A Hidden Trail in the Ozarks
Talk about “off the beaten trail”….. this trail took a great deal of patience and trust in Erik’s navigation skills as it was nearly impossible to find the trail head off a small and remote highway in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains. We used the All Trails app to find this place and noticed that is …
Ready for Spring
I don’t have much to say this morning other than I have had enough of rain and cold weather. We certainly needed the rain as it has been very dry but 7 days straight with nearly 10 inches? That’s a bit much. So I decided to post some pictures from last Spring on our front …
Stan’s Place
There’s truly nothing like my friend Stan or the amazing place he calls home. Stan, as you might have gathered by looking at this photo, is a one of a kind individual who beats to a different drum and seems to care less about what others would think of him or his colorful life. Stan …
Somewhere in Colorado
Sadly I can’t remember where we took this awesome photo but I’m pretty sure it was on the “Million Dollar Highway” between Durango and Ouray, Colorado. I could certainly write a post about that short journey as my head was spinning from the cork screw road and sheer cliffs. If I’m wrong on where these …
Sansom Park at Lake Worth, Texas
I tried out a new trail and visited Sansom Park at Lake Worth, Texas and found a hidden gem that I have added to my rotation. The trail I ran was just south of the dam for the lake and follows along the south fork of the Trinity River. It is pretty good for hiking but …
4-Wheeling in Silverton Colorado

Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, Utah
Ok, shoot me. I got a little carried away with the color editing on this photo. Kind of looks like the ground is covered in some type of lemon sauce. If possible, put that aside as this part of Northeast Utah was pretty cool and a wonderful place to camp and see an amazing night sky. …
Hoover Dam, Nevada/Arizona Border
Ansel Adams was able to climb down the cliff side to get his photo above but it is not too dissimilar to the one we snapped from the road bridge spanning the river. (Photo attributed to: Ansel Adams – U.S. National Archives and Records Administration) After making a wrong turn….. literally… Meredith and I decided …
Mt. Evans Scenic Byway, Colorado
Mt. Evans is located about 60 miles west of Denver, Colorado and at nearly 14,300 feet is the highest paved road in North America. The Mount Evans Byway starts at nearby Echo Lake and climbs 14 miles to the summit. An excellent stop along the way is at the Walter Pesman Alpine Garden, where you can …
