Slipper and I have "finally" been able to match our work schedules by taking off on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Yay us! Now having off the same days, our intention is to backpack and overnight tent camp each week (getting back home in time to get a good night's sleep in the Airstream and be ready [...]

This month of December has truly been a Christmas Month (known by many as "The Christmas Season", hence "Tis the season to be jolly... fa la la la la la la la la."

TLC SAID SO

Okay... okay... okay... I feel sure that some of the younger generation are asking, "Who is TLC?" Great question! Let me assure you that I am not talking about "TBC" (the Taking Care of Business Logo of Elvis Presley), I'm talking about the vocal trio from a decade or so ago. A lyric to one [...]

DAY TRIPPER

By |2018-04-09T11:27:19+00:00April 9th, 2018|Hikes, Hiking|

From Thru-hiking to Day-hiking, one thing is for sure... a DAY TRIPPER is far better than NO TRIPPER! Slipper and I look for any and every opportunity to sneak out into the woods for a DAY TRIPPER hike... walk... stroll... climb... and venture. It's our way of staying centered and balanced to the pace-of-life that [...]

PUTTING THE “WILD” IN WILDERNESS

By |2017-12-26T13:52:17+00:00November 20th, 2017|Hiking|

Needless to say, being back in the "dog-eat-dog"... "fast-and-furious"... "balls-to-the-wall"... "work-a-day" world, Slipper and I get pretty stoked... excited... and wild about getting back outside. You might say that we are all about PUTTING THE "WILD" IN WILDERNESS! With us both being off work on Sundays, we are "WILD" about getting back into our church... [...]
