walk with me down the trail
For two years, we lived in a tent trailer while traveling the American West. To document the kind of adventure I’d never have again, I wrote our stories.
We’ve left the RV life for now, but these weekly vignettes still explore adventure’s ups and downs, our relationship with the outdoors, the wonderful disaster of parenting, and the struggle to catch lightening in the creative bottle.
A Potential Torpedo
With a thump, it occurred to me that I might not finish even though I was in crawling distance.

I discovered a few things on the trail, but the one that stood out the most was this: simple and easy are not the same.
Three Things for Three Days
These are the goals for the next three days of trail running fifty-ish miles in the Colorado Rockies.
What We Won’t Know
All of us went up that hard trail, saw the world from an alpine bowl that held marmots and pikas and watermelon snow. We didn’t ask each other’s stories nor did we tell our own.
