Like many of you, I wouldn’t mind putting 2020 behind me and forgetting that it ever happened. There might be one or two photos of me taken this year with a mask on as I would like little-to-no evidence of the circumstances that brought the world to its knees and put a near-complete stop to Read More…

Innox Pro GTX Lo Ws Hiking Shoes from LOWA
In some parts of the world, the only reason you can go outside right now is for groceries and to exercise. Here in Washington State, our parks and trails are starting to open up which means that, for the first time in months, I can now get out for a hike! Whoo hoo! But because Read More…

Win a Set of Eagle Creek Packing Cubes and Other Accessories!

Win a Sea to Summit Aeros Traveller Neck Pillow
I never, and I mean NEVER, take a flight without packing a neck pillow in my backpack. Over the years, I’ve been through a lot of these and have had to toss out a couple because they began leaking after the second or third time I used it. Ugh! But here’s one that I love Read More…

Win a pair of Tifosi Swank Sunglasses!
I do love me some purple. But that’s not the only reason I heart my Tifosi Swank sunglasses. I first saw these at the Running Event in Austin late last year.
