• Camden Hills State Park (6/01) - Jeff used to do a lot of exploring in Camden Hills State Park, about a 1/2 an hour from him when he lived in Winthrop, Maine.  The park was right on the ocean and featured plenty of small mountains, lakes and coastal views.
• Canoeing the Androscoggin River (6/30/01) - What to do on a Sunday afternoon or after work?  Back when Jeff was still working in Maine, he got to go on paddling trips with friends from work on the Androscoggin and the Kennebec, both of which were great for leisurely paddles in the afternoon.
• Mount Mansfield (Spring 1997) - Jeff along with some college friends tackle Mount Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak.  They didn't quite make the summit, but that didn't mean it wasn't a great hike.
• Baxter State Park (10/96) - While in College Jeff, Brian and Clayton decided to head to Baxter State Park to climb Katahdin.  The weather didn't cooperate for the Knife Edge, so they ended up on the Brothers Range in some pretty nasty weather.
