A Quick Weekend at Organ Pipe
It was supposed to be raining on the Southern California coast, and pretty cold in Joshua Tree and other desert locales in southern California. I also couldn’t find too much in the way of campsites to reserve, but we had a three day weekend and we were determined to use it. A while ago, I […]

It’s been forever since I’ve been out on my bike, partly due to being overly busy, and partly just waiting for the temperatures to cool down. I was actually a little nervous as I got ready to ride up my favorite hill – a nice little 1,000 foot climb to my little spot in the […]

The Next Phase
Being a parent who enjoys the outdoors can be tricky. It seems as though what I’m able to do to get my nature and adventure fix comes in phases. Early on, when our little one was much younger, we could still put in some pretty decent mileage on backpacking trips. He is now older and […]
