Tips and Tricks
PACK SMART—Going into the backcountry is something you really need to think about; where you’re going, what you’ll need, and when you’ll need it. For example, put items in the bottom of your pack that you won’t need until the end of the hike. Keep items like food, sunscreen, bug spray and camera gear handy in the top, side and belt pockets.
Welcome
Welcome to Western Traveler, a website dedicated to my love of traveling and the Great Outdoors.
My home is in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I spend my days at Mammoth Cave National Park, following stints at the Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi and Ocmulgee National Monument in Macon, Georgia.
Most of the photography you'll see on Western Traveler is my own. However, special thanks must go out to my friend, Jeff Campbell of Utah for his many beautiful image contributions. His dedication to the site is greatly appreciated by all.
Feel free to browse through the Photo Gallery, check out the various informational articles, share in my adventures with the Travel logs, visit some of my Favorite websites.
