So, tonight’s run was almost a DNF (Did Not Finish) thanks to a post-work chocolate binge and some serious couch potato vibes. But hey, even heroes have cheat days, right? After dozing off for what felt like an eternity, I finally dragged myself out the door, determined to get some blood pumping. Originally, Mount Sentinel…

Well, it is Friday, and this weekend I start getting into shape for the upcoming summer season of fun in the sun on a bike. I have selected Lolo Pass because of its vicinity (just up the road … have you checked the gas prices lately?) and it has a pass. I have taken the…

The recovery of last weekend’s climb up Lolo peak is complete, and now I am preparing for my road cycling months here in Montana. April and May, I usually hit the road to get into shape and to get into a better shape. Being poor, all I could get to prepare my road bike was…

Man, I just crawled back from Lolo Peak last night, rolled in around 10:30 like a deflated beach ball. It was an epic battle royale with Mother Nature – 5,000 feet of elevation gain, snowdrifts deeper than a Kardashian’s weave, rocks more treacherous than a politician’s promise, and wind that could rip the shingles off…

Marcy’s spirit of relishing every adventure truly sets her apart. She doesn’t merely cross the stream; she leaps energetically into its deepest parts and joyously bounces through. The sheer amount of energy this little dog exhibits is unmatched by any human. Outdoors, she’s an absolute whirlwind of excitement. This morning, running late for work gave…

Hey there, folks! Bill here, and let’s dive right into this Monday, which is, well, feeling like a classic Monday. It’s all coming back to me, especially last Friday. You see, I’m still a software guy at heart, and on that fateful Friday, I was supposed to create a flow chart. Sounds simple, right? Well,…

Good morning world! It looks like the land lords cut down our shrubs … now everyone walking down the street can peek into my apartment. We are getting snow storms as I speak but it melts within an hour. The story on Lolo Peak is a diffrent story I am sure, but first how did…

Just slapped some fresh pics up on the ‘gram. So, last Thursday, I needed a bit more oomph than the usual pep talk to lace up for a jog. Armed to the teeth with my camera and a smidgen of hope that it might actually see some action (aside from the usual dust gathering), I…

Ah, a groggy hello to the world from my little corner of it. The thermometer’s flirting with 27 degrees this fine morning, and here I am, for the umpteenth time, staring at the ceiling at 4 AM, wondering if sheep have a union to ensure they’re counted in proper working conditions. Here’s to sharing new…

Howdy, adventure seekers! Bill here, and I’ve got a little tale from our recent outdoor escapades. Last week, Marcy and I set out to conquer Carleton Ridge from Mormon Peak, but after a solid 6 miles and a “snow too deep” roadblock, we had to make the tough call to turn around. That adventure turned…

Last night was rough; I was sick, but Excedrin helped this morning. Today’s plan? A hike up Mormon Peak and North Ridge of Lolo Peak with Marcy. We’re starting at 9 AM. Check out the map for more details: See map for details. The Week in Review: Caught up with family last week. Had lunch…

Last Saturday my friend Alden and I took a snow shoe up the East Ridge of Lolo Peak. We drove up the access road from the East until the snow was to deep. Apparently we hiked across Tom McClay’s property because a mile or so from the State Forest Boundary his thugs drove up on…

My friend Alden Wright and I have teamed up this weekend to snowshoe up a East ridge of Lolo Peak. Today is a sunny day and should prove to be perfect for Peak pictures. We will not attempt the entire summit because the journey is too long since we can not get to the trailhead…

A hike a day has continued and now I am on my 22nd day if I go today, and why wouldn’t I. Today I am planning a climb up McLeod Peak today. Once again I am getting out late but I am struggling. I am exhausted for some reason, although the excitement of a new…
