Summer in Colorado: By the Numbers
One of the most common excuses I hear from people about why they can’t/ won’t/ don’t travel is money. Believe me, freelance writing is no way to get rich. If I can afford to travel, so can you! Travel doesn’t … Continue reading

Owl Love Leadville
One of the things I love most about Colorado are the mountain towns. I usually avoid the glitzy ski centers (Aspen, Vail and Breckenridge) in favor of the smaller, more hardscrabble ex-mining towns like Leadville, Telluride, Crested Butte, Fairplay, and … Continue reading
Roadside America: UFO Watchtower
The San Luis Valley is to Colorado what Roswell is to New Mexico: a remote hot spot of strange nights, unexplained lights and Unidentified Flying Objects. And it’s not a new phenomenon: in the early 1600’s Spanish explorers crossing the … Continue reading

Boondocking Blanca BLM
Funny how when you don’t have anywhere specific to go, you usually end up going in circles. I’ve spent the summer driving lazy loops around southern Colorado – I have yet to make it north of I-70 – and I … Continue reading
Me & My Shadows: Four Corners
You may have noticed, I take a lot of pictures. I’m addicted to this 3-pound weight always hanging around my neck. If I’m outside, it’s with me and I’m always using it, come rain, shine or snow, and in all types of light. At certain … Continue reading
Rover Love: Journey to the Wild & Wonderful Wheeler Geologic Area
The Wheeler Geologic Area in Colorado’s La Garita Wilderness, near the town of Creede is a little bit mythic: the rocks are otherworldly and nigh unreachable by any casual means. To visit Wheeler, you have to either hike 20 miles … Continue reading

Working On the Road: My Rolling Office
I know my life must seem like a non-stop vacation, but I don’t just play hard on the road, I work hard too, making a living as a freelance science and travel writer. Much to my delight, my mobile office … Continue reading
A Walk In The Clouds: Three 14’ers, One Fine Foggy Day
After reveling in my very first Burro Days in Fairplay, Colorado, I headed up the road to the tiny town of Alma – the highest town in the U.S. – and then on to the highest campground in the country … Continue reading
Rover Love!
Earlier this spring, during my loop through southeast Utah, it became apparent to me that my trusty Subaru’s miles were numbered. The Raven has towed the Rattler for many miles – all the way to Alaska and back, last summer … Continue reading
Black Canyon of the Gunnison: Into the Abyss and Up Again
“A venturesome minority will always be eager to set off on their own, and no obstacles should be placed in their path; let them take risks, for godsake, let them get lost, sunburnt, stranded, drowned, eaten by bears, buried alive … Continue reading
