I’ve got a buddy who takes a train whenever possible when he travels. Sure a plane or the open road is way more efficient – but you miss so much. I spent an hour and a half on a train today following the Connecticut River. Now I feel that I have no choice but toContinue reading “From a Train | 9.20.24”

Balanced Affections | 5.16.24
The Cut is looking rather on point this evening… But, like anything you plan to adoreyou need to be patient to see it right… Just don’t stare too long.Then it gets really real..Takes shape. Affections need to be balanced… I had a dream last night that doesn’t make sense anymore… A kiss on the neck.HairContinue reading “Balanced Affections | 5.16.24”
Blueberries and Rain
Growing up on my grandparent’s farm, I had the benefit of walking out into the orchard with my cereal bowl and picking some fresh blueberries to go along with my morning cornflakes. Somewhere in late May, maybe early June, my aunt and cousins would come over and we would drag out the massive nets toContinue reading “Blueberries and Rain”
Finally, a Chipmunk…
Early last month, someone set up a dome tent close enough to the edge of the road, near the trailhead at Ragged, that it was easy to see. Now that the forest has filled in, you really need to look for it – but it’s still there. The first time I saw it, the frontContinue reading “Finally, a Chipmunk…”
So Many Roads…
I haven’t been getting out to hike nearly as much as I’d like to. It’s not for lack of want, but lack of time. Either way, being that this is my last week off before I start my new 9-to-5, I’m going to make an effort to get out there and get my head right.Continue reading “So Many Roads…”

And this time of year is actually one of my favorites. There’s not a lot going on out there in the winter. ThereContinue reading “It’s Never Enough”
River Sisters Homestead
I live in a valley where the Connecticut River has a major influence on the weather we get down at the house. I’m half a mile from the main road, the other side of which lives the river. In the warmer months, you can hear the powerboats ripping down the multi-state waterway. Due to theContinue reading “River Sisters Homestead”
Six From The Heart
I spent this weekend in the woods – submerged in the ether. Fall is always a special time for me to get out in the out there, but this year came on extra strong and having the ability to get away for two days right when the leaves were hitting their stride was nothing shortContinue reading “Six From The Heart”
Eden’s Shore
Most people see Spring and Summer as the ideal time to have an adventure in the great outdoors. Spring? YES!Summer? Not so much… This morning I woke up and it was 45 degrees before the sun crawled over the mountain. It’s only 48 now with the sun in my eyes – and all I wantContinue reading “Eden’s Shore”
There’s Always Airplane Mode…
Last week Elon Musk announced that he was going to launch more of his Starlink satellites into space so that some of the most remote locations on the planet would have cell service. Outlets like Outside and Gear Junkie picked up on the story, and – in accessing these articles on their respective social pagesContinue reading “There’s Always Airplane Mode…”
