  • Travels with My Mother-part III

    For my mothers birthday I had planned to get up early and make breakfast and have everything laid out. Sometimes plans have to be revised, breakfast was not coming together that morning…Ah now that I remember we were trying to get the fire going and it wouldn’t go. I had also slept in longer than…

  • Travels with my Mother -down the river

    Mom and I woke the second day to rainy and damp camp. It was mostly damp we had put everything up either in the bear box or underneath the canopy. While mom was getting ready for the day I wanted to get breakfast and coffee ready for us. I found out that I don’t know…

  • First Bike Overnighter

    At the beginning of the month I had two weeks off of work. The first week I really didn’t have much planned for it. I kept going back and forth on where to go or what to do. I finally bit the bullet and decided that it was high tide for me to go on…

  • Connection in Columbus

    Sitting here before I head back into work today and looking back over my pictures from the week and mostly the day I got to spend a few hours with my brother in Columbus. There is something unique about getting to know your siblings as adults. Obviously the sibling/family connections but also the becoming friends…

  • Aire of Thoughts

    Yesterday I biked myself up to Millcreek Canyon so I could go and hike Mt Aire. Its been on my list and though I didn’t finish at the summit I was still happy with how much I had done for the day. Sometimes we just have to know when to turn around and head back…
