Double Rainbow (Dude!!)
Saw a shooting star last night, and this morning a little cottontail bunny ran past the door. Wendy and I went for a walking on the McLeod creek trail, a wonderful area with many spots to sit by the creek and relax, even a place to set your phone so you can listen to the…

Mirror Lake Byway
I woke up early and went sat out on the couch, and listen to owls calling back-and-forth. Took it easy this morning, I am at a point in my audiobook that I just want to keep listening to it, so I sat and listened while looking at the dramatic morning skies. Once I had a…

Hiking to Camp Cloud Rim
After breakfast I went for a hike that had views of the nearby reservoir, seems like the leaves are changing color even more in the two days I’ve been here. After lunch Wendy and I went for a hike to the local Girl Scout camp with her daughter Adie and Adie’s dog Remy. It was…

Sunrise, Hikes and Bikes
I woke up this morning to see the sky just starting to lighten, and realized I was going to be able to see the sunrise from my room. I totally spoiled myself by turning on the fireplace, sitting in the leather swivel chair, sipping an espresso and watching the world wake up. I could get…

Woke up to rain this morning, such a lovely sound and smell. Spent the morning reading and enjoying my coffee. The rain had stopped by lunch time so I went for a wander around town to check some of the murals. I sat outside at a lovely coffee shop and finished reading my book. After…

Yellowstone-Day 2
The next morning I got up, made coffee, packed up my campsite and went to the brink of the Lower Falls. It was a 600 foot drop in elevation and more than a dozen switchbacks down to the brink. Well worth the slog back up for the beautiful misty morning views. There was an older…

Yellowstone-Day 1
My trip to Yellowstone started with an early morning drive to Schwabacher’s Landing to watch the sunrise on the Tetons. It was a chilly morning, but there were a good amount of people bundled up to watch the Tetons turn pink as the sun hit them. It was also a full moon so that made…
