Wilderness First Responder 2
| April 4, 2017 | You’re back for more OW-some talk about the WFR course, huh? I’ve told you how much I miss this group of people, right? If I could have, I would have lived eternally in winter at Raquette Lake. Waking up every morning for breakfast at 7:30am wasn’t even a battle. I […]
Wilderness First Responder 1
| April 3, 2017 | I’ve started writing about this course a few times now, and every time I sit and think about these 9 days, I feel overwhelmed. So I’ve been a real jerk about it and haven’t devoted the time to actually put this course into words. I don’t really have a lot […]

Columbia River Gorge

Skokomish + Mt. Ellinor
| January 28, 2017 | Another September weekend of adventure brought me to Skokomish Valley for my friend’s surprise birthday camping party! We headed to Hip Camp for a weekend of riverside relaxation, eating BBQ chips, and telling stories by the campfire. Who could ask for more from a group of friends? I followed this up […]
