This morning when we woke up it was raining and the temperature was 34°. We stayed snug and dry in our tiny tent. I think I will start a show that is called tiny tents. Maybe it will become a movement like the tiny houses. By the looks around me I don’t think the Californians […]

Second Birthday on the Trail
Before I start, a couple of things. We have very limited technology available at this time. So excuse the possible spellcheck from my voice translation into this document.

It’s Been a While
Foose Creek Colorado, CO July 29, 2005 Tim’s foot was not improved enough to hike before the Zerilli family vacation in July.
