334 & Counting

Well... The time had to come.

Will I accept that March is over? Yes.

Will I miss the hell out of it? You bet.

Was it glorious? Take a look for yourself.


The pride.


The pencil.


The field goal.


The...finale.

Here's to you March, here's to you.

In Search Of Winter

Coming back from the Austral Summer, Riley and I have been looking for our missed winter experience in every opportunity we come across.

This past weekend was our most valiant, and might I add successful, effort. We went winter camping! Although there was much skepticism from our NOLS friends, who inquired why anyone would do that if they were not receiving a check at the end of it, we went out for two nights and had a blast.

This has been a tradition for Riley and his family friends, the Wellers', since the early 2000's when they invited him out the first time. We were lucky enough to add a few more to the group this year, including myself, my father, Riley's father (2nd time out), some college/Lander friends of Riley and Jordie's, Tatonka, and visits on Saturday from Diane and Dawna Hopeman. What fun!

A visual representation of the three days...

About half of the time it was dark.


Most of the time it snowed.


All of the time it was fun!
