Fishing
Jim’s Woods – Fishing. Fishing was a big part of my childhood. Not because I needed to catch fish for food. Not even because I liked catching them to eat them at all, but just because it was fun. It was fun and it gave me a reason to get outside and interact with nature. Even when we lived in the city, I took every opportunity to go fishing that arose, as few as those opportunities were.

Textile Time Traveling on a Trip to Gettysburg
On the hunt, I follow up on a tip from a quilter I know. Gettysburg. Yes, Gettysburg is the spot. Of course. It all makes sense. What better place to find fabric designed for time travelers, cloth which replicates the material and patterns of the past?

Beautiful Waterfalls
Be it a fall of a fall or a funny joke between trees and shrubs, there is always something magical about the waterfalls.

The Most Beautiful Mountains In The World
1. The Matterhorn, Switzerland This is one of those iconic mountains with a recognizable profile which many people can spot right away. The Swiss Alps are incredible, but the Matterhorn is probably their most famous summit. The mountain’s sharp profile and chiseled ridges call to mind a stepped pyramid. Once you have seen a photograph of the Matterhorn, you will be able to spot it instantly, even from different angles. And if you ever see the Matterhorn in person, you will never forget it. Stormy and unpredictable weather makes this one of the most challenging peaks in the world to climb.

Colorado's Chicago Basin and 14er Mt Eolus
It’s been three years since my thru-hike of the Wonderland Trail. And since then, I’ve done less backpacking than I would have liked. A few two-nighters in the Wind River last summer pretty much sums it up. So, in preparation for 500 miles on the CO trail starting next month, I jumped in on a 40-mile trek in the San Juans that my friend, Sarah, was planning.

Wacky White Woman Eats Europe (Hopeful Part One).
I was in Paris, looking at art, minding my own business, when I realized we had been there 4 hours and I was VERY hungry. My resolve to not eat at the Louvre forgotten, I made my way to the café at the top floor (I think it was the top floor anyway. I was weak from hunger). I ordered us (my daughter and I) a bagel sandwich and a chocolate pyramid to share. I scoffed at the price as I paid, and mumbled something about highway robbery.

Time Travel Through the Lebanon Silver Mine
A shrill whistle pierces the air signaling the historic locomotive's departure from the halfway station of the railroad connecting Georgetown and Silver Plume in Colorado. As the chugging noise of the old engine slowly fades into the distance, the passengers who have disembarked cannot deny their rising sense of expectation for the promised adventure ahead. After all, the walking tour of the Lebanon Silver Mine features the exploration of 1,400 feet of well-preserved tunnels and the expert retelling of stories about the miners from the late 1800s; both of which lend to the feeling of traveling through time.

Dream Big, Fly High
Dreams are not usually things that come true. Before November of 2019, I did not think I was ever going to afford to take a flight lesson. Since I was little I always wanted to fly and I had always been fascinated by air craft. Flying a plain for real, seemed like something out of the realm of reasonable possibility for me. I became determined in sophomore year of high school to find a way to make my crazy dream come true.
