In September, Chris and I set off for a paddle down a long stretch of desert river. Putting in a few miles below the cluster of melon stands where the highway crosses the Green River in the town of the same name, we traveled down-canyon to the quiet confluence where the Green is subsumed into […]
On my final Colorado weekend, I joined James and Chappell, Slater, and a fun crew of buddies for a quick hop down to Shelf Road. It’s a sport climbing mecca, with big limestone walls that form a vertical rimrock along several small drainages. We had an awesome time playing around on the rocks and camping […]
Pete left Colorado and settled down back east. He met a great woman and found a job, and he has access to all the big city culture (homeless crooners) and cuisine (spaghetti and pate-balls, chili-cheese figs, etc). But he’s also a western outdoorsman, and he didn’t hesitate in planning his bachelor party for a big […]
I got out of town. A couple hours down the road from Boulder, I pulled into Eagle, Colorado for ice cream and gasoline, and caught wind of the fair and rodeo. I parked out in a satellite lot and made the hot, dusty pilgrimage back to the action. I walked with the strutting bucks and […]

With some important deadlines ahead, I buckled down and put in an long string of late nights and working weekends. In early April, it dawned on me that the liliacs had bloomed, then wilted. I subsisted on quesadillas. […]

From our perch on the Sunday Bay chickee, Chris utilizes a bench as seating, storage, drying rack and table.
Having done our part to safely launch the shuttle (‘Booster?’ Go! ‘Guidance?’ Go! ‘Dorsi?’ G…g…go!) Chris and I made a beeline for the Everglades City and the Ten Thousand Islands. We caught a shower, ate some fried oysters, and rented a Grumman canoe from Ivey House. We paid about $35/day, including some water jugs and […]
From Dillon to Silverthorne, and up to Frisco, they were all saying this was the year. We jump started our cars and headed up to see what the ruckus was about. Well, we found out… Link at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVGZnlycyH8
