Tracy and I went home for Thanksgiving 2007...we decided to try our luck at Thanksgiving

since Christmas always seems so wild.  Thanksgiving was wild, too, so we'll probably stick to

Christmas.  But the weather and season were outstanding.  I REALLY love fall back home, and

I need to go every year if I can, I think.  On 18 Nov 07, I went out to the Obed River (Google

Map) with Larry...somehow I once again tricked him into hiking about 6 miles...I still don't know

how he keeps falling for those tricks after all these years...  On 19 Nov 07, I took another hike

by myself up to the Bald River Trail (Google Map).  I had another great hike, where I didn't see

a soul after the first half mile.  The leaves were turning and falling...the weather was

great...man, I love it out there.  I also sat at Indian Boundary Lake for awhile...also great.

Then on 20 Nov 07, my dad and I hiked around Norris Lake at Loyston Point (Google Map).

Man, that is a really nice place this time of year, also.  We hiked a little cross-country, while I

taught my dad how to use the GPS.  The weather was just perfect, and the leaves were falling

in the steady breeze.  This was the weather that makes me want to move back home and

never leave.
