Can't stop the Winds

The always stunning and extremely rugged Wind River Mountains... I can't get enough of this mountain range. I crave these mountains. They consume my thoughts and day dreams--from exploring every trail, finding a new lake, new route to hike, sleeping in them, fishing in them and swimming in them. I'm grateful for the few times I had with them this summer but I am sad to see this season of backpacking come to a close. The short summer and even shorter fall allows just a few months to explore these hills. On this last trek, after tossing and turning all night in my sleeping bag trying to get warm I got up the next morning to my water in my camelback being frozen solid. That's when I realized I was on my final trip of the season in the Winds. So, now I have all winter and spring to plan my next Wind River adventure and hopefully I find some new recruits to join me.

Andy Frasco and the UN--rocked my face off!

This guy. What a talent. He will go far with his musical skills, charisma, motivation, inspiration and determination. His energy is a contagious epidemic. We fell in love with him, his music, his talented band mates and their hilarious musical dueling with comedic banter while performing on stage. If you ever have the chance to see this band DO IT! Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes because you will be dancing all night!
