Everyday

Tim and I arrived back on the Mesa at 10 pm Sunday night.  It was chilly and we were tired.  There was no better greeting than to drive into camp and immediately be handed two hot steaming bowls of homemade clam chowder by Dan.  Tim and I had thought we wouldn’t need to eat again ever [...]

It was dark and cold at midnight. Fires dotted the camps. And down by the lake, 87 bikers prepared for a very long night.

Is that a Clown?

This was the start of the annual Fruita 18 Hour Bike Race. At 12:00 am Saturday morning, riders sprinted to their bikes and muscled [...]

After a week in the mountain biking mecca of Fruita, CO, Tim and I are feeling like we’re home.  We setup camp at the base of the Book Cliffs on Thursday and stayed inside for the first two days while a winter storm brushed past us. We felt lucky that we only had a few snow [...]

There’s nothing quite like waking up in the middle of the glowing red desert at sunrise. Saturday was a perfect day in Monument Valley and even though we were due in Moab early afternoon, we couldn’t resist taking a quick bike ride before we left. We rode down the 4 wheeled drive descent into the [...]

With those 3 B’s you can’t go wrong. Thursday we drove to the airport to pick up Jimmie Shell, Keri Schwab and Jimmy Hauschild, all in from Salt Lake to see some music and celebrate Tim’s 40th Birthday. We immediately went downtown to get everyone acclimated to the nuttiness that is Austin during SXSW.

We arrived to Austin 10 days ago and have only now taken a breathe.  Classes, speakers and nonstop music, parties and nightlife are the name of the game during SXSW.

We started our week at McKinney Falls State Park where we camped for 3 days prior to the start of the festivities.  [...]

On Monday, we had made our way up to the Florida Panhandle. Our destination was beautiful Grayton Beach, located 15 miles outside of Destin.  Famed for its laid back attitude and pristine white sand beaches, Grayton was just our style.  The town is a classic beach getaway, with charming little cottages and unique bars. Grayton has [...]

For Valentine’s Day, Tim and I celebrated amongst all the romance of the Florida Everglades.  Alligators, Spiders, Crocodiles and Mosquitos all add to this special day.

The Everglades

Well we wish they did…

This weekend, Florida is once again awash in an atypical cold front.  With lows in the 40′s and highs barely hitting 60, even [...]

Superbowl Comes to South Beach

Wednesday began the journey of 8 people from all corners of the East Coast to gather in Utah for the Fifth Annual 429 – a – palooza Ski/Superbowl Weekend.  Tim and I started our trek from Miami.  We took the day off from work and drove to South Beach to absorb [...]

After a night of covert camping beach side at Key West, Tim and I decided it was time to move on.  We’d enjoyed our time in Key West but with no place to stay, it was time to go.  We drove out of town without a plan until 20 miles up the road, we turned right [...]

We Started Driving US1 in Maine…We've finally came to the End of the Road

After a blog break, there is much to catch up on. We’ll start on Thursday with our arrival to Key West. We pulled into town early in the morning and Frank was making a horrible racket. Armstrong Ford had [...]

We’d been warned…but I think we may have caught it despite ourselves.  Tim and I seem to come down with a serious case of Keys Disease.   Folks say it’s a state of mind, and I’d have to agree, once on the Florida Keys, you just don’t want to leave.

Sunrise on the Keys

After a week of [...]

Finally the chill of winter is wearing off the Conch Republic.  Though still in the 50′s, the sun is out and the Northern wind has ceased.  Soon we hope to feel those famous warm temps!

Meanwhile Tim and I have stayed busy working and living on the Sunshine Key.  We are surrounded by Snow Birds who flock [...]
