Bedrock & Paradox

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,…

Or: how did we get so much shit (in the last 25 months)? A: M and yard sales!

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. A year or so ago we had a rash of…

I also have a new salad to try, no photos as I already ate: -Mixed Greens-1 avocado, chunked-2-3 fist fulls of fresh cherries, pitted and sliced-gorgonzola cheese crumbles-shredded chicken-pinch of sea salt and pepper-evoo Mix and eat, a Bridgeport IPA works well.

A few things are still left on the list, that I haven’t yet done around here. One of them is summit Mount Union, at a hair less than 8k, it’s the highest point for 50+ miles around. A nice dirt road climb. Singlespeed city. Nice and pretty in the trees. Cool, too. The summit. Looking…

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…

Was beautiful. And now, 7 minutes later, it’s gone. I said the other day I’d ponder my options for future adventures, specifically next summer, so here is the short list as it stands today: -JMT fastpack-Hardrock 100 (if I get in!)-Great Divide Race/tour with Chad-hang around the Missoula area and enjoy summer, maybe do some…
