We thought we might mix it up a little and go for a bike ride instead of a hike today. It was a hot day…the Banks Vernonia Trail is right there and mostly shaded and gorgeous. Perfect. We got the folders out, filled up a few things of water, grabbed…

We're spending a few days this week out at Stub Stewart State Park. We figured we could work and hike from here and get some different trail scenery than we've been getting around home. (Not that we're complaining…we just wanted an excuse to get out in the trailer a bit.)…

We're getting low on our supply of our homemade BBQ rub (and we have a brisket on the big Traeger at home right now) so we decided to make a couple big batches of it today. We headed over to Penzey's to pick up the bulk spices we needed, and…
