I'd rather be in a tent somewhere far from people than be anywhere else. My places are Wyoming and Hawaii. Been backpacking for fifty-five years and love the backcountry.

Opinion | What's next from the Wyoming Freedom Caucus? Tinfoil Stetsons?

Hiked to the Harney Peak Lookout, now called Black Elk Peak. Many, many people on the trail. Feels like more people are visiting the hills later in the year. We've been coming in September for years. #blackelkwilderness #blackhills #southdakota #harneypeak #blackelkpeak

Every fall we go back to Wyoming for a month to take in the smell of the pines and aspens and campfire smoke and sagebrush and listen to the elk calling during the rutting season. This is what we look forward to every year. Flying out tomorrow. #wyoming #bighorns #backpacking

Tarp camp on the base of Steaming Cone, northeast rift of Mauna Loa. Twelve+ miles from the trailhead. Since the October 2022 Mauna Loa lava flow, this site would be very hard to get to now. #hawaiivolcanoesnationalpark #maunaloa #bigisland #milkyway
