Exploring the Wind Rivers
With no options for international travel, we decided to go back to the Wind Rivers. We’ve been up the Popo Agie before, but decided to do it again, but this time to explore some new lakes. We usually take a guide, but with Covid, there were no guides this year. Instead, Allen’s Diamond 4 Ranch…
Arrowhead Lake Revisited
Prior to last week, I’d been to Arrowhead Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park twice. Here is a link to my post several years ago. The first time I got lost and by the time I got to the lake I had no time to fish. The second time I brought my two sons. We…
Lawn and Crystal Lakes in RMNP
I took a chance to go to Big Crystal in the first week of July. With its elevation and how the lake is tucked against the cliffs, I worried that there would still be a lot of snow. But I wasn’t expecting all the ice. It put a bit of a damper on the fishing…

Lost Lake and Lake Husted

We’re hoping to have everything finalized and available on Audible by October 2020. I’ve been listening to Audible’s History of Bourbon, and the second chapter has some great medieval stories…
Tour of Rocky Mountain National Park – Fern Lake Trail
With travel options limited, I decided to do a different hike each week in RMNP. This week Tal and I took the Fern Lake trail, heading past Spruce and up to the Divide. As you can see, there is still lots of snow and it was a bit tricky, but well worth it. It’s usually…
Update on Audible Release of Gil
My narrator, Ray Kallai, just finished the recording and it is all submitted to Audible. It sounds like Audible is a bit behind because of everyone working from home, and we are hoping that they can finalize the audio book within the month. In the meantime, we wait and start rolling out our marketing plan.…
