My partner came into the room with a winter trail map. I haven’t seen this thing in a long time. Not since the Buck Ridge Incident anyway. She unfolded it out and we went to the ground to check it out. After deciphering different trail types our creative juices started to flow. Wow, we have…

Leave it to mother nature to make the most out of any situation. During the winter in the mornings, you awake with a frozen nose and reluctantly leave bed to try to start the day. We know that mother nature gives us magnificent sunrises. Especially during the magic hour when the sun is about to peek out over the…

Holy shit, talk about a rut. Another bike ride in the neighborhood. Another round. I feel like one of those drunks sitting at the bar. Every day after work … another round. I am not addicted or trapped. Shit, things are great and we have the freedom to do what we want. Every day it…

We might as well take advantage of this place while we can. In a couple months we will be gone. I mean we won’t have a cross country ski area accross the street from us. Maybe we will though, never know where we’re going to end up in the Park. It’s right across the street…

A ride after work is all we need for now. With moving and downsizing in full swing a sudden snowstorm prompts an outing to experience it first hand. And what better place then around town since most intelligent humans stay indoors during a storm. Downsizing has gotten some momentum. We got rid of our futon/bed…

Winter outing is the goal. Getting out of the house and away from the media and just news in general. Isn’t everything so overwhelming? I can remember a time when all I did was bike and didn’t even know who was the president. Clueless. And maybe much better off. Oh, and a secondary goal of…

We have skis so why not go skiing? Is it not good to not get all caught up in one activity? So then we should take a break from biking and go skiing. And for that, we choose a nice little adventure in the Moser area.  In the summer we go mountain biking there so a nice…

A life lived to identify an existence. Deep, perhaps … like the snow. Probably just a bunch of silly nonsense dribbled out of a morning coffee induced brain dump. Still, I am stuck on it. “Whatever it is, it’s got to be funky”, a friend of ours will sometimes say. An elixir is what I…

We are still hoping that we get to live in the park this summer. Things are looking bleak since they tore down our transit hut from last year. Now we just hope something becomes available with WiFi so I can work from home. The backup plan is to get a cheap place in Gardiner. We…

One more sunrise ride. One more morning. One of the last days left in 2017. I will miss St George. Back to reality. Now I know. I run into the turtle fence. The Desert Turtle in danger. Just like me. The fence keeps them out of trouble. I need a fence. Maybe there is a…

I haven’t been outside in a while, biking only once only because I was told I needed to get outside. I am hating the winter and unmotivated to be in it since we came back from St George. I’m in a funk and need to crawl out from under this rock. Speaking of which I…
