  • Halverson Lakes Hike

    We’re in need of a good hike. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last week and have been off my feet, dragging Ann down with me. This hike turns out to be full of surprises and leaves us feeling tired but not wrecked. It begins at Celebration Park on the Snake River, a park full…

  • Rack ’em up

    We’re spending time with Ann’s parents in Nampa, Idaho. With all the stuff we can’t carry stored here, this is where we reconfigure our rig for the next foray into the world. When we eliminated our cargo trailer last fall we rarely missed it except for one thing: our bikes. Having that extra transportation and…

  • Typekit + Geo Mashup @ Have Camera Will Travel

    Photographer David Coleman uses Typekit for the fonts on his website, and naturally wants the fonts in his map info bubbles to match their surroundings. This was my first experience with typekit, but I with a little customiztion I’d say it suits Geo Mashup nicely.

  • Author Markers at Alex Asigno’s Travel Blog

    Alex hired me to help him color his travel map markers by author instead of category. A Geo Mashup customization did the trick, and an administration page for assigning colors to authors lets him do the same trick on other blogs. Happy travels, Alex!

  • Level 1 Avalanche Course

    I’ve been traveling in the winter backcountry for most of my life with no formal avalanche education. While most of my activities have been fairly low risk for avalanche exposure, and I’ve listened to some avalanche awareness presentations, I finally admit that those measures are not sufficient in the long term for my activities. It’s…

  • Shadow Mountain Tour

    I remember this long, gentle, snowy trail from a trip with my dad in 2007, and I’m happy to have the chance to share it with Ann. It’s situated right across the valley from the Grand Teton, providing almost ridiculous mountain views. Entering Teton National Forest Teton Trail View Tetons with cloud divide By the…

  • Cache Creek Walk

    We made it to Jackson! And at last we get outside a bit. This is just a few miles of gentle snow walking up Cache Creek creek road, but hopefully is a sign of our physical recovery after being sick for so long… Ann hiking in the snow

  • Fair Trade Towns USA

    This is one of my larger projects: a nation-wide site for communities that promote fair trade practices. My part of the project demanded a lot from WordPress and Geo Mashup – here are a few standouts: Many custom content types: towns, organizers, retailers, community organizations, and more. Front end forms for users to create content…

  • Back in Nampa

    We’re up north again with Ann’s parents, getting used to shorter days and colder temperatures! The plan is to winterize the camper and take our old Subaru to Jackson Hole at the end of the month.

  • 2010 – a year on the road

    Ann and I have lived in our 1999 Lance truckbed camper for the entire year. A few times we wondered what the square footage of this thing is, so I finally looked up the specs. Here’s our floorplan: Assuming we have the standard cabover option (it doesn’t seem to be marked), that gives us a…
