The class was “Foundations of Outdoor Adventure,” and was a backpacking trip for freshman living on the outdoor-program floor of Teter.

The Hoosier, despite being a bit cold, was absolutely beautiful — the colors this time of year are simply stunning. Here’s a few photos to share.

(And, yeah, I ditched Blogger. I just wasn’t happy with what I could do with it — it’s no good for sharing photos like I want to).

The horse trails really get muddy. But I kind of like it.

And, of course, I’ll still put up some photography — I just got the zoom feature javascript working here so you can click on the image below to expand it.

This shot is from my recent backpacking trip to the Appalachian Trail on the Tennessee/North Carolina border. We were in a ton of fog, which spoiled some of the views but made for other beautiful scenery.
