Snow in September at 3500 feet. It’s coming! Always a challenge to get winterized in time when you’re solo. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3FDnZWgDYT/?igshid=49ej9cgz9ptj

Today is going to be a good day. I can smell it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxL9NTKH3TF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m9bsv8sdf9ca

I don’t miss the gym anymore with a view like this. Haven’t been to a #gym since July of 2016; wasn’t sure working out at home was going to give me the same testosterone and dopamine rush, but I was dead wrong. Part of being strong is your resilience; measured by your comfort level with adaptation. Don’t let nostalgia for comfort and familiarity squander an opportunity to adapt to something new. Rituals have their place, but they can create ruts. (at Plain, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BunQvyJnf3l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e7fdn6it8kax

Elk Jerky Part Deux. This time, Washington style. (at Skadi Suite) https://www.instagram.com/p/BufTillnlMF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hnh5t1mn7cj2

I break more hearts than most surgeons, butchers or hunters combined. Tool of choice: Global G-2 (at Plain, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buc-R2AHEqd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x30qpotmthd1

I would like to take this opportunity to give a shout out to Brad’s truck tires who made this ride possible. And of course also to my little champ #akela who romped along for 9 miles and as we speak is pretty #wrecked (at Plain, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BucrWXHHpIH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aocba67k0jgi

Too often here, I feel like this tree. I wonder if that will ever stop. Moving to the Pacific Northwest solo is not for the faint of heart. (at Plain, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuX7LCpHUIC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q69re0gdjur

You asked for snow. A little late this year, but it keeps coming! (at Plain, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuX5vwCH5gl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16xf0d8cdv325

Can’t imagine life without you two. (at Skadi Suite) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtmbEggnEkE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pv9anmozn3m5

Happiness is the crunch of paws on snow on a sunny day in the #cascades ............. Would that I could be Akela, completely unburdened by the past or future, every day a clean slate, a fresh gaze, a quickened heart.

“How does this one feel in your hand? Heck try them all.” “If it’s not light enough I’m never going to take it hiking. Then what’s the point? Is this thing loaded?” I pointed the barrel down, away from him. “Nope. Point it at the wall.” “Oh...I like the laser.” I aimed at a hook, and boom the laser locked right on it. “Thought you would.” It’s not a decision I take lightly. Any of it.

Today the entire ride was on thick ice, and by the time I realized that I had too many layers on to bail. You just try to stay calm and not touch your brakes! Climbing was dicey, but descending was ridiculous. I need to stick some sheet metal screws in my old tires....

Making elk jerky. From kill to hang to cutting to smoking to nourishing. When you’re in Central Oregon, you actually feel as if you are in the West, where the farmers and cowboys and cowgirls are aplenty.

The rules are different in #Oregon. Good to be back. (at Terrebonne, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJ7L9wHnQB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7khi5q5jz76k

Akela is done with having Lady in the house recuperating. He’s got a bit of a jealous bone. She did recover a bit with the antibiotics, but it looks like I will have to cull her tomorrow. She’s a sweet bird. It’s not going to be easy to euthanize her with my own hand, but it’s part of the cycle. I certainly tried. 😞 (at Plain, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtFe-NAnFnd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fybb65bqnz15
