Sudden Spring Adventures!

After visiting my Mom in Cultus Lake, I decided at the last minute to go for a little detour before I drove home. When I was a kid, we set up base camp at a creek up the mountain and would spend the day dirt biking, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, and enjoying the beautiful

Solo Camping Tips

Simplicity is best when camping solo. I want to spend my time enjoying the fire and the solitude, not prepping food and washing dishes. I also don’t need fancy meals, and usually try to pack my food from things I already have in my kitchen so that I’m not spending a bunch of money on

I grew up not far from here and we would set up our ”base” here for the day of dirt biking. We would build a fire, and when the boys went off to do the harder trails, I stayed by the fire with Mom, and did a lot of book reading on the same rock that I sat on to do some journaling this afternoon.
