“I wore my boots out walkin’ Poured my heart out talkin’” Railroad Earth Yes, I missed another day of blogging yesterday, but this time I have a really good excuse. Yesterday was Molly and my 19th anniversary and I wanted to spend every minute I could with her. I can’t believe how lucky I am […]

“Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods? Are we in the clear yet?Are we in the clear yet?” Taylor Swift I had the best night’s sleep last night. Not really sure why since it was in a tent. Maybe it was the whiskey? Or just the night. I did […]

Listen to the Music

“Whoa oh whoa… Listen to the music” The Doobie Brothers Shame on me for missing another post yesterday. As Molly mentioned her hers, though, it was a late night. The last couple hours of the night were the perfect cap on a full day of fun. We started the day slowly once again. I crocheted […]

Creep

“Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You’re so fuckin’ special I wish I was special” Radiohead This has been a rough year for keeping up with the blog for all of us. We very deliberately call our summer travels a trip and not a vacation because some days it is just a lot of […]

Carefree Highway

“I guess it must be wanderlust or trying to get free” Gordon Lightfoot It’s been way too many days since I’ve written. Since I know the others have I’ll spare you the play-by-play and hit some highlights that I feel I can add my own insight into. Fischer Towers Hike – At the beginning of […]

A Little Bit of Everything

“‘Cause it’s a little bit of everything” Dawes We’d planned on doing a couple shorter hikes today, but as the rain settled in and Ellie pointed out that all of our muscles were still sore from the last few days we settled for just one. It was a good one though! We visited Morning Glory […]
