Some of the mountain bikers who came to Baltimore County Council’s working session that included discussion of the upcoming resolution to support mountain bike trail access in Loch Raven Reservoir. Many more other also came, filling the meeting room.
Now’s the time to thank our local government leaders for supporting efforts to bring a world-class, sustainable trail system to Loch Raven Reservoir.
It looks like important folks at many different government entities are close to reaching agreements on this big issue for Baltimore-area outdoor enthusiasts:

So take some time to call, email, tweet etc to thank some key people. Let them know you appreciate their support for helping make Loch Raven Reservoir a better recreational opportunity:

Skoshi’s video has been getting a lot of views from this German website: http://www.hans-wurst.net/video/hund-heult-mit-sirenen/.
Very cool. The American Eskimo is a branch of the Spitz breed of dogs which have some German roots.
Skoshi is howling in disappointment. Stay tuned to this blog in case they do put him on in the future…
Here’s some howling good stuff on Skoshi:

Patapsco’s Winter Wonderland
Riding mountain bikes in Patapsco / Avalon on a cold, winter Sunday. First mtb test of the mighty hd170 action cam. This is 720p. Still need to try full 1080p!!
It was about 25 degrees with windchill down to about 10 degrees that day. Brrrr. Good footwear is essential. Lake boots, Louis Garneau’s or just cheap booties with duct tape.
And check out this 4-min thrill down Soapstone Trail:

The sound and movements of an ancient Korean Buddhist ritual came alive at Towson University on Friday. The ritual, called the Young San Ceremony, was originally a three-day affair and one of the most elaborate of Korean Buddhist ceremonies. The chanting, drumming, cymbals and dance was inspirational on a cold and damp evening.
It was the final performance by the Young San Preservation Group it its four-stop USA tour and was sponsored by Towson Universities Asian Arts & Culture Center.
Here’s more info on the ceremony and group: The Sound of Ecstasy and Nectar of Enlightenment. Check out the video on the page.
And also check out the Asian Arts & Culture Center. It is a real gem and offers a lot of great events.
I’ve started creating what I hope will be an interesting, fun and rewarding family movie project.
The basic idea is to have our family today collaborate on a message to future generations through the magic of movies.
Think about that. What would you want to say to or show people in your family who you will probably never actually meet?
While walking on the beach with Brenda, I was inspired to make a short “teaser” movie clip:
Stay tuned for more …
Baltimore City purchased the historic Senator Theater in May. The Baltimore Development Corporation is now seeking proposals from developers. The deadline for the proposals is Nov. 20th.
In the meantime, the city is allowing former owner Thomas Kiefaber to continue showing movies and having other events: http://senator.com/
I turned 47 today. So I rode my bike one mile for each year. Way fun.
Here’s some pictures from some earlier birthdays…
