“We can do anything we want to do if we stick to it long enough.”
– Helen Keller
I love the trill of starting something new. I research every possibility. I conducted endless conversations about what’s “right”. Then the moment comes!
I jump in feet first.
I can sustain my new and exciting project for a while. I can [...]

Where have I been? I have been super busy feeling sorry for myself. First I was upset that we left the trail, lost in the middle of our modern life. Then there was much t(d)rama over what was supposed to be a nice weekend with friends. Hell, then there was just [...]

We were snowed on last Monday….our tent froze last Tuesday… the big fat storm clouds rolled in on Thursday…. all this and our winter clothing was 2 weeks away.
We had checked the weather averages… but I guess it’s not an average year this year. It’s snowing in the high country as I write this.
We [...]

We leave in a few hours to rejoin the trail. It snowed last night in the high country, so it will be interesting. We have been able to refine our gear (again!) and also received more inspiration from Andy Skurka. We will hike for the next couple of weeks, then join our friends in South [...]

We were hiking in the Buffalo Creek Fire Zone, exhausted, and looking for a tent site. We finally find this place, in a wash, under a widowmaker - sigh - but we simply couldn’t go any father.
Low and behold, there is an entire, intact human skelton there. Some of it is scattered. [...]

It’s been hard… Ok really hard. Every day we are both confronted with our own demons. His sound like “What’s the point?” and mine sound like “no matter how hard I try, I am just not going to be able to do this”. But here we are 80 miles later.
We aren’t going [...]

To the tune of Green Acres theme song:
He says:
“Colorado Trail is the place for me,
Mountain Living is the life for me,
Backpacking from Denver to Durango!
Keep Denver just give me that mountianside.”
I say:
“At home is where I’d rather stay,
I do not think I can live that way,
I just enjoy an indie band show,
Darling I love you [...]

It’s going to happen in a few days. I am going to walk away from the Open Grove for the first time in 5 years. I haven’t left it alone for more than a few days since it’s inception in January 2001.
I am walking from one end of Colorado to the other on the Colorado [...]
