Adventures

Main Salmon

We rarely get the good permits - no wait - we never get any permits during the lottery, but we can usually pick up a cancelation. Kari is very good at watching the sites and snagged a good one: Main Salmon for late August. I'm only now...

Red Castle Lakes + Wilson Peak

Day one We hiked in starting mid-afternoon on Saturday from the China Meadows trailhead. Tory caries Karis Osprey pack, and she his. Fairly flat 10-mile hike, maybe a total of 800 ft elevation gain. The trail was very muddy, with lots of minor walk arounds avoiding the...

Beulah Vista

It took me a while to understand what sort of vista a Beulah vista was. Apparently, it's a sweet view of Mount Beulah which we caught brief glimpses of on our two day yurt trek. I haven't historically been overly excited for these yurt trips, although I...

Powder Day

There haven't been too many days like these in the last few years. Powder nearly too deep. Snowboarding. With Kari. Sublime day.

A Night at the Bards

It's been over 20 years since Kari and I worked for the Bards in Evergreen, but they were throwing a party and put us on the invite list. Kari wasn't about to miss it and I thought it would be a nice getaway for the two of...

Murdock Ski Tour

Very nice day ski touring with Kari and Lin. Started in Upper Pinebrook traveling up Toll Canyon and ripped a few laps off the NE side of Murdock. Beautiful day

More Canyon Time Please

Got a few days away last weekend. Tegan was originally going to join me but decided to stay home - too many fun things going on here this weekend. So alone I went - Thursday evening to Sunday. It was a good quick trip, and very very...

20 Years

Kari and I celebrated 20 years of marriage this weekend, spending a few days bumming around southern Utah in a Teardrop trailer! She's been somewhat excited to give one of these a try, and even though I've been very poot poot about it, I have to say...

A review of my buddy Josh’s Felt Decree

This is a review of my friend Josh's mountain bike. This is not a review of the Felt Decree as a whole, but this particular bike, and it's particular features and quirks. The bike has been in my garage for nearly two weeks now, the result of...

Sandthrax Again

It wasn’t my first choice, but here we are, canyoneering in North Wash again. It’s a big group this time. Angie and Art, The DeFords, Brad and all associated kids. Jarrett and Mel, Mel’s sister Lara and Sean Mann are also here. It’s been a good couple...
