I missed you Dolly Sods. My first time cross-country skiing was about a year ago. I fell once. Today was my second time. I fell...uhh...more than once. But it was so nice to take advantage of the fresh snow. And falling was much softer.

This is the kind of week when backpacking gear is useful indoors.

Only the classiest rain gear on the PCT: Gallon-sized Ziploc. (Post inspired by @drew_boysen.) #pacificcresttrail #pct2018

I have a love-hate relationship with New York City. On one hand, the unique combination of cigarette smoke, car exhaust, and piss is jarring to my nature-loving alter ego. The higher-than-usual level of rudeness also takes adjustment. Although the more I thought about it, I had to laugh at the irony of the truck passenger mock-whining at me (“Awww, you have to walk a few extra steps”) after I gave the driver the side eye for blocking the intersection. On the other hand, the stage productions are just so damned incredible. (If you do get a chance to see Network, I recommend sitting on the right side of the house, so that you can see what is happening in the control room tucked into the side of the stage.)

If you are near New York City, go see this before it closes. Adorable and very, very funny. (Something makes be think @birbigs would cringe if he saw that I used the word “adorable” first.)

My favorite travel photo from 2018, taken just north of Kennedy Meadows along the PCT. I wonder what’s in store for 2019... #pacificcresttrail #pct2018
