I’m home! Little Bear (who, remember, is not little anymore, though he can’t seem to remember that) keeps coming into my office, like right now, and trying to climb onto my lap, he’s so happy to see me. Eighty-five pounds of Lab maneuvering onto my chair. And he brings me little chips [...]

I was rushing through dinner because we got into Gunnison much later than I expected, and I still haven’t studied ONE BIT for my Wilderness First Responder recertification class that starts tomorrow morning, and they give you a multiple choice test coming in, and if [...]
You may recall from this list a few days ago (and by the way, I greatly enjoyed your lists–what fun) that Item #5 was “Go play in the outdoors at least once a month.”
So, since I wrote it down, now I feel committed. Which is why I’m heading into the wilderness in about an [...]

It’s a mark of how relaxing a backpacking trip can be when you spend two hours sitting in camp watching the cow channel.
That was what was on last night as we sat across from a hillside coated with about a hundred head of cattle. We had soup and ate trail mix and peanut butter [...]
On our way backpacking up to Yule Lakes yesterday to camp overnight, we ran into a wedding party. We didn’t know they were a wedding party until we noticed the wildflower wreath on the back of one of the women’s packs. We asked, they confessed. There were eight or nine people, and [...]
