Leadville has always been one of my favorite mountain towns. Its weird and quirky and artsy Leadville was first…

The Beautiful Journey To Stewart British Columbia and Hyder Alaska
On this jaunt up to Alaska, I decided I’d take a slightly different route than I did last time. Instead of going straight up the Alaska Highway starting at Dawson Creek, I thought I’d veer off to the left and go up the Stewart-Cassiar Highway instead. It’s Hwy 37 and 37A, two little roads that…

Ten Days In Texas
Forget everything you think you know about Texas. Yes, its the land that unleashed George W. Bush on the world and the place that the big evil oil companies call home. Much to my surprise however, Texas has gone from being the 800 mile land mass that I had to cross (twice) in order to…
