A soon-to-be-opened trail in the Green Mountain Nature Preserve, Turtle Creek Trail parallels its namesake down into Alum Cave Hollow. As Turtle Creek is just a provisional trail name, it may well have a different permanent name. We’ll see. In the meantime, here are some sneak peaks at some of the sights along this trail, taken during recent workdays for constructing the trail.
I'm from Huntsville, Alabama where I work as a Software Engineer and part-time banjo instructor. My wife Miiko and I worship at Rivertree Downtown.
I've been playing various instruments since my teen years. I started mandolin and dulcimer at about age 17 and banjo at 20. I love just about all kinds of music. In terms of banjo styles, I play and teach Scruggs, melodic, clawhammer, and 2-finger styles.
I'm also very keen on theology, being a Trail Care Partner with the Land Trust of North Alabama, photography, urban planning, architecture, astronomy, ATM (amateur telescope making), birding, martial arts, and about 30 other distracting hobbies to a (mercifully) lesser extent.
