The sign stated “Live to Hike Another Day” at the beginning of the trail in Palo Duro Canyon in Texas.  This was followed by a sign telling you how much water you should have for each hour you expected to be hiking: 1 Gallon for each person and pet for a six mile hike.  High … Continue reading Live to Hike Another Day?

Elders Remember

Posted on July 9, 2022June 18, 2022No Comments on Elders Remember

Visiting a cousin in Mineral Wells, Texas was stepping back in time. My father became acquainted with her just one year ago when she came to a “Stinson Memorial” gravestone ceremony in Evansville, IN. She has been researching the Stinson name for 50 years. This is before Ancestry and 23andme were even a thought. She … Continue reading Elders Remember

Abilene Reflection

Posted on June 25, 2022June 18, 20221 Comment on Abilene Reflection

The Silence of Nature allows reflection. Not matter how challenging today is with all the stress of disease, money, war and politics, I can be still in nature, and think about similar times in the past when I was much younger. I reflect on my peace, not because I have retired, but because I have … Continue reading Abilene Reflection

Backyard Beauties

Posted on May 14, 2022May 6, 2022No Comments on Backyard Beauties

Why is it that we never deeply explore our own ‘backyard’ adventures as much as the visitors and tourists do? As we travel, I am always looking for green tracts on the maps. Because of the dog, we are identifying places to stop and let him run and sniff a bit. That is how I … Continue reading Backyard Beauties

Slow Down for Adventure

Posted on April 30, 2022April 13, 2022No Comments on Slow Down for Adventure

On my yearly break from insane living, I read poetry and sacred focused writings regarding nature. My two favorite authors are Laurie Kehler and Beldon Lane. Laurie writes in “This Outside Life, p. 148”, “Why? Keeps us looking at God’s hand, going in circles. What’s next? Directs our gaze upward to God’s face opening the … Continue reading Slow Down for Adventure

Enchanted Wind

Posted on April 2, 2022March 30, 20221 Comment on Enchanted Wind

Hiking Enchanted Rock in the middle of Texas 20 miles north of Fredericksburg, was one to remember. Sustained winds of 30 plus miles per hour with gusts of 40-50 miles per hour buffeted us in every direction as we climbed 1,843 feet in 0.8 miles with no trees to shield us from the onslaught. It … Continue reading Enchanted Wind
