Welcome to Breakfast in America
My photo journal is an eclectic mix of things; there’s no guiding theme or topic. It is whatever happens to catch my attention, what I’ve been thinking, doing, and whatever my current obsessions are. At the moment, they are clearing some of the backlog on my ‘honey-do’ list, backpacking, hammock camping, and, I’m always, taking pictures.

Filtering water ready for the day’s hike
Filtering water ready for the day’s hike. My revised plan is to take the Cedars Trail down to Long Creek, then the Long Creek Trail and Pole Hollow Trail back to the Pilot Trail and the trailhead. That way I can bag a few more miles from what has been a low-mileage trip so far. Copyright © 2023 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. -

Day Three — Morning sunshine, camped at ‘Twin Falls Hollow’
Morning sunshine, camped at ‘Twin Falls Hollow.’ Time for a cup of tea, and to start making plans for the day — from the comfort of my hammock, of course. Copyright © 2023 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. The temperature dropped to near freezing overnight, but I was warm, and slept like a log. Once the sun had broken over the eastern side of the hollow I folded back the tarp so that I could enjoy the morning sunshine while I had breakfast.
Big question of the day, where to go? I wasn’t in the mood for an eight mile hike, which was my original plan, instead I thought I’d cut down the Cedar Trail (Middle Trail) to Long Creek, and stop at Long Creek for lunch before taking the Pole Hollow Trail (Pete Hollow Trail), back to the Pilot Trail and the trailhead. That ought to be five or six miles, leaving me a few miles short of my target, but I much preferred that idea.
