The Inn at Long Last in Chester, Vermont, is a mythical place. It no longer exists! But for one day in 1993 it gave us a magical experience.

The Inn at Long Last in Chester, Vermont, is a mythical place. It no longer exists! But for one day in 1993 it gave us a magical experience.
By 2016 I had done many Colorado hikes, but Rocky Mountain NP had been on my bucket list. In September I did the CDT Loop out of Grand Lake.
The 2012 South San Juan Wilderness was my 2nd Colorado backpacking trip. Lessons learned from the failed 2011 Zirkel hike made it a success.
A Zirkel Wilderness hike was my first Colorado backpacking trip in 2011, It was a learning experience on steroids, and didn’t go as planned.
My first Wind River Range hike was in 2018. Our plans changed twice due to snow and flooding. It was a great hike, with plenty of mosquitos.
Glacier 2018 was an emotional roller coaster of a trip. From the scariest night I’ve had to the best backcountry night ever at Bowman Lake.
In May 2018 I joined up with Bob and Travis to do my 3rd Appalachian Trail hike. We headed to Virginia to tackle the Virginia Triple Crown.
Thomas Knob Shelter in the Grayson Highlands on the AT is known for lots of mice. I did battle with one mouse all night during our stay there
My first visit to famous Miguel’s Pizza in the Red River Gorge was in 2012. I learned ordering pizza at Miguel’s is NOT an ‘odd’ experience.
In 2018 Bob joined me for my 2nd Appalachian Trail trip. We drove to Damascus, Virginia to do a 50-mile Grayson Highlands southbound hike.
The 2017 season ended with a Great Smoky Mountains National Park hike. Fires from 2016 would have a huge impact. Ultimately, I had to bail.
The Marmot Hype is an inexpensive, lightweight, warm, comfortable, and packable down jacket. It’s ideal for cold weather shoulder season use.
