Billy on the Potomac

by Srikanth Perinkulam on December 3, 2018 in Adventure / Travel, Photo, Weekend notes with 24 Replies

I've had my eyes on the Billy goat trail for a while now. With a beautiful foggy forecast, this Sunday was a great day to head to the woods. We reached the Chesapeake and Ohio National Historic park in about an hour's time, only to realise that the Billy Goat section A and B trails… Continue Reading

Mount Garfield Hike

Photo taken at: Mount Garfield First hike with the AMC. Four hours climb up to the summit with icy conditions in the last 1000ft. Microspikes saved the day! Under tree line pretty much all the way till the end. The peak does open up to a 360 degree view. Could spot quite a few other… Continue Reading

WFA Certified

Over the last 12 or so years that I've been hiking now, I've learnt a ton from my goof-ups. I believe in taking calculated risks and am reasonably okay with 'winging' a hike as long as I have the right gear and know what the game-plan is. Still, every hike that I've been on and… Continue Reading

Cunningham falls

by Srikanth Perinkulam on September 3, 2017 in Adventure / Travel, Photo, Weekend notes with 11 Replies

Nik turns 10 and we decided to spend the day outdoors. Head to Cunningham falls for a hike instead of Shenandoah. The falls by itself wasn't any impressive. Took less than 30 minutes to reach the tiny cascade standing all of probably 80ft. Was expecting Maryland's highest falls to be much higher than this! Looped… Continue Reading

Return visit

Seward Johnson's - Return visit A quick weekend trip to Chicago to meet Neeraj and Kanu. Took this opportunity to explore Chicago a bit. Chicago downtown felt like an eclectic mix of Boston and NYC. Spent some time walking around the city on Saturday covering the regular spots leading up to Navy pier and back.… Continue Reading

Ferry crossing beach State Park

by Srikanth Perinkulam on August 12, 2017 in Adventure / Travel, Photo with 0 Replies

Torn between the Baldface trail and the Ferry crossing beach State Park, we decided to head to the latter. Proximity to water made it an easy decision. A short 2 hour drive from home and we reached the state park around 09:00am. The trails turned out to be much shorter than anticipated. Covered the whole… Continue Reading

Placid Mt. Washington

by Srikanth Perinkulam on August 1, 2017 in Adventure / Travel, Photo with 0 Replies

It felt like we climbed up a beast deep in slumber and got down much before it even realized anything. All that I had visualized about this supposedly treacherous hike was flipped all over. Most likely due to the weather, which was was way too perfect! It actually made it feel much easier than the… Continue Reading

Flying 31 with the reindeer

PC&JC gifted Miss Me, little L and me a soaring gift for our birthdays. Four minutes of controlled flight 'flew' by incredibly fast. Calls for a return for some more certification dives soon and no, the solid whack at the end was not planned. https://youtu.be/x8pVQDQKvdM Continue Reading

Appalachians next!

by Srikanth Perinkulam on October 8, 2014 in Adventure / Travel, Running with 3 Replies

Couldn't have ended September on a better note! Pounding the hilly terrain in the Adirondacks for 36 hrs, straight through the night with 9 other folks - This has been my best run so far. Though technically that's a lot of time for 197 miles, I guess it's the nuances of the event that really… Continue Reading
