  • Powder Mountain Ride 

    (Originally written July 2019) It’s simply the next progression in my riding.  I have been thinking about it for years, looking at trails differently as I hike.  When I am staring off into the distance I look past the building, the freeways and roads, past the people milling about looking out to some distance where…

  • On Bike Riding

    I’m on the train from Ogden heading back down to SLC. I went up to Ogden to meet with a bunch of other outdoor enthusiasts for a summer meet and greet of sorts… mostly just a few old friends getting to re-catch up and being up any ideas for group hiking, biking, paddle boarding, yoga,…

  • To Seattle with love 

    Last week I met my mom for a day outing in Seattle to celebrate Mother’s Day.  She loves to go into seattle and I love to get out of Texas when I can.   We had a pretty full day walking around and exploring the city.  We met down in Pioneer Park Station, I rode…

  • Fort Worth Museum Day

    I’ve got Doctor Who on and a cup of coffee and that is how I spend some of these week days now.  That and I am in between work trips and going out in 45 degree weather doesn’t sound fun today.  Though with all of the Midwest having a polar storm maybe I should complain…

  • San Diego Layover 

    I am back to the hub base of Dallas and yet still on my happy high of being in San Diego for a good layover.  Just a few things make me happy and that is good coffee, 70 degree weather and lots of places to walk.  Oh and a really good Farmers Market.  I might…
