“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home.”

Elowah Falls in Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge cascades in endless curtains of white. I sat mesmerized in the cooling mist and relished the sight of it being whipped sideways by a wild wind. While I could have lingered in this amphitheater of yellow lichen and green moss, there was far more to…

Join me on this exciting riding adventure and more just  outside of Quito, Ecuador

The Enemy

I entered this story in Daves Travel  Contest.  You might find that It jogs your perspective.

The waves come in from the open ocean and there is nothing to slow their momentum. We pitched twenty feet up, then plunged down, slamming on the water with a heavy thud. After several hours of this rude pounding, I gave up to the fatalistic notion that this was the way I was meant to go. Since I planned to have my ashes scattered at sea, I felt this was just a short cut to…

I think it was Will Rogers who said “The best thing for the inside of a man is the outside of a horse.” May I extend that thought to include women and children as well? Guest ranches allow city dwellers the chance to learn how to ride and to breathe deeply of the vast expanses of wilderness that make out country so special.
