Good day, and welcome to my annual trip back home to Colorado. On this trip, I had hoped to get back to a couple of spots that I visited during my college days, before I had a digital camera. But before that, I had hoped … Continue reading Colorado 2024 Trip Report (Day 1)
If you’re looking for scenery in Colorado, generally speaking, you want to be west of Interstate 25. There are two or three exceptions, one of which we will visit today. Strap on your headgear, folks! We’re going back to August of 2008, to Castlewood Canyon … Continue reading Castlewood Canyon State Park (August 2008)
Today’s installment of ThrowBack Thursday will be quite short, as I am about to be abducted by aliens. On the last day of May 2008, I got together with a couple of people and a couple of dogs, and we made an attempt to hike … Continue reading Pierson Park (May 2008)
Today’s ThrowBack Thursday is a brief one, as I’m still trying to get caught up after my trip to Michigan, while simultaneously preparing for my next trip (back to Colorado). So, go ahead and climb into the Way-The-Hell-Back Machine as I fill ‘er up with … Continue reading Walker Ranch (April 2008)

With the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in the rearview mirror, I prepared to put the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in the frontview mirror. But before I could do that (or even figure out how to do that), I had a state park to visit. … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (Day 9)
Day 6: This was to be a long day on the road. I had read in at least two places that state highway 22 is an excellent scenic route along the shore of Lake Michigan. So, I had plotted a route to the “starting” point … Continue reading Michigan 2024 Trip Report (Days 6 through 8)
