11/25 to 12/12/2020 – Grete and I needed to get out after a hectic fall semester of graduate school and roughly 9 months of COVID driven local-only living.

Read more "A Quick Hike With This Pretty Girl…"9/7 to 9/9/2014 – As rafting season was coming to a close, the hustle and bustle of fall travel commenced with an attempted week-long sojourn in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado.
