The man is keeping me down

Since returning to Colorado, I’ve done little other than hang out with my son. There was still too much snow leftover to do many outdoor activities the first few days. Once it did begin to melt off I somehow injured my back at the gym. Heck, I thought I was...

I am a Moose 7

I am a Moose

All the time I lived here it was only a block away from the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge. I had passed by it a half-million times and always wondered… so today I walked through the doors, simply to ask if I could camp in their parking lot for...

My precious

My excitement has been building up over the last few weeks… knowing I get to hang out with my son, my cat, and my precious –  my 1978 Datsun 280z. I checked in on the car the first day I got back into Colorado, making sure it started up… success!...

Back in Colorado 0

Back in Colorado

I arrived back in Colorado last night, just before 8pm by way if Interstate 70 from Utah. It was not my original plan, to drive into the state yesterday, but as I am getting accustomed too, my plans are fluid… constantly changing and in motion. I am learning to roll...

Down with the sickness 0

Down with the sickness

Normally, due to my lifestyle living out of populated areas, I go years between illnesses. Ironic that after my first time visiting a public watering hole in months, I wake up the next morning with my sinuses (is that the correct spelling?) all clogged up and a deeper-than-normal voice. I...

Moab Brands Focus Mountain Biking

In preparation of Conor coming out to Moab next week, I have been scouting out some of the mountain biking and hiking trails to keep the young mind occupied while he is with me for the week. Today I visited and sampled the Brands Focus area just north of Moab...

Lazy Lizard Hostel

Now, I have never used the services of a Hostel before, and if it were not for Walter the German hitchhiker asking me to drop him off here back in 2011, I’d have never thought about a Hostel as an option. Sure you can rent a cabin, or a room,...

Monument Valley and a Mexican Hat 0

Monument Valley and a Mexican Hat

I was forced to make a long drive through the Navajo Nation all in one stint due my required daily Internet connection for work. I knew that I would have none through the Navajo Nation and the first 60-70 miles of South-Eastern Utah. It would not be until near Blanding,...
