You have that song in your head now don’t you? If not that’s OK, you aren’t missing much… it just reminds me of my 20’s long long ago 😉 So today I didn’t feel so much like the hike I had planned. Instead I wanted to tackle a project that was inspired by another blogger.… Continue reading I’m the firestarter
I need a new name
Already? Yeah, you know I really didn’t love the whole “If I can do it”, thing when I started. But I felt like writing and that’s what popped into my head at the time. But I have to admit, it bugs me. It really really bugs me. You see, I’d intended to talk about some… Continue reading I need a new name
Backcountry vs. Car camping

I definitely felt as if I had a few great moments of badassery. Is that a word? It… Continue reading 1st solo trip – AKA Badass vs. Dumbass
Always an Adventure!
I tend to use this phrase a lot. Life is always more fun when you view everything as an adventure, a learning opportunity, or stepping stone, instead of an obstacle or hurdle. Yes, I’m that person: going into overtime at the end of the work day, the water heater springs a leak and the septic… Continue reading Always an Adventure!
In the beginning
So how does the story begin? It’s hard to say really. When I was young I was always outside. Typically found following my big brother around. I liked the outdoors. We had a huge forest behind our house and we always used to hop the fence to go swing on the vine over the big… Continue reading In the beginning
