Birdcouple's A.T. blog. Tuesday, October 22, 2013. Last Hike of 2013. First a shout out to the most important person in my life, Cute Husband! Today is my guy's birthday and although I will not spill his age here on BC AT Blog, I will tell you the man hikes like a 25 year old. My hiking buddy and I set off at the end of September for a quick 3 day 38 mile hike in SW Virginia. Almost to the ponies in the Grayson Highlands, but not quite. For our last night on the trail for 2013.. When we walked to the Mo...

Birdcouple's A.T. blog. Friday, August 27, 2010. Squeezing in a hike. There are few things that make Cute Husband smile as much as hiking! August is a challenging month for me to take leave from work, but the trail was calling and we set out for Buena Vista, VA to crash at a hotel and get in a short overnight. We were lucky enough to convince Homer Witcher to come shuttle us and were beyond pleased that his wife Therese came for the ride too! And to learn more about flutterbyes. We made it to our destina...

Birdcouple's A.T. blog. Friday, April 29, 2011. Easter Sunday found us in Virginia where we met with Cute Son #2 and his girlfriend, Katherine for a walk in the woods to celebrate spring and the holiday in the best way BirdCouple could imagine. Aren't they just the sweetest? 13 mile dayhike on a gorgeous day with loads of great views. The leaves were that bright lime color, that they only possess for a week or so when they are still super new on the trees. And, Katherine found her first trailmagic. Ron a...

Birdcouple's A.T. blog. Friday, April 19, 2013. April can be dicey in Virginia. But we couldn't wait any longer. so with a chilly spring we set off for a 39 miler in SW VA. Our first Tiger Swallow Tail of the Year! A blow down never holds up hiking Cute Husband. Plus he is all light weight with his new back pack which meant I was always 50 yards behind. This was a lovely grove with a lovely spring where we decided to make a meal out of peanut butter and jelly while we filtered water. But, there really wa...

Birdcouple's A.T. blog. Saturday, August 10, 2013. BC Hits Vermont.AND HALF OF THE TRAIL COMPLETE! Well, before we hit the Long Trail, which is just over the Vermont border, Cute Husband and I had to climb a little mountain called Mount Greylock in MA. The Cute One planned an excellent 98 mile hike (our longest to date! After a lovely night in a lovely Howard Johnson, we started our hike into a new state! And, a new trail, as the Long Trail and the AT are one for a large section of VT. Hard to believe th...

Birdcouple's A.T. blog. Saturday, July 10, 2010. No snow on July 10. Picture perfect weather for a 2 1/2 mile section which we doubled back on for a lovely 5 mile hike. When we reached the top of the mountain, Cute Husband whipped out the perfect Anniversary card, kissed me hard and dragged me back down the trail so that we could make our dinner reservations. I can't think of a better way to celebrate 6 years of fun with this man. see why I am so crazy about this guy. Warren and Lisa Strobel. Homer and T...

Birdcouple's A.T. blog. Thursday, June 9, 2011. 65279;The PRIEST in Virginia has a been calling for several years as we tried to arrange climbing it with our two sons. Well, we finally managed to get on Adam's schedule and his gal pal, Katherine joined us for the adventure. For Cute Husband and I, this hike would connect the dots all the way from the border of CT to South of McAfee Knob! We've been here before! But, the suspension bridge was worth the small backtrack before we started ascending the PRIEST.

Kelly and Ron Gaulden. View my complete profile. Tuesday, November 13, 2007. We went to Trainfest. This weekend. We stayed at the Brookfield Suites. About five miles from the fairgrounds. Bubbie and Zadie went up with us and took an adjoining room. The hotel was perfect for us - plenty of space, big pool, hot tub, free breakfast and free drinks at night. Ari went to bed with gum in his mouth and managed to get covered with it. We are stil finding pieces on him. Thursday, November 1, 2007. It really is be...
