Summer 2021 trip in Virginia's Jefferson National Forest to celebrate Roger's MEGA B-Day. It only took 6 months to get this together, but cheers to my favorite peasant!!! And yes the horses are wild and the ghost cow is real - even tried to run my favorite Brit over while sleeping in his tent. No cow tipping on this hike, but Roger did ask for some creamer for his morning coffee... … [Read more...]

Frosty Weasel Mountain
It's been super cold this week in late September as the winds shift to the North. We have lots of wind and rain in Dupuis Bay and spend four days working on a leaky roof.

So we land on a small beach south of Sunset Island and hike to newly christened "Frosty Weasel Mountain" - a new and worthy site for a booty call … [Read more...]
Rainbows And Sunsets
It's cold, it's late, and it's raining - and we have a rainbow! The Weasel and I take an evening boat ride to try our luck fishing and we are getting shut down. But we have a great sunset and I am distracted enough that I tangle up his line. At least we got out after a cold, wet, windy, and rainy day at Camp Fugarwi. … [Read more...]

From this day forward, we get heavy wind and rain most of the week. Yet still good to be back... … [Read more...]
