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.

Turning Point

One of those memories from one year ago popped onto my Facebook today, it was a great memory of a great day, breakfast with my beloved cousin whom I hadn't seen for too many years to even count.

The Dilemma

Just when I thought I had found the superhighway to the high peaks of the Ute Pass northern ridge, I find myself thwarted by a gate and a no trespassing sign 😦  I finally got an early enough start in the cool of the day to really take a run at that trail with the … Continue reading The Dilemma →

Well anyway, I have summit fever again this week and am preparing for … Continue reading No Unfriendlies at 14,000 feet →

Was not expecting my best photo agency to become my worst in a matter of a couple of months, and wasn't expecting to have to be working a regular job to make ends meet. But here it is, almost August and I have … Continue reading Back in the Groove →

Teach Us to Profit

Again today I awake early in the morning just as I did yesterday, stunned that it is possible to feel so terrible so early. It has been a long dry spell in the picture taking business, so many miles on the trail with so little to show for it. I have heard it said many … Continue reading Teach Us to Profit →

Nocturnal and First Snow

Two o'clock a.m. and I'm wide awake, too awake to sleep and too tired to do anything constructive. Starting to wonder if I'm becoming nocturnal! I hope not, hiking at night would be a real bummer! Guess I'll write a blog. Nothing like throwing a bunch of random thoughts onto the virtual paper to bring … Continue reading Nocturnal and First Snow →
