We’re only a hundred miles or so from the “path of total darkness” during the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse, so we got a pretty good look at it. It got darker and cooler and the skies were clear so we got a good view with our eclipse glasses. It was a pretty big event, … Read more
We spent another weekend off in the woods mountain biking. We are getting in as much mountain bike riding in as possible because we are probably going to spend most of our time salmon fishing starting in a few days. The days are also getting shorter and it’s starting to get cool at night, so … Read more

As I mentioned yesterday, after a long time away from the off road cycling, we spent a few days deep in the mountains of southwest Washington state getting back to the mountain bike basics. Just the bike, a cooler full of beer and food and enough water to last a few days in the more … Read more
We spent a long, somewhat hot extended weekend mountain biking excellent singletrack trails and forest service roads in southwest Washington. This area is well off the beaten path and it was pure enjoyment to be out on the trail without crowds of people. We’re back in civilization stocking up on supplies before we head back … Read more
