I had seen him only a couple times since moving back from Alaska, our interactions were brief. He’s been living outside for many years now and sleeps near parks and rivers, beside buildings, beneath bridges, or at campgrounds when possible. I had been looking to share quality time, but during our previous meetings we knew… Continue reading
Mr Slacklife, Andy Lewis
When I showed up to visit friends at the beach last week, I was a bit surprised. Everyone was sitting in the usual hangout circle, but there was someone different in the mix.

By that time, I stopped thinking about how far I would need to drive to get back to California,… Continue reading

This beautiful town is a major tourist hub for people visiting Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. It is also surrounded by several popular ski resorts. After stopping for dinner, we headed over to Gros Ventre… Continue reading
Cliff Jumping at Sand Hollow
Cliff jumping had been high on my to-do list this summer. When I was planning my summer road trip, I made sure to look for good spots along the way. My first destination was Zion National Park in Utah. I was curious to see if there were any good spots in within the park. I… Continue reading

It’s was a lot more work to start it up than I had anticipated, but I’m sure it will be worth the effort. I love… Continue reading
