Introduction

I enjoy planning and leading urban hikes with an emphasis on the historical aspects of the location. I plan routes that I wish someone else would have done years ago when I was growing up here in the area.

What is your favorite thing to do in the outdoors? (keep it rated PG, your mother might read this)

Laid-back kayaking is my number one activity. I call it holistic kayaking. Night time "moonpadles" are my favorite paddling along the stretch of the Ohio River through downtown Cincinnati.

Where are you from? (if you've lived lots of places, list them)

Thanks to 37 years being affiliated with the Air Force, I have always been moving. I call Northern Kentucky "home" but reside in the Cincinnati area.

What do you do for a living?

Safety, mishap investigation, occupational health.

What is your favorite place to hike in the Cincinnati / Tri-State area?

Any place with an historic past. Learning of new places all the time.

What is your craziest hiking memory (or "have you ever been chased by a bear")

When I was very young, I hiked up Mount Elbert in Colorado, without planning or preparation. Surviving several near disastrous events, the evening was capped off when I fell through a beaver dam. That is why I stress safety when I head outdoors.

What Larry is saying about this Meetup Group

Excellent.

Larry, I'd love to join you, but Sunday mornings I am in church. Also, can you get anyone interested in longer urban walks (say 7 to 10 miles)?
