Adventure is on the horizon! Three short trips are planned - Arizona, North Carolina and Kentucky - followed by a two month summer meander thru my beloved western mountains!
Hello 2025! What adventures are in store for you? I’m excited to chart some territory and revisit favorites - planning is underway!
Back from a long holiday weekend of camping with friends. Last trip for the year, but plans are in motion for 2025 adventures!
Nights are getting cooler, trees are red, gold and orange - heading out for a bit of autumn camping before it gets downright cold. Ain’t life grand?
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
Home again!
Miles driven: 11,468
U.S. National Parks: 5
Canadian National Parks: 3
Highlights: Secret alpine lakes, wildlife (bison, moose, bears, eagles & more), crazy rock scrambles, one sprained ankle and a nearly fatal windstorm. Sometimes the unexpected challenges are the adventure.
Backtracking towards Wyoming to spend a few days stalking wildlife in Yellowstone.
Whew! Looking forward to cooler temperatures in the eastern Sierra Nevada Range. It’s been a warm summer trip thus far…
Warm and a bit hazy here at Mt. Rainier, but still doing some great hikes!
Spending a few extra days at Glacier National Park due to the wildfires and evacuation of Jasper, Alberta. My heart goes out to Canada!
Just crossed into Montana - love the Big Sky Country!
My 2024 summer adventure has begun. Bring on the mountains!
Two weeks until the Big Summer Trip - packing starts tomorrow!
Less than a month to the 2024 Big Western Adventure. First stop is Colorado!
“I prefer the saddle to the streetcar and star-sprinkled sky to a roof, the obscure and difficult trail, leading into the unknown, to any paved highway, and the deep peace of the wild to the discontent bred by cities. . . it is enough that i am surrounded by beauty.”
(Everett Ruess)
Back home again - 34 days, 6560 miles, one sandstorm and many beautiful sunrises/sunsets. Time to regroup and prep for the next adventure!
Pausing for a few days in Arkansas- Hot Springs and searching for diamonds. Just a few days ago I was post holing in hip deep snow at 10K feet!
The Grand Canyon never disappoints - the elk visited my campsite every day. Moving to New Mexico today as I begin a slow journey eastward.
Utah is in my rear view mirror - Angels Landing hike was great! Next is that really big hole in Arizona…lol… -
