  • Bogus Basin Tour

    We’ve sworn off lift tickets, and instead invested in alpine touring gear for Ann so she can accompany me when I go out on the split board. Yesterday we tried to find a practice hill in the foothills of the Owyhee mountains, but higher temperatures and winds had removed the snow already! So today we…

  • Boise River Walk

    Downtown Boise has lovely trails that run along the Boise River. Even on a cold, icy day we see joggers, ducks, geese, wading fishermen, and a very busy little Downy Woodpecker. Also filed at EveryTrail.

  • Merry Christmas

    We’re having a peaceful day and wish the same to you.

  • Fever Driving

    Our drive keeps handing us surprises. We go through Moab, but it isn’t our destination. This feels wrong again every few minutes at least until we reach I-70. When we reach Idaho, a rest stop attendant tells us a storm is coming, and there have already been several accidents ahead. We consider stopping for the…

  • Santa Fe to Delores River Drive

    Usually I don’t write much about all the driving we do, but some of it turns out to be a great part of a trip. This drive is packed full of goodies, some of which I’ve never seen. Starting at the southern tip of the Jemez mountains with White Mesa, you get a smorgasbord of…

  • WordPress Geo Mashup Release 1.1.3

    This is a minor release that includes a fix for Issue 153, where the info window would open automatically regardless of the global map option setting. You should only need to download and install this release if you are experiencing this problem.

  • Santa Fe Ski Basin Powder Run

    Big fat flakes keep floating down and piling up. Santa Fe doesn’t frequently get inches of snow at once in town, and the roads can stay bad when it happens. Yesterday we stayed holed up in the house, but we can’t stay couped up today. Ann decides to venture to the office, and I’ve been…

  • Movie: The Women (1939)

    Marriage conquers all in a flock of sharp-tongued, (dependently) wealthy New York women. No men at all in the movie. Interesting just trying to differentiate the values that it intentionally pokes fun at versus the stereotypes it embodies that seem blatant now.

  • Experimental Atalaya Outing

    Today’s outing is part of two experiments. One is to find good outings that are fully human powered – gasless from the doorstep. Back in 2001 I used to see how far into the Front Range I could get from my apartment in Highlands Ranch in a day on my mountain bike. Recently a Dirtbag…

  • Montane Park Walk

    A wind tears through Idaho Springs as if the Sasquatch and Paul Bunyun decided to have a contest to see who could blow the town down the mountain first. We’ve procured a lonely parking spot at the Indian Hot Springs Resort. We seem to be the only ones willing to pay to endure the wind…
