5/2/2016 – I finally got the chance to get out with the local mountain legend, and my awesome boss, Don Scharfe.  This fella has a level mountain mastery that the community of the Flathead Valley respects and learns from.  His passion and skills are self taught and come simply from years spent in zealous wandering in […]

Some Family Outings

4/1 to 5/9/2016 – When you get a call from your best buddies proposing that they might come stay with you for a month, take them up on it.  Then they’ll stay longer.  And keep coming back. And that’s the best part. That was the case when Jonny and Leslie came back to town last […]

The Lovely Month of September

9/3 to 9/20/2016 – Suddenly it was September, and the long, warm days of summer quickly transitioned into crisp and ever-shortening days of autumn.  With this change in season, came a renewed vigor for the outdoors (because fall is the BEST time of year to play in the mountains). Grete and I joined a large […]

Sperry Glacier

5/10-11 & 24-25/2015 – Well, I just realized that I lost track of time and photos (as often happens) and hadn’t posted these photos from a couple of wonderful trips up to the Sperry Glacier last spring…  I got the awesome opportunity to volunteer up on Sperry Glacier in Glacier National Park for the USGS doing […]

Montucky Summertime

Uncle Mike’s Visit

5/1 to 5/4/15′ – Over the past couple years I’ve heard many stories of Grete’s adventurous Uncle Mike from herself and her family.  They all seem to lovingly refer to him as “crazy” and describe the trips he takes  he takes as “unbelievable.” He has bicycle toured through much of North America, India, China, Southeast Asia, and South […]
