I recently got my first tattoo of Moo’s paw print. I wanted it on my right wrist so when I put my right hand over my heart, the hearts touch. This was such a raw and authentic moment in my life. Im terrified of needles and I sat in a dark cloud of fear as I shared this with my tattoo artist. She said something that resonated with me and still does today. “what you are battling in your mind right now is the most pain you are going to experience”. She was right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1582181755729-FT439LJ14Q4RMGGCNWTR/LRG-DSC07217.JPG Blog - Why Do You RECREATE in the Outdoors? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1582181635835-OV9B1C44M2K7BYB7JN0W/LRG-DSC07433+%281%29.JPG Blog - Why Do You RECREATE in the Outdoors? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1582181609018-JY7FROENNLZVKA7RWBNQ/IMG-3600.JPG Blog - Why Do You RECREATE in the Outdoors? Moo and I recently did our first 20-mile day together this winter. We skied then went for a trail run then tried to ski again but ended up walking a road because there was no snow! It boggles my mind to think three months ago this little pup was mauled by a coyote. https://www.goldenstateofminds.com/blog-1/2020/1/21/backcountry-adventures-in-yosemite-and-the-sawtooth-range monthly 0.5 2020-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1579667947013-PGX4FOAR35KZYSGWAME2/LRG-DSC06575.JPG Blog - Backcountry Adventures in Yosemite and The Sawtooth Range Sawtooth Range https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1579668586017-31DMX1GANBI1USQQCQVX/LRG-DSC06842.JPG Blog - Backcountry Adventures in Yosemite and The Sawtooth Range https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1579667994219-9L4YYUS41US6IVWAUH82/LRG-DSC06922.JPG Blog - Backcountry Adventures in Yosemite and The Sawtooth Range Half Dome at sunset covered in snow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1579667795203-NPOH08SSCB3LJUHNW6HU/LRG-DSC06687.JPG Blog - Backcountry Adventures in Yosemite and The Sawtooth Range https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1579667360397-PFSYG7VJFK6B3KKSUZYC/IMG-2991+%281%29.JPG Blog - Backcountry Adventures in Yosemite and The Sawtooth Range I boarded Moo for two long weekends in a row and I am SO happy to have her home!

I have seen this rare phenomenon in photos but have never experienced it first hand, until this trip. I was about 30 miles from the park entrance and had to pull over to soak up these views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578376188903-I20R3DOQAZNY7AZEAPFX/LRG-DSC06526.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley Off roading and shooting photography!

I parked at the overly crowded Zabrinske Point parking lot and quickly weaved my way through the crowds onto the trail. Within a half a mile, there was not a soul in sight. I ran a total of 7 miles and made it back just in time to photograph the sun setting over the snow covered peaks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578376521609-0O5W4UB8AQ91XBZ0N2CB/LRG-DSC06421.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley Most people become annoyed by paw prints on their car’s interior. I believe that a car is meant to be driven and Moo rules the universe so she can take her muddy paw prints wherever her heart desires. One thing is for certain, I would rather have doggy paw prints than nasty flaming hot Cheeto fingers in my car. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578376109216-2WEZRCI0DSLZRABESCVC/LRG-DSC06525.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley Dirt roads and salt flats.

I am by no means a morning person, and although I tried, I never made it. On my third morning I woke up in the back of my truck just before 7AM to this stunning view. I quickly grabbed my camera, jumped in the driver’s seat to roll down my back window and crawled back into my bed so I can photograph this morning sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578376795172-222GCZWN8IZ3UOO7OMZX/LRG-DSC06286.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley Jaw dropping views and loads of people going 2 miles an hour… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578376329769-QEC9W9UR4C3TCG8U5BRD/LRG-DSC06389.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley It was such a breath of fresh air to see dirt and not snow everywhere. As much as I love skiing almost everyday, I do miss being able to run without worrying about slipping and sliding on ice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578376289557-K5NFBKZQH3SNJSJCPG3R/LRG-DSC06468.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley My car handled pretty well on all types of terrain in the desert. I took out my backseats which made for so much room to sleep in the back! When my friends arrived at the campsite I was laying in the back, reading a book, drinking wine with two pillows propped against my head. Moo was somewhere buried in a mound of blankets. Such a rad vehicle with terrible gas mileage. To be honest, I solely purchased this vehicle because I could not imagine having to put chains on my sedan during and after every storm in Mammoth. I can roll out of bed, dig out my car, put it in 4WD and just go, no matter how icy or snowy the roads are. I was even more excited to get this onto some dirt backcountry roads! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578378224449-WMRSVUMV4W6S28OXTG2R/LRG-DSC06175+%281%29.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley Shooting stars were the main theme of my night photography session at Zabrinske Point. None of these sky photos were time-lapsed nor stacked. They are all a single shots on a very low aperture, 20-25 second shutter speed and an ISO of approximately 4500. A timer and a good tripod are also necessary with a wide angle camera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578376861978-C3YVFDPPPUANZ5GXFN4I/LRG-DSC06245.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley Golden Canyon during the magic hour really lives up to its name. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578378414975-O3GG0XHQ4W0LZ2X93MEI/LRG-DSC06171+%281%29.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley Single shot photo of the stunning starry night sky at Zabrinske Point. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578376947450-BT7VIK36LPS804D4Z139/LRG-DSC06289.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley Artist Palette drive is stunning but driving behind a yahoo who is going 5 miles per hour and dodging a person trying to go the wrong way down a one way road is not so fun.

Whether it was white puffy clouds against a bright blue ski, bright shooting stars traveling across the night sky, purple sunsets and deep orange sunrises; this was one of the most beautiful sky shows I have ever seen in consecutive days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578376226224-6S8Y8XDWEWZY1KMQOOQF/LRG-DSC06520.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley More stunning views from the back roads! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578375868122-S496T9IFM6HEB5XU9RQT/LRG-DSC06522.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley I love the dirt road winding into the mountains against the contrast of the salt flats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578376496664-8SDS0GOWQXX6LDXDKC6A/LRG-DSC06344.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley After driving through Artist Palette, I was really looking forward to shooting sunset a couple miles down the road. Sadly, I got caught up behind a yahoo going about 25 miles an hour in a 40 mph zone. I was certain I missed all the good lighting and no matter what settings I adjusted my camera but I struggled with grain, focus and light. I am still not really sure how I stumbled upon this moment but for maybe five seconds, I watched the deep purple light reflecting off the puddles of water in the salt flats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578376912054-L9QPQHL7WFXBYK8Z9VLT/LRG-DSC06198.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1578378386308-D4BMKU1W70K0B9SVDTQI/LRG-DSC06174+%281%29.JPG Blog - Ringing in 2020 in a Snow Covered Death Valley I check the weather almost as much as I check the moon calendar. Living in a mountain town, I am always looking out for snowstorms, full moons and dark skies. I knew this Death Valley trip would be a relatively new moon, which meant a chance for an incredible dark starry night, as long as it was clear. I packed a bottle of wine, my tripod, some warm clothes and headed up to Zabrinske Point to shoot one of the most breathtaking night skies I have ever seen. https://www.goldenstateofminds.com/blog-1/2019/12/18/the-ultimate-winter-guide-for-outdoor-adventuring-in-the-eastern-sierra monthly 0.5 2021-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1576664093089-5ZU7PKLZUZAU1VW7P4Q3/LRG-DSC00175.JPG Blog - The Ultimate Winter Guide for Outdoor Adventuring in the Eastern Sierra To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake it is necessary to stand out in the cold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1576664043450-EOZLWL36H9AZUVM5RV4X/LRG-DSC05705.JPG Blog - The Ultimate Winter Guide for Outdoor Adventuring in the Eastern Sierra "No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn." --Hal Borland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1576664131623-MERY05SEXQ8V9RSZ41EP/IMG-5514+%281%29.JPG Blog - The Ultimate Winter Guide for Outdoor Adventuring in the Eastern Sierra “A pile of fur and snow and lots of love” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1576663955109-9UHC0EF48ZAM21U0O39M/IMG-2045.JPG Blog - The Ultimate Winter Guide for Outdoor Adventuring in the Eastern Sierra Moo in my pack after a morning of breaking trail on skis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1576664244655-J2U94JQEQYEPBW277TOU/LRG-DSC05818.JPG Blog - The Ultimate Winter Guide for Outdoor Adventuring in the Eastern Sierra “When snow falls, nature listens”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1576664266684-TTCFJ7KXTE7GE321QDZY/LRG-DSC05922.JPG Blog - The Ultimate Winter Guide for Outdoor Adventuring in the Eastern Sierra "Welcome, winter.

Many of us look at those times as the best in our lives- though by no means the easiest.

Every week I would visit and play with the kiddos. I raised a few hundred dollars over Christmas and threw them a huge Christmas celebration with food, gifts, a cake and kitchen necessities. As I drove up with my Tanzanian family, each child was in his or her Sunday best and the Bibi and Babu prepared a huge African feast for me! They wrapped me around in this African blanket and gathered around me and sang songs to welcome me into their family, a tradition that is done at Tanzanian weddings. And to think I was giving THEM a Christmas. THEY gave me the most memorable Christmas of my life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1534402975005-YM3LD217T6S1FY0VW355/IMG_8853.PNG Blog - Giving Back, Porters' Rights and My Experience Climbing Kilimanjaro Too much weight and no gloves https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1534402277933-TRLAJKEGKMG57S638DW7/IMG_8846.PNG Blog - Giving Back, Porters' Rights and My Experience Climbing Kilimanjaro Summit photo of me in all my rented gear in 2006! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59f4dc5890bcce962f913383/1534402342752-W57JPS4X3S7GJZHX74WM/IMG_8848.PNG Blog - Giving Back, Porters' Rights and My Experience Climbing Kilimanjaro Orphanages can be boring!

They can be two feet in length and weigh up to 11 pounds. Their large body size is an adaptation to the cold, high elevation sites in which they live.
