Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
“Won’t you meet me out tonight in Mancos” Stillhouse Junkies Apologies that it’s been so long since I’ve posted. We’ve had a whirlwind of a last few days. I’m not going to try to recap everything we’ve done in the past 3-4 days, but I will try to hit some highlights. Our good friends The […]
Read More (Mancos Kind of) Saturday Night“if I don’t die by Thursday I’ll be roarin’ Friday night” Jimmy Buffett Hello, Utah! We’re currently on our way to Moab after an eventful morning in the tri-city area. I was up with the birds at 4:30 this morning. In particular the bird that kept singing “tweet, tweet, tweet, tweetledeeteleedeetele. tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, […]
Read More My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink And I Don’t Love Jesus“I been hangin’ around this town on the corner I been bumming around this old town for way too long” Counting Crows This is going to sound a little odd, but bear with me. The highlight of today was going to the Mancos Post Office. The first delivery to CO Home (a ladder) came via […]
Read More Hanginaround“All day long they work so hard Til the sun’s comin’ down” Otis Redding Before I get into today’s update I want to backtrack a bit to mention how great our dinners have been the last few nights. I’ve always been a big beliver in having dinner together as a family whenever we possibly can. […]

Since we […]
Read More Surfin’ USA“How tall we stand. Just like a stone tree deep in this land.” Bill Miller We had another great day of hiking today! Our destination was Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. This was a new NPS site for us and I’m glad we dedicated a day to it. If you come here looking for fossils […]
Read More Stone TreeI will walk with my shadow flag Into your garden, garden, oh Pearl Jam It’s day 5 and we hit our first legit hike of the trip! I tried to plan things to ease us all into hiking a bit. There’s no good way to train for the type of hiking we do out here […]
Read More Garden“I’m looking for something to buy” Harry Styles We learned A LOT about trading today. According to our tour guide at Bent’s Old Fort there are three types of goods: goods that make life easier, goods that make you look or feel good, and entertainment. I think his system is BS, but for $3 per […]
Read More Fine Line“Colonel Chivington I curse your name today.” Caribou Mountain Collective One of my biggest concerns about today was finding an appropriate song to use as a title. With visits to Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site and the Amache Internment Camp it was destined to be a somber day. So, a big thanks to the […]
Read More Sand Creek MassacreIt’s twine time!(ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh ah) Alvin Cash Day 2. Twine Day. In order to properly prepare for the day we slept in all the way to 7:00, a roadtrip luxury. The bed was soooooo comfortable that when I woke up my first thought was to suggest to Molly that we buy it […]
