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 […]
Read more "Some Family Outings"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 […]
Read more "The Lovely Month of September"8/15/2016 – While on a relaxing week-long tip to the old family cabin on Lake Chelan, Grete and I decided we had to get out into the Cascades for a day… Being that the Enchantments were only an hour or so away, and I had only seen the area under the cover of snow, it seemed like […]
Read more "The Enchantments Traverse"2/13 to 2/15/2016 – After a solid month of routine work, skiing, eating and sleeping Grete and I were needing something to change it up. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I booked Yurtski’s Lupine yurt in the southern Swan Range for the weekend. As plans evolved (in the last couple days before the trip) we ended […]
Read more "Will You Be My Valentine at Yurtski?"12/1/2015 to 1/31/2016 – It was a mighty unusual transition back from Costa Rica’s hot, humid, sun-filled tropical climate to NW Montana’s cold, grey, snow-filled winter one… but we were really excited to be home again. We were easily distracted from our climatic concerns by the thing we missed the most while adventuring: our beloved big white […]
Read more "Winter So Far…"5/31 to 8/2/2015 – Well, it’s been a glorious summer so far in NW Montana. Grete and I have been outside so much that I really haven’t had a chance to edit -let alone post- photos and stories of our adventures… So here is a super broad post covering a couple of months of incredible […]
Read more "Montucky Summertime"3/18 to 3/21/2015 – Looking for a quick way to buck the recent “routine” Grete and I have developed around Whitefish (given the little snow and rainy forecast), we began searching for a quality adventure that would be low stress in a slightly drier place. Soon, I discovered the Columbia Plateau Trail – an old railroad bed […]
Read more "The Columbia Plateau Trail – WAY HARDER THAN IT LOOKS"Late April through early May – After the season had wrapped up in Utah, Grete and I headed to visit my folks in Seattle and to start work on our new summer home… A 1973 Airstream Argosy 24′. The project was all-consuming for roughly three weeks but we occasionally got out for quick hikes and brief […]
Read more "Spring in Washington"10/10/2014 – Back in early October, Bonnie had been craving a big hike for a while, so her and I headed to the Seattle-area classic Mt. Si hike. Turns out the combined 8 miles and 3k’ of elevation gain was a bit too much for our beautiful big girl and she didn’t walk right for the […]
Read more "A Quick Hike With This Pretty Girl…"A small set of photos from November, December, and early January winter adventuring with Grete… The adventures include: Airstreaming in Crested Butte, backcountry skiing in Washington, touring in Colorado’s beloved East Portal, and our first outing in Montana! Enjoy…
