Because it is there
But what is, it? I hiked Spruce last night, to drink a beer and look. OR makes a mean beer cozy. It was nice. I even “discovered” a new trail. Going down (or up) the north side of the loop, at the 1.5 miles to go (until the top) sign there’s a trail heading south,…

Ha!
I can’t help but find this amusing, having been exposed to so many “creative” names over the last two years. Highlights include: TwonniquaBrejoniqueChalaGeorschaRikkiCierra (and the many variations thereof)..and lots at can’t recall right now It’s worth noting that not all of the above were black.

Get psyched
Lots of fun stuff happening out there in the world recently, much of which has to do with the previous day’s discussion of future adventures. To whit: 1-This year’s AWC report appeared recently: After traveling separately along slightly different routes over the previous 4+ days, the two teams arrived at Circle Hot Springs at almost…

This morning
Was beautiful. And now, 7 minutes later, it’s gone.
