Don’t forget a loaf of hot crusty homemade bread on the side

I’m most familiar with Dusty. I’ve seen some camps left behind all trashy. Sage brush burned up for campfires. No doubt people are pigs and there’s only so much the land can absorb. I can see how they may want to contain that. Much of the appeal of the place is the wide open informal camping...

This is a bummer to read. These lakes are always a fun early-season destination. Packing in (and carrying water) for a couple nights nestled in amongst the sagebrush is always an enjoyable experience. Sadly not everyone leaves it better than they found it. Concerns over sanitation, safety...

We were touring Bonneville Dam way back when and the nice lady leading the tour was mentioning nearby landmarks worth seeing. One such landmark was Rooster Rock. She chuckled “ They changed the name on that one, used to be called Cock Rock”. I quipped “ That doesn’t bode well for Vulva Valley...

Watching me grill…better count the shrimp skewers.

There’s different ways to approach it, but I like to pack it all in.

One of my favorite times of year to be in the high country. The mood is changing, the air is brisk, and the trails are often yours alone. I managed an entire lap around the lake with nary a nibble, rarely is that a good omen. Patience was the ticket though and things picked up soon after. Cary...

Mini chocolate donuts have been fueling fishing adventures for decades baby.

All well and good, but also consider the pics you post. They can be fed to AI and locations identified. If anyone else posted a similar pic and the approx location identified then your honey hole has been outed.

I’m no fungus expert nor do I play one on tv, but my $ is on some variety of “hedgehog” mushroom.

Wake up call at 3:30am for this one. Quick check of the AQI…I’m looking for anything less than Coal Miner’s Lung…and it’s 70! Yes, let’s roll. In the car I powered up on coffee and mini chocolate donuts and before I knew it the trailhead was emerging from the darkness. Boots on the trail at...

Pucci is a rescue mutt. I wonder what genes are in her that make her so gonzo around water. Surf fishing has been the only opportunity I’ve had to fish when she’s with me and she’s not romping in the water. Even then she doesn’t make it easy. It’s a good problem to have I suppose, the trade off...

Sounds like a keeper…your wife that is. 😉 Good job working the net!

Great book by Bob Hierman - Snohomish My Beloved Country. I found a signed copy in a used bookstore and pounced on it. Reading it makes one yearn for a time machine.

I have Guccis for regular use, love em, but I picked up some basic (non zipper) Paramounts for high country tubing. The Paramounts are light and pack down small, perfect for what I need. So far they haven’t let me down. I don’t know that I’d use them as hard as I do the Guccis though. I don’t...
