  • could time off be longer?

    Happy Weekend Ya’ll! I’ll say that, since I have just been in the south for a week. I have a bunch of posts coming along here in the next week or two. I had 2 much needed glorious weeks off of work and you bet your bottom I used those days how I wanted to,…

  • In Desolation

    I have been trying throughout the summer to make my way up thru some of these canyons we have and to check out the hikes. So on my days off I slowly check them off one by one. Towards the last week of June before my work that would be working over the 4th of…

  • A month in and out of Rapid City, SD

    Back in June I got to spend some time each week in Rapid City, SD. Rapid City is in the foothills of the Black Hills your gate way into Mount Rushmore for those of you not fully aware. Each work trip into Rapid City gave me something different each time getting to experience this wild…

  • 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.

  • 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…

  • Day Outing to Bald Head Island

    Bald Head Island had been on my list right from the start when I had found out about the little island and lighthouse just south of Wilmington, NC. It fascinated me that it is the place that all these uber rich and celebrities go when they are wanting beach vacations in the Carolinas. I also…

  • Hiking in Montana

    Over Memorial Weekend I worked a 4 day trip that took me two of those days into Montana where I could get some hiking in. I always love it when my overnights work out and I am able to get outside and explore, hike, bike or swim. Mostly I love it when I am able…

  • Backyard Movie Night

    I’ve been wanting to do a movie night in the backyard for awhile now. We kinda have the good backyard for it and the last few weeks (months) I have been mentioning doing a movie night with the roommates at some point this summer. On Sunday when I got home for work, literally walked in…

  • Hammocks State Beach

    Camping behind sand dunes, sounds of ocean waves, salty skin. Tall beach grass, waves crashing, turning into wakes, card games at night. Starry night sky, black bears lurking about. Knot tying, screws in sounds, breakfast with Elvis. With love, jess
