Autumn, Meet Winter
October 31, 2010
It seems hard to believe, after a week that included 70 degree days, that last weekend we backpacked in winter. It was a little hard to believe at the time really. (2 above photos of fall foliage in the mountains, earlier this month. How fast the season changes.) We started ...
Backpacking this Weekend
October 23, 2010
I'm writing this on Thursday night as my family is busy around me packing sleeping bags, a tent, cooking pots, cold weather clothing, water proof gear, and more stuff I don't have time to mention. Damien learned a few tricks on his backpacking journey out west last month and we ...

A Walking We Will Go
September 24, 2010
