Good Day ,Golfers
This is my very first blog! My name is Purvis Presha' and I'm a serious golfer as well as instructor! Who really wants to read ( or write) about a little white ball going into a tiny cup! To some this a great waste of prime real estate and to others such as myself it is the ulimate challenge to beat the course and stay within yourself.. This is a game to where you can be great one minute and suck the next. As you follow my blogs ( hopefully) I will give you tips and practice ideas to work on. Also if you want to be amused and enjoy pictures of great golf courses I play, then I'm your guy!! Stay tuned for some very important...Read More

The northern half of North Cascades National Park is one of the most scenic places in the lower 48. The names of the peaks alone are enough to attract anyone who loves mountains; Mount Terror, Phantom Peak, Mount Fury.
After a short map study I decided on a route over Hannegan Pass, up along Copper Ridge, down to and across the Chilliwack River, up to Whatcom Pass, and then out to Ross Lake at Big Beaver and Ross Dam.
Getting dropped off at the trail head deep in the wilderness has a certain appeal. The only way out is the way through!
The first days hike took us to Hannegan Pass. The entire route was very scenic, with great views of Nooksack Ridge...Read More
Wilderness State Park
Michigan, USA
If you like to camp right on the beach of beautiful Lake Michigan then Wilderness State Park is the place to go. With a refreshing lake breeze waving the birch tree leaves on the nicely developed sand dunes it’s the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring Mackinaw City and Fort Michilimackinac just 11 miles...Read More
Whitefish Dunes State Park
North East Wisconsin.
Some of the most beautiful beaches on Lake Michigan lie within the confines of Whitefish Dunes State Park in scenic Door Co. Wisconsin. Door County WI. is an all year outdoor playground. It is a peninsula that lies north east into Lake Michigan north of Green Bay WI. It reminds one a little of Cape Cod MA. On the shore line there are pine trees, long grasses, white sand beaches washed by beautiful roiling breakers that stretch north to south. But there is so much more to this park than the beaches. Dunes State Park is a day use...Read More
It was a cool afternoon after thunderstorms rattled through a few hours earlier and some time in the marshy bottomlands of the Missouri river seemed like a great place to take some photos and go bird watching. So off to the Columbia Bottom Conservation Area north of St. Louis. To reach the area, go north approximately 2.8 miles from the I-270 Riverview Drive exit. Riverview Drive becomes Columbia Bottom Road at its intersection with Larimore Road. This area was acquired in 1997 and is really coming into it’s own. There are some 5 miles of paved roads with numerous pull offs with access to boardwalks out into the marsh and some interpretative...Read More
May 5, 2012 –I crawl out of bed as the sunlight reaches the top of the far ridge. It is quite chilly, but we decide to forego a morning campfire, since we will be hiking after breakfast. We eat our breakfast - granola, a smoothie, and hot tea- as we sit on boulders in the sunshine.
Yesterday afternoon Clifford and I backpacked in on the Borrego Trail to camp at the same spot we camped when we came up here in September. We had intended to backpack to Stewart Lake in the Pecos Wilderness, but found out just before we left that that there was most likely snow on the trail – over 3 feet just a couple of weeks ago and it has...Read More
45 miles of biking paradise! Tunnel Hill State Trail stretches 45 miles between Harrisburg to Karnak Illinois. This area provides bikers with a safe, scenic, and historic place to ride.
Once occupied and traveled by the railroad, in 1991 the State of Illinois was given right-of-away between Harrisburg and Karnak and developed the trail. Crushed limestone and gravel cover the trails, and provide a smooth ride through the beautiful scenic Shawnee National Forest.
As a mom safety is always my concern, I feel outdoor recreation should be safe for all ages, this is why I fell...Read More
