One of the many trails in Shenandoah National Park
After years of working 70 hours a week at jobs I detested, I felt like the proverbial "hole in the donut" - solid on the outside, but empty on the inside. Searching for meaning in my life, I abandoned my successful but unsatisfying career and set out on a six-month solo backpacking trip around the world to pursue my true passions of travel, writing, and photography.

Great photo. I’ve been to Shenandoah several times before. Thanks for the comment on my photo. That was out the bathroom window in our rented cabin at New Germany State Park in Garret County, Maryland. It was our 20th anniversary.

I’ve been looking for a beautiful outside park or other type of excursion on which to take my younger brother (too much video gaming) This might be it! Have you been? I also played but my picture is not nearly as nice =0)

Hi GiGi – Shenandoah is a gorgeous park with scads of trails leading to canyons, waterfalls, etc. You just have to watch for the bears. I actually encountered one on a trail. We looked at each other, and then he ambled off one direction and I went the other way!

I have always wanted to visit that part of the country. We occasionally encounter bears when hiking here in Oregon. They always seem to run as fast as they can in the opposite direction. Not used to humans, I guess.
Happy WW!
