I’m A Fucking Genius
I’m stuck in the loop of “I’m a fucking genius!” followed by “This God damned thing!”. I guess using the Scrambler as a year-round daily commuter and camping mule is taking its toll. I got the rear brakes back together (I’m a fucking genius!), but they are...
Lost Creek Longhouse Chapter 6: Striking Camp
(Click here for Chapter 5) With only two days left in camp, the weather started to clear. As the sun crested the tree line Sunday morning, the meadow began to steam and the canvas started to dry. ...

(Click Here for Chapter 4) I had expected to have most of Friday morning to myself, but my cousin, Giovanna and her husband, Chase turned up right after breakfast. They must have gotten up at the...
Trying Out the Halti Laavu Pro
I bought a new tent! As Amy is quick to point out, the last thing I need is another tent. But I wanted it. I have been intrigued by Baker and Whelan tents for years. Basically, half of a small wall tent, they are designed for expedition camping. Open down the length,...
Lost Creek Longhouse Chapter 4: Camp to Eat, Eat to Camp

Good Morning
1/7/26 6:30 38F (3.3C) Clear, mostly, with a cool, inconstant breeze. The moon, three quarters and waning, is resting atop the oaks. Stars are shining in a rich, blue sky. A pair of ducks just landed in the pond. Swooping silently in tandem they banked and...
Good Morning
1/6/26 6:45 32F (0C) The moon, waning gibbous, shines down through the freezing fog onto turf and leaves frosted with ice. A slight breeze flutters the streamers on the tips of the lodge poles . Yesterday, Walter was so clean and fluffy, but early this...
Good Morning
1/5/26 6:30 34F (1.1C) Quiet, cold, and calm. Partially cloudy with a few stars showing. The waning moon, two days past full, shines through the bare oaks. A light freezing mist wafts down, coating everything with a thin layer of ice. Christmas break is...
