Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
“As we get to the top of the mountain there’s a view Take a load off and crack a few mountain brews” Mountain Brews To pick up from where I left off with yesterday’s post, we did indeed wake up at 5:30 this morning. We had breakfast and semi packed up, since we had decided […]
Read More Mountain BrewsThis morning started with sleeping in, coffee outside on the courtyard, showers, and no rush. Tomorrow morning when I am forced to get out of this little orange tent all of that will be different. I wouldn’t be surprised if a bear tries to kill me or I actually die from waking up at 5:30. […]
Read More Camping is Lame and I want fettuccine alfredoIf you showed me a picture of the mountains surrounding us, the alpine lake we’re camping just above, the towering pines, and the mule deer who just stopped by our campsite for its dinner, I would never have predicted it was set in New Mexico. The morning started lazy, something I’m getting used to. We […]
Read More Day 36: Taos and Williams LakeToday started very relaxing we slept in and had no rush to get out of the hotel room because we backpacked today and we we had two miles with 1000 feet of elevation.

Read More Day 35I’m so content now. I had the first green chile stew of the trip, over a glass on sangria, on the patio of the restaurant as the sun set. We laughed a lot at dinner as Ellie laid out her future plans of building a shack at COhome, eating our food, and never officially moving […]
Read More Day 35: Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu“Summer skies, stars are falling All along the injured coast” Paul Simon Today wasn’t quite what we expected, but it ended nearly perfectly so I have no complaints. We got up early in Cortez and got on the road quickly. We were all a little sad that the HIE seems to be going through a […]
Read More The CoastYesterday we had a pretty relaxing morning and headed to Dolores and walked around a little bit. We stopped at the DinoStore and we all got a shirt. I got a oversized flannel and one issue with this trip is buying clothes because my bag is actually exploding with a surplus of unnecessary clothes. It […]
Read More Mancos and Mesa VerdeThe morning started how every morning should, a hearty breakfast and strong coffee from Absolute Bakery and Cafe. Throw in great company and you’ll hardly remember the poor quality of camping sleep from the night before. With satisfied stomachs the four of us and Ranger Mike, headed to Mesa Verde. Zak picked a hike he’s […]
