The first photo album from my recent vacation, a small collection of shots from Pettigrew State Park, has just been posted. I was disappointed with the hiking conditions at the park. Trails weren't marked, and the overall signage at the park was fairly lacking. Thanks to recent rains, the insect population was seemingly at an all-time high; they were so bad, I actually stopped my hike halfway down a trail and went back to the car. Lake Phelps is an incredible lake to see, however, so I recommend checking out this park; perhaps in the colder months when the bugs aren't so vicious.

More photo albums from my vacation are on the way; I have at least 6 more in the works!
