I know nothing at all about #rocks but my favorite dorky dad activity is to go about halfway out in the river and dig down under the surface and find what I think are cool rocks.

Renovating my old clapboard house. Was hoping to find some old coins. No luck so far but found this calendar from 1916. Pretty cool #antiques #restoration

New type of running today. Wanted to be with my boys but they wanted to skate. So I ran 50 laps around this little skate park. In crocs. It was not well thought out. Massive blisters. Haha!

Went up Mt Cole in #Virginia to watch the sunset with the wildfire smoke making filters. Could not capture the true beauty. The sun was purple, pink, and yellow. #hiking #photography #appalaciantrail #getoutside to #nature

Today my sons completed a central PA rite of passage for them. Climbing to the top of the 1000 Steps outside Mount Union, PA. Quarry workers used to climb those steps every day to get to work. One of my favorite views any where. Worth the climb. #photography #hiking #getoutside to #nature

#ThickTrunkTuesday. This is a massive Sycamore on the farm I grew up on. Less than 50 feet from her is the remains of the Pennsylvania Canal. Spread throughout the fields surrounding her are countless Native American artifacts. The stories she could tell…

Not really #trailrunning. More gravel. When this trail opened I said I was gonna do this all the time. But the tunnel makes my gps go wonky and I hate that. #blueridgetunnel #getoutside to #nature

Cheating because my #stunday photo was from a hike I did with my boys yesterday. Mount Cole in VA. Was an awesome hike and my boys did great but still getting the ticks off.

Which there was a way to share how amazing the trail smells while out #trailrunning with all these beautiful #flowers blooming. #photography #getoutside to #nature

I needed the #mountains so bad that I could feel it in my throat on my drive to the trail. Therapeutic. #traileunning #getoutside to #nature #photography

Running back down the mountain and come across a fresh pile of bear scat and then get into town and all the neighborhood dogs are going nuts. Think I just missed crossing paths with Mr. Bear. #trailrunning #photography #getoutside to #nature

I love a distant turn while #traileunning. What’s going to be around the turn? A bear? Coyote? Deer or turkeys? Nothing but trees and the trail to keep pushing myself on? Three different trail runs around the turn was a naked person. Haha! #photography #getoutside to #nature

Still learning my ways around the small town in #applachia. Pictures don’t do this little league field justice. Even my son that doesn’t like baseball wanted to play Also, it had such a bear feel that I was shocked we didn’t see a bear.

Not particularly religious these days but went on a diet for Lent and dropped 30 pounds. I’ll be back on the diet tomorrow but today…I’m eating every morsel of this monster.

I spend a lot of time #trailrunning in the woods. Today I ended up out somewhere in Allegheny County, VA. Found this thicket of new growth, at least 10-15 acres. Pictures don’t do justice. Never seen woods this thick. #getoutside to #nature #photography

This trail was my baby before I got divorced. I logged countless miles on her. Gentle 6 miles out and back with 500 ft elevation. I cleared the shrubs, cut trees that had fallen, and ran my weed eater. Haven’t been there in a while. Glad someone is taking care of her. #trailrunning #nature

Went for a nice run in the rolling ridges and hills of where I grew up in Central PA tonight. Got done and realized I had done a “treadmill” run on my #Garmin so it didn’t track my elevation. Nooooo!!! #trailrunning #photography #getoutside to #nature

Not really #stunday worthy but the best pic I could get on my #trailrunning today. Went out for what I was planning on being a flat-ish run and ended up hitting a mountain. Welp. Climbed that mountain. #getoutside to #nature

A breezy evening in the mid 60’s as a nearly full moon rises over the Appalachians can make you just for a few moments forget about all the chaos in the world. #getouside to #nature #trailrunning #photography

Did another night of hill runs but got a nice reward of a decent sunset at the end. #trailrunning #photography #getoutside to #nature

Ran to the top of a #mountain today. You can just make out the glint of the roofs of my town down below. I do love a turn and burn down a mountain. #trailrunning #running #getoutside to #nature

James River Foot Bridge on the #appalachiantrail. Just recently learned it’s not called the foot bridge because it’s for walking but actually named after a Mr Foot. #trailrunning #photography #getoutside to #nature

I love an old gnarly #tree. I always gotta stop and take a picture when I see one. However…just looking at this picture I took today. Anyone else see a face/head?! #haunted #ghost

Saw a Great Blue Heron on my #trailrun today. This #bird was being all curious, checking me out as I ran and then I tried to get her picture and she got all camera shy. #getoutside to #nature

#SNOWRUN!!! No school today so between DoorDashing I HAD to take a break for a nice long run up and down the #mountains. #photography #getoutside to #nature

Sometimes I like to do a night #trailrun without a headlight. The shadows and sounds keep me on edge. But then I hear the chickadees calling and it puts me at peace. #photography #nightsky #getoutside to #nature

Wait…so the architect of project 2025 is 48. Motherfucker looks like he’s 67. No wonder he’s so angry.

Love finding a random #waterfall!! Slowed me down when I had to stop and listen to it speak for a while. #trailrunning #photography #getouside to #nature

More #running than #trailrunning but if you’re any where close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, at least in Virginia, the road is closed but the ice sheet is mostly gone making for some great running. #photography #getoutside to #nature

Brad Y @byoder.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

I was excited for the snow to be gone in #Virginia for better #trailrunning because it had turned into a sheet of ice but now I’m realizing I’m gonna be sad to see it go. #getoutside to #nature

Can’t wait for work to be over to go #trailrunning at one of my favorite spots in #Virginia. Haven’t been there in so long!! #photography #getoutside to #nature

Red tailed hawks are my favorite birds. I love watching them hunt. I was disappointed I couldn’t get a better picture of her but I realized that’s one of her strengths, the natural camouflage. #trailrunning #birds #getoutside to #nature

Trying to manifest warmth and spring by posting previous running pictures. I used to LOVE winter. Must be getting soft. From Three Ridges overlooking The Priest #trailrunning #photography #getouside to #nature #virginia

Sometimes I REALLY don’t want to go #trailrunning. I just want to lay on my couch. But I said I was going to capture #photography so I #getoutside to #nature. Most days I’m glad I went in the end. Somedays, still sucks.

The only camera I have is my iPhone camera but I saw the moon reflecting on the river while running in Waynesboro, VA. Wish I had a better camera. #trailrunning #photography #getoutside to #nature

All the snow running making me long for not slipping and sliding everywhere. A picture from a spring run on the Appalachian Trail to remind me of the future. #trailrunning #photography #getoutside to #nature

No trail run today. Took my boys up to hike and do fun stuff in the mountains like impromptu accidental sledding in the icy patches minus a sled. #photography #hiking #getoutside into #nature
