9/3 to 9/5/2021 – It’s real hard to see your best friends when they live in the Yukon and there is a global pandemic locking down any international travel. COVID-19 had kept Jonny, Leslie and I apart for a little too long and they were about to become parents, so when the border opened I […]
Read more "Pre-Daddy Donjek Packrafting Trip"4/26 to 4/30/2018 – Keeping along the lines of chronological order (and being way out of season) here is a real highlight trip of this last spring. A couple of weeks before this trip, I had the mad itch to get out for a multi-day adventure but wasn’t having much success locking anything down. Then […]
Read more "May Bob Marshall Snow Survey"6/26 to 8/11/2016 – Well here goes another round of photos that happen to only be a couple of months behind! Since the last update, we’d began to hit our summer stride and hopped out on a couple of classic run/hike/jikes. Grete and I had a deuzy of a day on our first trip into the […]
Read more "The Busy Part of the Summer of 2016…"5/8 to 6/8/2016 – Here is another collection of photos from day-trips early on this summer… We’ve got a couple pictures from tandeming up Going to the Sun Road, a run up in the Cabinets Wilderness, as well as a jog up to Triple Divide Pass and Medicine Grizzly Lake in Glacier. That lovely lady Grete really likes […]

Read more "Late Summer Adventures"9/3 to 9/10/2013 – Grete and I have worked for an excellent rafting company, Liquid Descent, for the past few summers doing daily sections of quality Colorado whitewater. Guiding whitewater with paying guests can get a little repetitive after a while and our perpetually-super-stoked owner, Alan, proposed the idea of a multi-day trip to wrap […]
Read more "The Lower Salmon"10/17 to 10/22/14′ – When you sit in a canoe all day for 6 straight days you learn a few things about this timeless style of exploration. Here are a few things Grete and I picked up while paddling up the 55 mile-long Lake Chelan in late October: 1. Canoeing is like backpacking on water. […]
Read more "Canoeing Up Lake Chelan"10/28/2011 – No more than two hours after having landed in Alaska (back on October 3rd), I was out hiking around the Mendenhall Valley with a couple of my WEMT classmates. The glacier was a powerful piece of geologic and climatological history that immediately instilled in me the belief that Alaska is something special and […]
Read more "The Mighty Mendenhall Glacier"Last summer was my rookie season as a raft guide. Although the summer of 2010 has forever changed me, I took very few photos and instead lived every moment to its fullest.
