Tom on the Rocks (Photo)
The Mount Zion Minor trail inside Taconic Mountains Ramble State Park in Vermont isn’t one of the most challenging hikes that you’ll find in a state park. But, it’s certainly one of the more rewarding hikes Tom and I have had in our time together so far. Considering that there was a curious man-made rock […]

We live in a world today where so much is happening at once that sometimes your brain just starts filtering and it doesn’t always filter properly.
