Not really a lumberjack. Enjoys fixing things on the Mount Vernon Trail.

I ride through here almost daily and this is exactly what I do. I move to the "car" lane when I safely can do so, since almost all of the car traffic is turning on to Reed. Being in the general lane eliminates the risk of getting a right hook and also makes you more visible at the intersection.

Endorsing Kate for all of your graphic design and illustration needs. @mountvernontrail.org’s brand guide, beavers, merch trail maps and banners were all done with Kate.

We really missed out on the opportunity to restore this lot to its historic use as a place to gut and pack fish.

The best of the Rocky Mountain National Park photos. I regret leaving the real camera at home.

Most effective teacher I ever had never assigned homework. He had incredible structure in the classroom and made sure we did all the practice while he was there to help.

Of all the homes I have renovated, plumbing was always the most difficult. But also everything I know how to do is the result of giving it a try. Make sure you know where the water shutoff is for the shower and for the whole house and test before you start.

Im also thankful for the work of Barbara Lynch and Ellen Pickering and the volunteers that built the first trail segment and for the many people involved in expanding and improving the MVT over the last 55 years.

I’m fortunate that I get to be a steward of the @mountvernontrail.org and care for a trail that has served as my transportation, exercise and psychologist. I’m more fortunate that other people show up for the trail every week and that many are now lifelong friends.

I’m incredibly thankful for the work of Rails to Trails and the people that have worked to establish trails. It has had a profoundly positive impact on my life leading me to a community of amazing people and unforgettable trail experiences.

My first impression of DC was the view of a busy Mount Vernon Trail from the window of a cab. I couldn’t wait to ride it once my bikes arrived.

I started biking as an adult in 2008 when I found myself semi-employed and living next to the West Orange Trail in Florida. I bought a used hybrid bike on Craigslist and was immediately hooked by psychological benefits of trail riding.

Thanks to everyone who voted for the Mount Vernon Trail to join the Hall of Fame. If you know me from bike stuff it’s only because of the impact of Rails to Trails Conservancy.

The Mount Vernon Trail needs votes to make it into the Hall of Fame. Help me out by submitting a vote (or two or three or twenty). We're working hard to keep bringing national attention and resources to the trail.

It was very nice. Started early enough that we had the waterfall to ourselves for 10 minutes before another hiker showed up.

Would recommend. Half of the trail is still closed from Helene damage so I’d wait for the repairs to finish. I did an out and back from Abingdon to Damascus and the bike rental was only 20 bucks.
