Greetings, fellow thrill-seekers and nap enthusiasts! After two glorious days of recharging my adventurous batteries (read: napping like a hibernating grizzly), I’m feeling the pull of the wild once again. But let’s face it, that last attempt at conquering Gold Creek Peak wasn’t exactly a walk in the park (more like a crawl through a…

Boy am I sore. Read the reason from todays story on my web site. Well it is Monday and that means laundry and all that fun stuff. I m pretty slow at it today. I want to squeeze in some map and gear shopping also today. Other than that am looking forward to relaxing. The…

This morning I am feeling a little rough with and adventure yet to do today. I am really looking forward to today but maybe the weather will not agree. It is supposed to be thunder and strong storms. With such a long adventure today it is iffy. Yesterday I went hiking up some creek I…

I woke up this morning to find out that my dad is having a rough time with his last kemo treatment. I will call this morning to give support and it was last night that I realized how many people are affected by cancer here in America. I think it would surprise most people just…

What a night! All day yesterday I had this creeping headache and exhausted feeling come over me. Sundays ride really took its toll on me. I was up all night with a bad headache but this morning I feel like a new man. I want to get some new pics up this morning then it…

I’m writing from a shaded spot under a large Ponderosa pine on the Grand Menard Discovery Trail, near the nine mile ranger station. Today’s my chore day, but I had to take Marcy for a morning walk. It’s just too beautiful outside to stay in. Yesterday, I had an amazing ride. I biked up Miller…

Hopefully todays bike ride will have better results. Yesterday was cut short due to a bear run in…  I plan to use the mountain bike today to get as close to my final objective as possible then ditch it for the final accent. All details are unknown as I have searched the web high and…

Today’s adventure will take me to Grizzly Creek. It is supposed to be a remote getaway with hardly any chance of meeting up with other humans. The trail head is up rock creek 30 miles east of Missoula. I will be climbing up Grizzly Creek and will connect up with the Sapphire Mountain Range. There…

It is raining outside and yesterday I had a off day. My web site has benefited from this day inside. I was supposed to get my car tuned up and get in a couple hikes. I did not and I guess I was just worn out mentally and physically. I feel better today and I…

Good morning all. Last night I went with the Thursday Night Mountain Bike Group. We went on some old and new logging roads up Marshall Road and near the Marshall Ski Area. On the way down we hit some sweet single track. After the ride we hit a burger joint and celebrated our ride with…

Kicked off the morning with a hike at Blue Mountain, made my way to Blue Point—pretty stellar views. But, things took a turn when Marcy went full predator mode on a bird family. Mom and all the little ones, gone. Just like that. She darted into the thick brush before I could even blink. Looks…
