  • Bikes & Burritos’ 2021

    On Saturday the 28th of Sept. I rode from my house in Salt Lake City to Park City to meet up with a group of bicycle touring dreamers to do a bike camping over night in the Park City Valley. The event is hosted and put on by Darren Alff of Bicycle Touring Pro. Perhaps…

  • Years, and Years later

    I have a million words running through my mind and hopefully I can get them all down. I will try to get out what I am trying to say before I go and finally get my day started. For those who have been around for a long time many of you know much of my…

  • Bike Overnighter Set Up

    A little over a month ago I had attempted my first bike overnight. Biking from Salt Lake City up over into Park City. So I figured I would go over that first set up and then go over what I changed out. For the last couple years I have been going over, over and over…

  • Friday Night Concert Night

    Well I have just ended one of my busiest play weekends that I have had in a very long time. And now instead of sleeping I am staying up listening to more of Lake Street Dive. Back in when the Twilight Concerts tickets were going on sale as I was looking at the list of…

  • A reminder

    I am reminded today for myself as well as the rest of us to slow things down and to pay attention more. Yes a part of this is the very real and disturbing case of Gabby Petito. The anguish, pain and anger her family must be feeling is beyond what I am sure I have…

  • The Fire craker turns Five

  • 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…

  • Travels with my Mother

    I recently flew out to Tennessee to meet up with my mom for a mother/daughter camping trip out in North Carolina in the Asheville vicinity. One of my brothers got married this past spring in Vegas, my mother just went through a divorce and then moved across country and needless to say with all of…

  • 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…
