me trying to look cool sitting on a rock - well, it was a great picture anyway.

wonder where this photo came from - probably testing the camera before or after we went camping. its a view from outside Burruss Hall, facing the dormitories.

there was this great big (well, maybe not so big) lake in the park, and we got into this gizmo where you could paddle with your feet. Godfrey and i did the gentlemanly thing (but suffered afterwards). Suzi just enjoyed the ride.

Bing-bing (the Chinese guy desperately looking for a wife), Shu-chun and her friend who arrived in Blacksburg just before the camping trip. (one of us leaned forward across our somewhat unstable paddle-boat to get this picture, and they did likewise for the one above).

a flower ... Godfrey just had to get pictures of every flower and mushroom he saw on the hiking trail. for this one, his camera couldnt zoom in so he borrowed mine.

the big hiking trail - in between the two nights of rain. notice that the sign says "Horse Trail". we discovered too late that this meant the trail was too muddy for hikers ...

no prizes for guessing who these two sleepy heads who shared the tent with me were. and they thought that if they couldnt see the camera, the camera couldnt see them :))

a strange angle picture of part of the New River. this is probably from one of the outlooks at the New River Gorge Bridge.

a picture of the Bridge over the New River. this bridge is almost a kilometre off the ground. for comparison, im standing down near the water's edge.

a very dark picture of Godfrey - guess we shouldnt really have been taking pictures in such poor lighting. in the background is the New River Bridge.

me again, standing in exactly the same place, but this time its a full picture. no, I'm not wearing shorts - my pants are rolled up to avoid picking up mud from the trail ...
