    Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 Task #1 – Lewis Channel Hike (Failure) The Lewis Channel Hike runs beside Lewis Lake.

  • Devil’s Den Hiking Trail

    West Fork, AR, November 2024 One of the first things you will notice (after trees), is the rock formations.

  • Yellowstone National Park Day 8

    Yellowstone National Park, May 2025 Today we tried to get out a little earlier, but we were unsuccessful. This was mostly because I couldn’t find my keys, and it took a while to locate them. Once we did get out, our first stop was to hike Storm Point. My main purpose was to see the…

  • Greenway St. Vrain Trail

    Longmont, CO, April 2025 The St. Vrain river passes through Longmont, CO, and there is a bike trail that runs along part of the river (and tributaries). When completed, the trail should run from Greenway to St. Vrain State Park, but it stops about 3 miles short. From reading the sign, we learned that the…
