David’s Top 3 North Idaho + Western Montana Mountain Lakes
November 16, 2017
North Idaho is home to some of the most incredible lakes known to (mountain) mankind. Growing up in North Idaho, I’ve had the pleasure of exploring some of the many mountain lakes within near here. The only question we may face as backcountry enthusiasts is this: “what lake shall we venture to next?” To help … More David’s Top 3 North Idaho + Western Montana Mountain Lakes
Zipping with Timberline Adventures
October 4, 2017
My first experience ziplining scarred me—literally. When I was just a wee lad, our boy scout troop wrapped an old rope around a pine tree roughly 20 feet above the ground. As my fellow scouts pulled the rope tight, I held onto a stick I considered strong enough to hold my weight. I was wrong… … More Zipping with Timberline Adventures
Sailing and Stargazing in Seattle
August 31, 2017
The Seattle sun poked through the clouds overhead as a fresh gust of wind filled our main sail. Nick Cann, my friend and fellow seamen, manned the helm of his 35-foot sailboat as I sat back to take it all in. Lazy waves slapped our starboard side, rocking us just enough for me to feel … More Sailing and Stargazing in Seattle
Back to Banks Lake
August 9, 2017
Rock climbing in the summer can be brutal. The sun turns any rock face into a giant skillet, frying whoever decides to climb it. So to avoid the summer heat, our climbing crew chose to hit up Banks Lake in Washington. This place is a climber’s paradise. Located near the Grand Coulee Dam, Banks Lake … More Back to Banks Lake
Catching Onto a New Hobby
July 19, 2017
Through my years as an avid fisherman, I have caught some real record breakers. Perch the size of my pinky and smallmouth bass that can pass of as an actual fishing lure. If my wife and I survived off my fishing, we wouldn’t last long. A day, maybe. Regardless of my lack of skill and … More Catching Onto a New Hobby
A Little Lost at Stevens Peak
June 6, 2017
I may have a tattoo of a compass on my back, but I’m terrible with directions. I’m the type of guy that gives directions by describing the buildings on the way to the destination. I carry this lack of direction into the woods with me from time to time. Trisha, Diesel and I crawled up a ridgeline … More A Little Lost at Stevens Peak
What Lies Below Avondale’s Ice
March 8, 2017
Four inches of ice is all it takes to support the weight of an average-sized person. So it was a relief to know the ice I found myself walking on was over eight inches thick. Keeping this in mind, I trudged across Avondale Lake towards my buddy Kody and his brother, Matt. It all begins … More What Lies Below Avondale’s Ice
Palouse Falls Field Trip Style
February 22, 2017
A gloomy Saturday morning greeted my sleepy eyes as I stumbled out of bed and into a pair of slippers. Why was I awake at 4 a.m.? Did my nose catch a whiff of some sizzling bacon? Nope. Did Diesel (our lab/retriever mix) nut tap me again with his clumsy ass paws? Not even. It was the morning … More Palouse Falls Field Trip Style
A Road Trip That Left Us Stranded, Almost
January 11, 2017
Frigid weather is still upon us and sometimes the warmth of summer seems so far away. The warmth of an all natural hot spring sounded like a wonderful idea. David and his wife Trisha invited Josh and I to enjoy Jerry Johnson Hot Springs in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness in Idaho. It was a week before … More A Road Trip That Left Us Stranded, Almost
