So, I picked up this 50 year old Dolphin Chief Papoose #Canoe for $100 and started bringing her back to life. I'm planning on using it for my week long trip down the lower #Wisconsin riverway later this year

Laminating maps and getting ready for my next solo adventure. Canoe camping for a week and exploring 92 miles of river

Bison often walk through this campground and hiking area in #badlandsnational park.

Also, before I get any negative comments, I was zoomed in from a safe distance and there was a deep gorge between myself and the bison. Please do not approach wild animals.

Haven't posted in a while but I just got back from a ten day road trip and I have a ton of photos to share!

Somewhat of a darker theme today.
Abandoned places fascinate me.
I took these photos at the Indiana State Sanitarium. They offer guided and self guided tours of the property. It was eerie walking the halls and seeing personal belongings left as if people just got up and left mid day.

Just thinking about beautiful hiking weather and dry trails. Here are some photos from last summer.

Devil's Doorway overlooking the frozen Devil's Lake near Baraboo Wisconsin. A few of the trails were a little sketchy but it was definitely worth the hike.

It got up to 50 degrees today so obviously I had to go for at least a short hike. The trail was a slushy mess but the lake shore was lovely.

I'd been to Devil's lake many time but never in the winter. The snow and Ice were beautiful and I couldn't resist a hike across the frozen lake.

Winter #hiking with @noirheartcreations.bsky.social ay Devil's Lake State Park in #wisconsin took the east bluff trail which was only slightly sketchy then walked back across the frozen lake.

Testing out a new trekking pole tent. It weighs just over a pound and a half.

Went on a nice winter hike with @noirheartcreations.bsky.social over the weekend to break in some new boots. We went 5.2 miles on the Zillerman yellow loop
