Any day fishing…
As the old saying goes. And that day it was truer than ever. I have been fishing in my life, but it’s been a while. Yesterday I amended that situation. I recently enjoyed a guided fishing trip and tutorial on fly fishing from High Flying Flies out of Bristol. Here’s a quick recap. The day Continue reading

Not an ashhole…
An Ashfall. The kind that spews out of a volcano. And it happened around twelve million years ago. Give or take. It also happened in my old stomping grounds. Idaho. Southwestern Idaho. The cool thing is that it’s not exactly where it used to be. Twelve million years ago that is. I’m not the oldest Continue reading

Just like Mr. Gump
I’m on vacation. But this vacation is coming to a close. I left Keystone South Dakota this morning bright and early. I rode north and got in I-90 in Rapid City. As I headed east I noticed the traffic picking up. Still nothing as compared to back east, but much more traffic than I’ve been Continue reading

Everybody needs one
A day off that is. Due to the logistics I mentioned in my previous article, I checked everything off my list yesterday. So today is relaxing and doing some laundry. I’ve been wearing either dirty clothes or new clothes so far on this trip. Such a dirty boy. Also I’ll be writing about some things Continue reading

Don’t Rush Me…
What a day. Leaving Devils Tower and its environs was a little emotional. What a wonderful visit there. I’ve already swooned over the tipi camping and the tower, so I’ll mind my keyboard usage. But before I leave there — blog-wise — let me add one thing. Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in Continue reading

Nerding out over so many things. My lodgings for this segment of my trip, my location, and another new area for me out west. First my lodgings. This is just so cool. I was so happy to have found this place. If you find yourself up here, check out Devils Tower Tipi Camping. Before I Continue reading

Colorado Family Time – 2025
The impetus of this trip was a week-long visit with family. My oldest son lives in Korea. He and his girlfriend were planning a trip to the USA. During their planning phase, they settled on Colorado as his brother, their mother, and his sister all live in the Denver area. It was just the best Continue reading

Tickle me with a Red Feather
My son introduced me to his secret camping spot. I cannot divulge that it was in the vicinity of Red Feather CO. This area is part of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. Government/Public land. Free for us publics to use. For now. A certain government administration is talking about selling some of this Continue reading

That’s a lot of red rocks!
Yep, it was a lot of red rocks. And it was all spectacular. Red Rocks, Garden of the Gods. As a geology nerd, I’m almost at rock overload (no I’m not). At Red Rocks they were setting up for a concert, Charlie Crockett was playing that night. We got to hear part of the sound Continue reading

Rocky Mountain High…
And you know where. Wonderful start to the Colorado family gathering 2025. The location has been wonderful. For Tuesday the 24th of June we went to Rocky Mountain National Park. Specifically to the Bear Lake area. We did four of the lakes: Nymph, Dream, Emerald, and finally a hop skip and jump to Bear lake. Continue reading
