Cannnonn Ball!!!
This was perfect. Loved every darn second (OK maybe not every second like the ones when my tush was a frozen butt-sickle, or screaming in pain!!). My commitment to and fondness of the longer more meandering hikes just got it’s butt kicked to the curb. Cannon was a hike that left me on cloud 9…

Lincoln Woods – Franconia Falls – And the Chipmunk Massacre…
After last weeks beating on Cabot, my knees were screaming to stay below 4000 feet. Especially with all this fresh snow, a nice long flat-ish wander in the mountains was calling. I wanted somewhere familiar so I didn’t have to think about where I was…Peace out. Lincoln Woods it was!! As it was every time…

Mount Cabot – Snow-swimming in 4 foot snow. Let’s just make our own trail.
As I say every time, any day spent in the mountains is a good day! Or this time, even those that land you off trail, bushwhacking straight up the 4,170 foot mountain, post-holing every 3 steps over your waist, swimming in 4+foot tall snow. What would have normally (and should have) taken us just under…

Here goes… 5 months, 4Ks, fatbiking, camping, exploring, more swimming and lots of smiling!
“In life, we only regret the chances we never took”… I recently read a letter, I think that’s what it was of sorts, many of you probably read it, from a young, kind-hearted, and kick-ass lady in Australia. She was only 27, and being forced with a year to live, she shared a true life…

ATV’s, Mountains and Waterfalls! Fun records with Pops on this one…
This absolutely rocked. Ok, so picture this; ATV’ing through the mountains, literally – through the mountains!!! And hiking to waterfalls, swimming in waterfalls, and getting you and your dad (who is following you) pulled over for 59 in a 40 – thankful Dad has a serious sense of humor. And patience, lots of patience. Go do this. All…

Take in the Good.
Some days are just all goodness. They warm your heart and leave you feeling like all the good juju has decided to surround you for the day. They stand out even amongst some of the best days as just, well, special. It can be found anywhere; a day with old friends, a morning on the water,…

I am sorry. Kind of :-)
So a few things… First, I am just going to say it again… I am SO SORRY!!! For every time I tell someone about the adventure I am on and it’s a random Tuesday (again) while they’re at work. Or telling a friend about the last minute rappelling I just booked for the next AM flying solo.…

Kindness – Sprinkle the chit on everything :-)
Did you do your good today? Mom sent us a video the other night. A lot of the stuff she sends I don’t always pay attention to (love you Momma!!). What that means is I don’t look at any of it because its news stories about the crazies in the world, with her well intended concerned Momma Bear way, I know she’s…
Got any book recommendations?
