  • Another Morning Walk

  • Coming Soon …

  • Namesake

    My favorite lake loop in all the west is the one around Swan Lake. Sometimes it is hard for me to put a figure on what I like. I knew this place was special when I ran into it. I was out ahead of snuggles and flowing the momentum trail when I stopped dead in…

  • It’s Over

    Well, that’s it. It was good while it lasted. I need to wipe up some tears. Hold on … Ok, where was I? This fall has been great. And it appeared we were getting along even better than ever. But eventually we saw the signs of change. I kept putting it into the back of…

  • A Moment

  • Torn

    Have you ever been torn? It must have been gross. I mean, to be torn apart. Yuk! I can not exactly say I have been physically torn and am ashamed of the stupid joke I just made. What I mean is emotionally torn. Take something beautiful. As beautiful as it seems, there is a downside.…

  • Yellowstone Moment

  • Morning Walk

  • Setup

  • Escaped

    It took a while. Like … 3 hours sitting in a traffic jam while still stuck in “The Park”. Then a midnight emergency camping spot in Island Park. But the next day it finally happened. We grabbed our spot in the parking lot and immediately headed out for a ride. Inst life grand?

  • Gardiner News

  • Disgruntled

    I was disgruntled when she came home. I stayed instead of going for a ride and fixed supper. While we were eating supper. I disclosed that I felt angry. I didn’t get to my bike ride today. She recommended that we go riding together. And she recommended that she could get me into the park…

  • Elk Encore

    “And another thing. Stupid humans, they are killing me.” “Oh, my poop? IT was good thanks.”

  • Elk Issues

    An elk bugles … I wonder what he is communicating. “Mr Elk here. Here’s a little ramble about … um … I guess the smoke in the air. There’s actually two rambles. Okay, I’m going to have to move back my morning walk because I don’t see the sun come up anymore. Another part of…

  • Mr. Bears Projects

    Mr. Bear, what are you doing? Oh yeah, that reality show where this guy gets people unstuck. I like that show too. But I’m working, so why don’t you beat make yourself useful? Oh no mr. bear, what the hell? You can’t install new LED headlights. That’s my job. Oh boy, taking care of a…

  • Wildfire …

    Smoky reflections. What were you doing on this day in the past? 2018 found me reflecting, again, in Yellowstone. In 2016, we were doing big adventures to celebrate our anniversary. 2015 we seemed to biting off something big. 2010 living in Missoula … gosh, I miss Missoula. Now I wonder. IS life getting better. Or…

  • Buttons Chronicles

    Nothing new with Buttons and this weekend confirming that we can travel with a third bike, although very pain-in-the-ass. The wildfire smoke is creeping into our area so van camping is kind of blah situation. Well, see you at the next camp.

  • Just Don’t Know

    It’s so easy to get out and ride in Gardiner, Montana. I am not saying it is a nice place to live. Lots of eccentric folks that would rather shoot you then talk. My point is coming from my perspective now that I have been back in Livingston for two days. I haven’t ridden since…
