A friend of mine recently purchased a Minnie Winnie and was itching to take it out for it’s first camping trip. Now this being the break-in trip and all, it’s something which is best suited for a guys trip out as apposed to wife and family. I mean you never know what could go wrong … Read more
I’m thinking this run club started about 11 years ago. Many ‘members’ have come and gone over those years, so this is but a small sampling of the ones that could make it out for our last run as Salsa Brava runners! We celebrated many birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and congrats on last weekends races here. … Read more
My options for camping are becoming limited this year, simply because of other weekend conflicts, combined with not really owning good cold weather gear. Plus, I much prefer to camp in nice weather anyway! So with that in mind, I went for another quick overnight this weekend. It was a bit random as far as … Read more
A friend of mine was in town this past week with his son on a combined business/pleasure trip. The pleasure part included doing some Colorado white water rafting and mountain climbing. I met them in Buena Vista, after they had done some river rafting, for a bite to eat. After that we were off to find … Read more

The warm weather weekends are not with us for much longer this year. I decided to head west into the mountains and get away from the concrete. I had no real destination, just a journey. A friend of mine had hiked Ptarmigan Lake just outside of Buena Vista and said it was a great hike. … Read more
I love animals. Animals are the true ‘minimalists’. Obviously I prefer them to be in their native wild habitats, but Colorado doesn’t really have the habit for Bengal Tigers or Asian Elephants and unfortunately many of their natural habitats are shrinking. Good zoos educate the pubic about conservation issues and inspire people to protect animals … Read more
