About Me
I’m a 30 something living in the metropolis of Burlington, Vermont. Grew up on edge of the Adirondack’s and set packing for six years to the beauty of Montana after high school, to care-free NYC for a couple of years (yeah I didn’t last long – I’m not a lifer) and now in Vermont and settling some roots down.
I’m just starting to hike the ADK High Peaks again and want to document that journey. Will I make it to hitting all 46 of them. Not sure. I’ll probably also post on other things. We’ll see how it goes.

Mac: My favorite spotted man
There are few people in this world who melt my heart. And fewer still that I take on an affectionate, even girl like persona. Mac is one of those people. Ok he’s not really a person, but he’s close enough. … Continue reading

Brewster: My favorite furry man
I don’t own any animals (some long-term plants, but any care beyond that is just too much commitment for me). But I love animals – particular dogs and horses. Lucky for me I have close friends who let me borrow … Continue reading
