This is the story of how we begin to remember . . . .

I am resurfacing after a whirlwind trip to Sweden and Denmark, finally. I left on April 11th and returned on the 19th to meet my friend Kurt to travel from Stockholm, south to Oland Island and onto Malmo. Once there we crossed the bridge into Denmark and spent a couple of days there, culminating in the concert that Paul Simon put on to tour his new album Seven Psalms. Once I got home, I promptly got sick with a cold and have been recovering ever since. I rarely get sick, but it does happen to us all and this was my time . . . over the next several days and weeks, I will post some photos and thoughts about the trip here. Enjoy.…

Florida – part 2

Posted on July 31, 2025

More images from the trip to Florida, earlier in July. We spent two days at the Kennedy Space Center. Truly an amazing place! Each time we went back into an exhibit, we discovered that there was more to see. The Vehicle Assembly Building (or VAB). A wonderful exhibit of the space shuttle Atlantis. We had dinner that evening in Port Canaveral at Rusty’s, sitting across from two Space X Falcon rockets. It rained, it was windy, the food was great and the view was really cool as well.

Florida – 2025

Posted on July 14, 2025

I recently spent 10 days in Florida as a graduation trip for Jonah’s high school graduation, doing the things that are important and of solid interest to Jonah. I managed to sneak in a few things for myself (wildlife, running, etc.), which were also good fun. It was a great trip overall. I missed topography. I enjoyed the wildlife, people, and food, and sometimes even the warmth. Home now and back to life in the northwest. This will be several posts as I go through the photos. First up is the final run of the Emerald City Trail Series, though. This was my “uniform,” if you will, but I did wear it consistently through this race series. Lightning bolt socks, a great lightweight and…

Addendum

Posted on September 14, 2024

A few extras from my trip to Wyoming. I took a lot of photos and videos and have had a tough time choosing, so here’s the final selection. A mud spring in Yellowstone. These are mesmerizing to watch (and smell!). One of the pools in the West Thumb Geyser Basin along the shore of Lake Yellowstone. This was a great hotel. The proprietor let us use her clothes line in her backyard to hang out and dry our wet tents from camping in Yellowstone. Of course, it’s rated number 1 on “iPad Visor.” I would expect no less! 🙂 Backcountry waterfalls in the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area. This wilderness was simply stunning and I am glad to have seen it. Seen in the hunting,…

Heading West – Sacajawea’s grave

Posted on September 13, 2024

From Thermopolis & Dubois, we were going to head up over the mountains to Jackson Hole, but the road was closed due to wildfire. So we headed south to Lander, Wyoming. Lander is a bit of a backpacker’s hub where a lot of hikers land for a bit between trails. It was a nice small western town where we had a nice meal and a rest before moving further west. The trip was a good one. Wyoming will always have a piece of my heart and I look forward to visiting again someday . . . . This is the memorial to Sacajawea, the woman who travelled with Lewis and Clark on their expedition to the ocean back in the early 1800s. Her gravesite…
