Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
“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 […]
Read More Creep“Where the haircuts smile” The Housemartins Today was another day that we didn’t do much, and yet the family rated it a four mountain day. It started off slowly at the HIE Cortez.
