Last Photo Shoot of 2017
My last outing of the year... Tomorrow is supposed to be cold and miserable and I'll be too tired anyway. It was beautiful out this morning and the sunrise was amazing so Big Dog and I quick loaded up and headed for the trail. Today my diligence was rewarded with the amazing spectacle of a … Continue reading Last Photo Shoot of 2017
Hiking Weather
After what seems like forever, the weather, a running vehicle and a day off have aligned for a magnificent hike in the mountains. Amazing how fast things change around here, two days ago it was snowing and near zero degrees. Today started out pretty chilly but by the time I was done with breakfast and … Continue reading Hiking Weather
Ten tips for a successful snowshoe hike in the Colorado high country
Little experiment here... I wrote all this good stuff for an online news agency called the Examiner a few years ago and suddenly without warning they went out of business and all my articles just disappeared 😦 Luckily I wrote most of them in open office and saved them. Today fresh snow and Facebook reminded … Continue reading Ten tips for a successful snowshoe hike in the Colorado high country
The Knoll
Got a bit of a late start today, just could not drag myself out of bed. But it would not have mattered anyway, there is so much mist from all the rain that I can barely see the peak from here. Was kind of hoping I would see some wildlife on the drive through the … Continue reading The Knoll
Road Trip
Didn't even feel like getting out of bed this morning, much less going out and doing anything... But after wrestling with my mind I finally made it out the door 🙂 Of course having doggies who need their daily activities attended to help a lot! Had to make a stop at Walmart to pick something … Continue reading Road Trip
The Clearing
Continued my exploration of the new trailhead and trail system that I have been working for the last couple of weeks. After encountering "the gate" I had to branch out in a new direction and the cool cloudy morning we are having seemed just the day to do that. So early this morning the puppies … Continue reading The Clearing
Wings of Eagles
After the possibilities I discovered yesterday in my new trails paradise I was a bit more eager to get in the truck and get back up there today. I didn't realize how hiking the same exact trail every day for eight years had become complete drudgery. I never even liked that part of the trail, … Continue reading Wings of Eagles
Rough Start
Wasn't sure I was going to make it out this morning... I don't know, maybe it's the damp weather, or maybe just too many hours on the loading docks this week, but when I awoke this morning it felt like a bomb had exploded inside my body. Got up, turned on the coffee pot and … Continue reading Rough Start
Real Live Troll
Too much traffic to go anywhere and too hot and sunny for picture taking today, besides I couldn't get past the troll anyway. Crazy as it is, I have a real live troll in my life... blond woman, fat ugly bleached blond chain smoking foul mouthed wretch of a human being about 50 years old … Continue reading Real Live Troll
