Weather Forecast: 50 MPH winds with Pea Size Hail moving South/Southeast at 10 MPH. Hmmm.
“Suppose it could be a little dangerous, but I have my camera to journal all the fun!”

WAIT FOR IT – WAIT FOR IT
My finger is on the button……..FLASH!!!

I have always wanted to take a photo of the night sky that actually did it justice. While on location in Chapell Hill, TX, I realized I was on top of a hill on a beautiful clear night. My eyes look up – the stars are vivid and amazing. I’ve always wanted to see and photograph Aurora Borealis, but felt I could not do so until I accomplished the stars alone……enjoy.

Backpacking with the Bostons

Never again will I hesitate taking the dogs camping with me. I always assumed they would slow me down, or somehow get in the way – I couldn’t have been more WRONG. I also feared they would run off at the first chance….nope. They kept the pace quick, pulled me up the hard inclines, and stayed close….to watch over and entertain. We have many miles to travel together! I feel like I am riding a two headed horse with them! Check this out Bostons in the Wilderness

City Dogs? I think not!

What kind of flowers are these?

Horses

I’ve never ridden a horse….an elephant, yes, but not a horse. That’s a great goal to put on my list.

Lake Somerville Trailway: Part II

After 2 information gathering excursions, I got my equipment together and completed the 13.5 mile trail – alone. Backpacking through nature alone is not as scary as it used to be my first few times. Now I can actually enjoy the silence and sleep through the noises nature makes. This was like hitting the “reset” button for me – I would prescribe it for anyone wanting to clear their mind…

Lake Somerville Trailway: Part I

I am so ready to get back into a rythm of spending true time with nature! Backpacking can be one of the most rewarding hobbies – it’s healthy, full of entertainment, spiritual and doesn’t really cost very much! That’s why I have started the Houston Backpacking Network! The inaugural trek is going to be at Lake Somerville Trailway – just a day hike of 13 miles with an overnight. A walk in the park!

Addicted to Adventure

After a year of Alaska, Europe, NYC, DC, Florida, and India I have grown a little tired. At this point, I am definitely ok with having no big trips on the books…..or am I? It’s great for business, actually being in town and always being available. But I am longing to plan my next journey, for me planning is a great part of the journey. I have the destination set, (the deciding of which can be a difficult task) and Maccu Pichu is that goal. I am not sure why I want to go – I just know I do. What has sealed the deal on my decision is watching one of my favorite shows (one my wife and I can actually enjoy together. Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations is in my top 5. His episode on Peru convinced me that I was on the right track….see below….now all I have to do is plan this thing!
