Spring in Glacier – 2016

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 […]

Mid-Winter Goodness

2/1 to 3/13/16 – Again, I’ve gotten behind on the blog.  The reason for this delay is that good friends, plentiful adventures and great weather have forced me outside and away from my computer… schucks! Well, here goes another little posting about a whole bunch of wonderful wanderings out in the woods from mid-season this […]
