A nice little hiking trip in Purgatory Chasm... Wow, what a neat landscape! The place is in the middle of no where, but we've noticed the signs for some time and decided that hey, with a name like that, we have to check it out! I'm honestly surprised they let you climb in there. You have to clamber...
How has it been 14 years since the ladies of Mary Morse first met each other?? The Millsie ladies came to town for our (well, their) 10 year reunion, so there were official and unofficial events throughout the weekend. I took part in the unofficial stuff, which was way more fun anyway. Claire was...
Chris & I went for a walk at Milagra Ridge, which is conveniently located 10 minutes from us and overlooks the ocean, and is a nice little hike. There is quite a bit of history there, some of which is pretty evident (like the WWII bunkers and where the guns were) but no signage about what any of it...
Took the girls to radnor lake this weekend to enjoy the fall colors and natural cool temperatures. We did a hike of around 2.5 miles and took some pictures.
On one of our other days in Northern New Mexico, we left Santa Fe with our friends and traveled about an hour to Bandelier National Monument, which is just outside of the town of Los Alamos. Bandelier sits in the Frijoles Canyon and is the site of cliff dwellings from ancestral pueblo peoples that...
Hitomi (who's in Japan) called me out of the blue. It was good to talk to her. I hadn't talked to her since Friday. I was in the middle of work, unfortunately and had to keep the conversation short. Something threw me off about her phone call. For whatever reason, I didn't really want to talk. Isn't...
After two nights of steady eating (and more than a bottle of wine per person per evening) we knew we needed a bit of exercise. So on Monday morning – Turkey day – we rose early and, after a bite of breakfast, headed off to the Gatineau hills for a hike. We took the same route we discovered last...
We went backpacking on the 20 plus mile Pine Mountain Trail located in Georgia earlier this year. The trail is a great three day trip with very easy access for drop-off and pick-up staging. The trail was very rocky with most of us suffering from hurting feet. For the written report with photos,...
As long as I'm posting some out-dated pictures (where did the summer go?), here's some from Mako's and my camping trip to North Cascades National Park. Mountainwoman Mako Yay! Nature! Uh-oh...bad weather creeping in from the other side of the mountains- Happy Campers
OK, there are really out of date...Mako and I spent Father's Day Weekend with her folks in Denver. Are their mountains better than our mountains? No way! But you can drive all 14,000 feet up to the top of Mount Evans, which is a crazy idea but we did it anyway. I'm pretty sure that's the highest...
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~John Muir Yeah...the itch to go hiking got the better of me...
I made a video of my backpacking trip to Providence Canyon State Park located in Georgia. This was earlier in 2009 before the spring foliage. I made this with my Flip Ultra Camcorder. This is not the newer HD version and as you can see it doesn't have stabilization technology. For the money and size...
Today we went hiking as a family in Corrganville. It's a local hiking spot that is stunning and also holds a lot of history as one of the first Western Movie Ranches in the 1940's. Over 3,500 movies, commercials and TV shows were filled there. And then it was a amusement park in the 50's and 60's....
I've always been a city girl. Always. But after my second visit in Australia (Queensland's the BEST!), I've learned to appreciate nature. I never thought how getting one (yes! you heard me!) with nature can be breathtaking-- literally & emotionally, plus rewarding. After seeing this architecture on...
I meant to write this yesterday, but work has been so busy I didn’t even get to take a lunch hour! Anyway, if you read Facebook, you already know we went to Gatineau Park for a hike this past weekend, and you’ve seen the photos, but you don’t know… the rest of the story. A few weeks back we...
People here name it "CASTLE ROCK" because the rock shape looks like a castle. When you go on the top, the view is just magnificent. Of course, you should always took a photo for yourself. HAHAHHAHA (^_^) ( (Photos were shot by my Nokia XpressMusic cell phone.)
Yesterday, we went for a hike in Castle Rock. Over all, it is very nice hike. When we headed back to the parking lot, we found a snake take a walk there, too. This is my first time to see a snake for real. Fortunately, it is a non-poised snake. Still, this tiny creature gave me a little fright. If...

Larimer Sheriff's deputies make arrest after investigating Signal Mountain Trail attack Two women were attacked while hiking. The perp held a knife to the throat of one woman, but didn't plan on the other beating him with her walking stick. Hell ya. I can't help it, though - I like to hike alone...
Our Labor Day weekend was spent together, mostly just laying around the house. Our lives moves so fast that it was nice to have three days in a row at home together as a family. Saturday we slept in and went to the park in the evening, Sunday we went to an amazing church service and visited with...
