    Your Friends Will Love These Treats – Paleo-Friendly Granola Bars

    On the tails of last week’s post: this time, some people treats!

  • Monday: Glymur

    Monday: Glymur

    We rose early to drive the two, three hours from Onundarhorn to hike Glymur Falls (3.8 miles, 1,000 ft elevation gain) in the only day forecasted to be sunny on our trip. It meant doubling back the way we came, but fortunately we were booked for two nights in the South. I was dragging, but…

  • Pro-Tip Tuesday:
    Waterproof Camping Matches, an Anti-Tip

    When I was a kid in Minnesota, I went to this one summer day camp where they taught us, among other things,* to waterproof regular matches by painting clear nail polish on them. Years later living in Seattle, I diligently painted and dried each match this way. That’s the Dahlia Lounge matches you see in…
