Wind River Range, WY

Rock, Forest, and Meadow

We knew we couldn’t escape it forever. After evading it for nearly four years, COVID finally caught up with us. That virus is no joke. It was nasty.

After 9 days of laying in bed, only getting up to pee, it was time to get out into the wilderness to finish recovering with fresh air, hard labor, and a little bit of starvation. Back to the Wind Rivers!

Chilean Memorial Beach, WA

Olympic Coast Backpacking

With each tide the Pacific kept spitting out these gorgeous rocks right at our feet, already tumbled to a smooth finish. Each one was more beautiful than the last. After a while I had to stop picking them up. Beach backpacking with 10 pounds of rocks in the bottom of your pack is a tough workout!
