! Today's hike was much longer. We walked to nearby Leslie Science Center and hiked the trails there. We had a blast! The trail winds up, down, and around snowcovered wooded hills. It was quiet and beautiful. Bring on more snow!

Pictured is one of my snowshoed feet. I wasn't after art, just documentation of a first trek. But expect more showshoe photography in the future.

Beauty of Peace to all. Jim

Gotta start 2010 with a few shots of Adrian's Tee-Shirt shop. Adrian's is down the street from us, just around the corner from the Salvation Army and Northside Deli, across the street from the Huron River, and on the way to downtown from my house.

Adrian's is a remnant of Ann Arbors colorful past and was the home of the $5.00(US) Obama tee-shirt of which I gifted many to friends. Its one of those places you look forward to walking past to see whats new in the window. He's nice fellow too!
