New Posts

It's been a busy week. I went to Wrigley Field for the first time and I saw Barry Bonds hit two home runs, one of them left the park and landed on Sheffield Street. I also managed to visit beautiful Mongo Indiana yesterday and enjoyed a five hour kayak on the Pigeon River, upstream of Mongo.

Vacation Musings

I'm up in Traverse City, after spending the day on Lake Michigan by Sleeping Bear Dune. Earlier in the week I kayaked the Pere Marquette River, and even camped for the first time in about twenty years.
