A New Adventure - Yellowstone!





My barber has a friend who owns a small cabin about 25 miles from Yellowstone.











He has been gracious enough to lend it to me for a few months!

The cabin will serve as my home base while I explore this great national park during the late fall and winter months.


I was so excited to score such excellent lodging that I ran out and did what any sane person would do ... I wrote an article about how to Get Rid of Acne.


Skip and I leave tomorrow, expecting to arrive in mid November. I'll write along the way.


Happy traveling,


Ted

Exhausted at the End of the Trail



Reached Springer Mountain yesterday and officially finished the AT.

What a trip!







Haven't written an article to celebrate. Rather, I've given a lot of thought about where to go next.

My first inkling is to try Yellowstone during the winter months. The solitude would provide plenty of impetus to write a bunch of "Get Rid of ... " articles.

We'll see, but for now, we rest!

Crazed By Gnats at Blood Mountain GA



Even the gnats could not bother me at Blood Mountain. Incredible sunset for Skip and me. We'll be finishing up early next week.




I really thought we had seen the last of the gnats, but they really were out in full force.

Gnats are something everyone would be glad to be rid of. I wrote Get Rid of Gnats and included some instructions for building your own gnat trap.

I'll have to try it myself when/if I ever settle back down.

Till next time, may you have a pest free day!

No Man Boobs at Tray Mountain, GA



In Georgia now. Tray Mountain is a great place to overlook what I just hiked through in the Nantahala National Forest.







All this hiking has gotten me in shape. I noticed today that I have lost my dreaded man boobs.


This was not my intent when I started the AT trip, but it sure is delightful.


Wrote Get Rid of Man Boobs. No ground breaking thoughts, just some common sense.
Happy hiking to all!

Got the Hiccups at Dicks Creek Gap






Rolled through Dicks Creek Gap yesterday. Getting near the end of the trail!





Had a bad case of the hiccups. Probably from drinking water too fast.

The hiccups lasted for awhile.
They were kind of fun, actually.
Had a lot of fun writing Get Rid of Hiccups.
Enjoy the "hic" read. Boo!

Contemplating Stomach Fat at Standing Indian, NC



Spent a lovely time in the Standing Indian Basin, Nantahala National Forest, North Carolina.






One of the peaks surrounding the basin is known as Big Butt. I never had a problem with my butt being to big. However, I used to have quite the gut on me.

No big belly for me anymore, brother. Walking for months on end will do that for you.

I wrote Get Rid of Stomach Fat in honor of my long lost blubber. Hope you enjoy the read as much as I have enjoyed slimming down.
Happy hiking to all,
Ted

Skunked at Clingman's Dome, NC




I got skunked on Clingman's Dome, the second highest peak in the Smokeys!







Wasn't expecting it. In fact I didn't know I had spooked poor little PePe until I felt the stinky liquid streaming down my backpack.

My dog Skip avoided all the action. Lucky him, unlucky me. Unfortunately there is nothing for me to do except let it wear off over time. Who knows how long this will take?

Oh well, what are you going to do? I know what I did. I wrote How to Get Rid of Skunk Smell.

Hold you nose while you read,

Odoriferously yours,

Ted
