Moose went in for his first ever grooming session on Saturday. It took an appointment over a week in advance and 5 hours at Petco to cut off all that hair. We may have chosen to cut his hair just a tad bit too short, but I figure “go short...
Since returning to home-state, I have done little other than catch up on some work and get myself settled back into my gym habit. However, Moose had grown acclimatize to being outside much of the day during our trip and is now having withdrawals. To remedy this crying-puppy-malady (very irritating!)...
I am writing this post early this month. I can do so because I am already back in Colorado and I have spent all that I am going too this month. Nothing really out of the ordinary in my finances this month. As is the norm, Gasoline and Groceries top...
I have arrived back in Colorado where I will be staying for 5-6 weeks. Timmy has Spring Break from school at the beginning of April, his Birthday in early May, and the end of his school year in the middle of May all are reasons to return even though the...
False Kiva is a human-made stone circle of unknown origin in a cave in a remote area of the Canyonlands National Park. No official trail leads out to the cave, but Conor did a bit of research and we found the start of the trail. A mile and a half,...
Another day in the Moab area and another hike… although a much smaller one then usual. The Upheaval Dome trail in the Canyonlands National Park is only about a mile round trip, but the view of this massive crater (about 5km across) is a huge pay-off for such a small...
Right down the [dirt] road where I am camped is a new mountain biking system. The KlonZo Mountain Biking Trails are ideal for beginner to intermediate mountain bikers (a category which I happen to fall into). Conor and I spent a few hours on the trails, riding the perimeter trail...
Conor and I wanted to do this last year but the weather failed us. This year the weather was so-so, but a full moon teased us into making the journey anyway. Ironically, it was the same moon that prevented us from getting the photo we really wanted; a 30-minute exposure...
Moab is the final destination of my winter adventures. Moab has become a March tradition as the weather is ideal for outdoor activities and the crowds are not as heavy (yet). Last year Conor and I spent a week here, attempting to kill me… legs first. This year I suspect...
