Winter Camping

I have been trying to go winter camping for three years now, and finely made it out this year. I had some extra time this winter do to my foot and not being able to ski, (which is a good thing as far as I’m concerned). Anyway, winter camping is a lot of fun. This is actually my second two day winter camping trip. The first time was at Levis with Matthew and Dan. This time was on Jerry Lake, off the ice age trail, up there north of 64. The crew was Dan, Tim, and I. Winter camping consists of: keeping warm, making fire wood, food, and water. All of that while taking pulls form the flask, and taking smart to one another, make the days go by fast. Here are the rest of the pictures to tell the tale.

I started the day thinking that Dan Hillier and I were going to go winter camping, but...
Here how the story goes: On Christmas day I went for a three hour classic ski workout. On that day I didn't have good technique and that caused me to slip alot on any kind of incline. Anyway, by the end of the day my foot was killin me. So as smart as I am I went skiing the next day, needless to say that didn't last very long. My workouts since have consisted of skate skiing about four days a week. Than having to rest my foot the rest of the week. The brain child that I am, on Monday I tried classic skiing again, needless to say I had to stop after thirty min's. This lead me to the doctors office this morning with the news of a stress fracture in my metatarsal. Ya for me, I to have be in this walking cast for four weeks. Look out bike trainer here I come, or maybe some P90X?

It been awhile.

I recently stumbled upon The Perennial plate, an online documentary series about adventurous eating and sustainable living in Minnesota. This is one of many weekly episodes that I enjoyed the most. At the 7.28min made me think.

The U.P.

Headed up to the U.P. this AM. Six hours of driving, two and a quarter hour skiing, which left me spent. I did manage too make a hell of a frost beard; probably from all the heavy breathing!

Hopefully there will be no wasted fruit in my house anymore.

Getting Hitched

Living the Dream

Early this morning: I was hanging up clothes, and looking at my garden, thinking what could be better.

Yesterday

A nice sunny day for a bike ride at Nine Mile. Dose anybody know what kind of flower this is?

The power of a Bike.

I first seen this on David's blog.

Scrapertown from California is a place. on Vimeo.

The Scraper Bike King has some very powerful words. Giving kinds the sense of being part of something positive, giving them goals; man, that is very powerful. All of this done by simply by riding a bicycle.

Sunday

A romantic bike ride with Matthew Lawrence.
