The Three Self-Proclaimed "Handsome Trailheads" Hike Vickery Creek Trail, Then Make Tracks To NFA Burger.
Although People magazine has never deemed any Trailhead worthy of inclusion in its annual “Sexiest Man Alive” issue, Trail Master Guy declared, with no substantiation, that he and participating hikers Brad and Patrick were “the handsome Trailheads.” Unsurprisingly, the inflated-headed twosome readily agreed. With an echo chamber of three, who was to argue? Echoes are reassuring and confirming. Lawyers representing the other three Trailheads immediately issued cease and d


Trailheads Mourn As They March, Revel In God’s Crayon Box, And Feast At Owens & Hull.
This was our first outing following Roy’s retirement from the trails, and Trailheads were shaken. Brad was so gripped by grief that he was a no-show, saying he had “pulled his hamstring.” What a lame excuse–– does he think we’re idiots?! Taffy gets pulled, Brad, not muscles. But the other Trailheads all showed up as Trail Master Guy led us on the Heritage Park Trail in Mableton. If you’ve never hiked this path, you simply must lace up and go. Mind your step, though, since


Trailheads Lose A Man, Tramp Through Piedmont Park, And Stuff Their Gaping Pieholes At Woody’s CheeseSteaks.
It is a sad day in Trailhead Land. We lost one of our own, a man in the prime of his life who has hung up his hiking boots and gone to his great reward– if you think playing pickleball, practicing guitar, and perfecting cat photography are treats. On this overcast day, we learned our beloved Roy Tumbles is no more. We know some news sources will jump to the conclusion he met his demise at the hands of a rabid squirrel or fled the country to avoid incarceration for any numbe


Roy Runs Out Of Believable Excuses, Trailheads Rally To March With Thousands, And In Nature, Then We Engorge Ourselves At City Barbecue.
We witnessed a miracle this week as Roy rose from his bed of frequent minor ailments and major excuses to join his friends for a hike. Joyous Steve dropped to his knees and cheered, “Hosannas” at the sight of the prodigal Trailhead’s return to the fold. George is still exploring the wilds of Oregon, hiking along with Carole and a couple of jokers named Lewis and Clark, who are so adept in the wilds they don’t even need the AllTrails app. “Is this the Oregon Trail?” George as

We posed for a selfie by a fallen tree and noticed something on top of it.
