Advertisements The sun should wake up soon, but for now the man works in the darkness as he prepares to head up to the White Mountains for the Holiday weekend. Fishing gear and beer are carefully packed into the car, and the long drive begins. Nothing changes in Greer. It’s the reason the man findsContinue reading “Back to Greer, time at Lost Resorts”

Bon Secour wildlife refuge
Advertisements After a couple of days living a beach bum’s life on the sandy white shores around Gulf Shores, I thought I would explore more of the area. Bon Secour was only about 15-20 minutes away, so I take a quick drive to the wildlife refuge. In the month of December, I wasn’t too worriedContinue reading “Bon Secour wildlife refuge”
Bryce Canyon hiking after a winter snow storm (part 1)
Advertisements Most of my life thus far has been all about luck. Something that initially seemed to ruin a plan or situation turns out to have been just what needed to happen for something truly amazing to follow suit. That is probably the best way to explain it. Take how a rain storm that lastContinue reading “Bryce Canyon hiking after a winter snow storm (part 1)”
Fish Creek
Advertisements In the year of 2013 I flew to Phoenix to see Eddie Vedder. Before the concert I took a drive into the Sonoran desert without really knowing where I was going. This was my first time exploring the Fish Creek area, but I had only dipped my toe into all the spectacle and wonderContinue reading “Fish Creek”
The LaVerkin Trail
Advertisements For as many times that I’ve been to Zion National Park in Southern Utah, I had never entered the Kolob Canyons backside of the park. The lesser known entrance is quite far from the main entrance. On my annual drive to see family for Thanksgiving in 2024, I decided to try hiking from thisContinue reading “The LaVerkin Trail”

Over the years I’ve passed this place while going to other destinations, but on the first weekend of November decided to explore this area with CBug. We started from our stay at the Triangle T ranch,Continue reading “Dragoon”
Ryan Mountain
Advertisements It has now been eight consecutive years that I have been returning to Joshua Tree. The magic of the area has not diminished, only my energy has decreased. I now try to just do one hike in the Park, with Ryan Mountain being what I selected this time around. High clouds and cool FallContinue reading “Ryan Mountain”
Crown King
Advertisements Over twenty plus years have I driven past the exit sign for Crown King without giving it much thought, as there is nothing in the surrounding area but a vast desert with mountains in the distance. Recently I learned that there actually is an unincorporated community that lives in the mountains, if one isContinue reading “Crown King”
The Lava Tube Cave
Advertisements So I have come to the belief that one shouldn’t mix your workplace friends with your life outside of work. Doing so can cause an unhealthy life balance, at least for me. Sometimes I give in though, as was the case when some work peeps asked what I was doing for the weekend…. IContinue reading “The Lava Tube Cave”
Chiricahua National Monument
Advertisements 2010 was the last time I was in Chiricahua, and it wasn’t pleasant. I had major health issues, and I ran into my first snake on the trail, which only added to my anxiety and stress. I knew that my return this time around would be more meaningful, carefree and adventurous. At least IContinue reading “Chiricahua National Monument”
