How To: Get A Date On Valentine’s Day
If It’s This Easy, Why Wouldn’t You? This article is intended for all those who are hyper-adventurous, a little crazy, and have no idea where they might be on any particular holiday. So much so that you may even forget that Valentine’s Day is even happening. Upon realizing what day it is you are subsequently […]
9 Days of SHT ‘Part Two’
‘Part Two’ (We’re picking up where we left off, our adventurer trekking not only through the northern wilderness but also his troubled past. Ok not that troubled but it’s a little more dramatic that way.) Four years ago the first .2 miles tuckered my weak body out, but today I had eight in before lunch. […]
9 Days of SHT ‘Part One’
A Harrowing Tale of Walking “So this is how it’s gonna be?!?” I thought to myself. I was no more than a few blocks from my starting point and had picked up what I thought was an auspicious find. That unopened bottle of water in the gutter would wet my whistle for a […]
Bike Tour – Part 4 “Wet Washington”
Alternate Titles “Where Have All The Fungi Gone” “Is This Big Cedar?” Remember that awesome mushroom book I bought on Day Two of the trip? Yeah, after the night of infinite terror, I awoke to the chilly pitter patter of a slow drip in the tent. We didn’t have a rainfly (to save weight, don’t judge) […]
Bike Tour – Part 3 “Washington In”
Alternate Titles “Washington is a Waste of Time” The two days that best described our time in Washington were the first day in, and the last day out. Advice given to us by a former Highway 101 bike rider suggested, rather, explicitly said, that the Washington section of the tour was a “waste of time.” […]
Bike Tour – Part 2
A Canadian Start Talking about big ideas is easy. I do that a lot. Getting started is the tough part. I began this bike tour slowly, attending an evening workshop on bike touring, researched gear, took a couple of longer bike rides. Once out in Seattle I hit up an REI to purchase a few […]
Bike Tour – Part One

How To See Minnesota In 30 Hours
A Minnesota Tourism Adventure How Checkpoints Changed My Life #onlyinmn Why would anyone even want to do that? Minnesota is huge, it is the 12th largest state. It is approximately 360 miles wide and 407 miles tall. In order to see it all in just over a day, you’re going to have to seriously haul. […]
Things You Can Do With Free Time
Deciding how to title this post was not easy. I may have toyed with the idea of labeling my friends crazy. It’s possible I tried to make you jealous, through bragging about my adventurous friends. In the end however, I would rather inspire than negate. So let these adventures push you over the edge, out of your […]
Mille Lacs Kathio
Sometimes I will have a free day sneak up on me and I just won’t know what to do with it. They are rare and usually a surprise via cancellation or change-of-plans. However, a few weeks ago, I found myself with a free day. One that I knew of ahead of time. Naturally I planned a mini-adventure. […]
