Camping for the third weekend in a row. I’m afraid I may have an addiction…to fresh air and great views!
Nice weekend of tent camping here in Maryland. Less than a month until a Colorado camping trip. My new MSR snowshoes may come in handy!
"Nobody ever tamed, domesticated, or scientifically bred us. But for at least three millennia, we have been engaged in a cumulative and ambitious race to modify and gain control of our environment. In the process, we have come close to domesticating ourselves."
- Wallace Stegner
"Life is a dog and then you die. No, no, life is a joyous dance through daffodils beneath cerulean blue skies. And then? I forget what happens next."
Reject the basic assumptions of civilization, especially the importance of material possessions.
Spent the afternoon booking an early June camping trip to RMNP. Goin’ old school - flying out, cheapest rental car, everything in the 65L pack except camera gear, no showers, all adventure!
Is it summer yet? Just booked the first part of my California stay (following WY, MT & NV).
And so it begins…Grand Teton and Glacier National Parks are on the books for summer!
Happy 2023 to all my traveling friends! Wishing you all amazing adventures, memorable trips and reliable rigs!
Not overlanding (unless you include trekking), but Peru is on the books for 2023. Woohoo!
Home again and planning 2023 adventures!
Home for the week - until Overland Expo East. Be there or be square!
Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin’ - goodbye to Yosemite, the Dana Plateau, Inyo NF, Hoover and Ansel Adams Wilderness, adieu my little pika friends. Until we meet again!
Well, time to switch from hiking shorts to pants - 34F this morning. Sausage, scrambled eggs and hot coffee while watching the sun advance across the mountains. Perfect view!
Oh, the mountains of the Sierra Nevada Range! Driving up Tioga Pass, they shone like jagged silver cathedrals. Met a playful pine martin on my hike. Such fun!
Traveling west - today Colorado, tomorrow Nevada.
“But no temple made with hands can compare with Yosemite. Every rock in its wall seems to glow with life.”
- John Muir
“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.”
Back on the road. Hooray!
One week countdown to the next adventure. Look out, California, I’m coming your way! -
