Didn't think I was going to complete an ultra in 2025 but felt good enough to give this one a go and I'm glad I did. It was a fun event and my legs held up well. I finished with 36 miles and 7100 feet of gain. Oof! #trailrunning #steependurance #ultrarunning #connecticut #ultramarathon

Backpacking tips for Yosemite! You never know what you'll get in November. #nationalparks #hiking #outdoors

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.

Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

Yosemite backpacking was a true delight! I camped deep in the wilderness and then hiked Clouds Rest which spooked me a bit...but only because of the incredible sheer cliffs all around! Here's the video which captures my amazing day. #nationalparks #california #hiking

Hooper drives the boat, Charlie Brown.

Been a while since I filmed a trail race. Not easy keeping up with the fastest guys! If you're looking for a great trail race in RI, check this one out next November. #trailrunning #rhodeisland

Yosemite Valley is a magical place. #nationalparks

I spent two nights in the Yosemite backcountry last week - a fantastic experience! Here's a video of the first day of my trip:

I thought I was done with backyard ultras for a while but after watching the championships these last few days...

I'm a hammock guy but a west coast trip has prompted a new tent purchase. Anyone else have experience with the X-Mid 1? Looking forward to trying it out!

Reflections on Autumn #foliage #leafpeeping #rhodeisland

There has been a shameful lack of camping on my part this year. I made it out for one autumn night at least. #backpacking #hammock #newengland #foliage

I've caught quite a variety of creatures in my woods of #rhodeisland over the last few months. Still waiting on that bear though! #trailcam

More trolls have arrived in #rhodeisland! I ran by the one in North Kingstown. Took me a little while to track him down. Been a while since I've been to Ryan Park - fantastic place for #trailrunning.

New England hiking at its best - Caps Ridge is a terrific way to reach Mt. Jefferson.

One of the best places to be in New England. Mt. Adams in the background - taken July 13, 2025 #whitemountains #hiking #newhampshire #presidentials

Dog Days of Summer means HHH (and bugs). But it also means river dips.

Hey my first post! And my latest video - #hiking Mt. Katahdin in Baxter State Park. If you want a good example of tough #newengland hiking, this is it.
