Alpine Lakes Wilderness
Backpacking one of Washington's best PCT segments
A straightforward backpacking trip, for the first time in a while. 4 days, 30-something miles through the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
Ride Ten Thousand
115 miles through the IL Driftless Area
Ride Ten Thousand is an awesome annual gravel ride through the Driftless Area in Illinois, named for the 10k feet of elevation gain on the route. It's really hilly.
Pfiffner Traverse
A Colorado high route... and of course a bike ride!
I guess we're high route people now. This time we hiked the Pfiffner Traverse, an 80-mile route along the Continental Divide in Colorado's Front Range. And in keeping with tradition, we finished the loop by bike.
DIY Electrolyte Mix
A simple electrolyte mix for your next hike, run, or bike ride
After growing tired of paying for expensive electrolyte mixes, I decided to create my own. A Nice Little Electrolyte Mix, if you will. At just 11 cents per serving, it's tough to beat the value!
Sawtooth Traverse Part 2: Packrafting the Salmon River
Plus a bike ride to complete the loop
The second leg of our Sawtooth adventure. Two days packrafting down the Salmon River, then a 45-mile bike ride back to our starting point.
Sawtooth Traverse Part 1: Hiking the Sawtooth High Route
60 miles through Idaho's Sawtooth Range
The first leg of our Sawtooth adventure. Armed with some maps and a loose itinerary, we navigated through an unofficial Sawtooth High Route.

Bike camping in the Chicago winter?!?
Another trip with local organization Out Our Front Door. Quite a bit chillier than the last one.
Out Our Front Door
Flock off the Block ride from Chicago to Camp Sullivan
An overnight bikepacking trip with Out Our Front Door, a nonprofit bike camping organization in Chicago. A nice little adventure indeed!
