Namaste! I’m in India, and I’m 35 years old here.
When I first moved to Flagstaff, I had to severely limit myself when it came to hobbies.
There’s so damn much to do up here, which means theres also so damn much to buy.
I started “joking” about limiting myself to picking up (and outfitting myself for) one new hobby every season.
My first fall/winter here? Hiking. My first spring/summer here? Camping. My second fall/winter here? Snowshoeing. My second spring/summer here? Paddle boarding. My third fall/ winter here? Backpacking. My third spring/summer here? Trail running.
Flagstaff hobbies add up, y’all. And while I love ice skating, our local climbing gym and CycleBar spin classes, I haven’t even really gotten to skiing, outdoor climbing and biking yet.
Did you know that… if you want both a pie and a cookie as a fall dessert, there’s nothing saying you cannot have both.
There’s also nothing saying you can’t have both in one easy, convenient and very impressive-looking recipe.
I think we left off at a brewery (of course) but I’m back with the second part of yesterday’s post about my brother and sister visiting me (aka, I now return to your regularly-scheduled outdoors and hiking content).
So, the Detroit Lions are finally good.
Well, this was not the season for gardening, and I’m calling it early.
I can’t believe it’s already fall.
While I did make my new shortalls my entire personality this summer, I did wear a few more things…
…including actual orthopedic shoes, no joke.
Hello!
I just wrapped up a 14-day wildfire assignment down on the Tonto.
Have you ever had black rice?
It’s also known as forbidden rice or purple rice, and it’s a nutty, antioxidant-rich grain popular in Asia.
