Ruminations...: Fighting for the Ice Age Trail and Stewardship
http://ruminationdave.blogspot.com/2015/05/fighting-for-ice-age-trail-and.html
Monday, May 25, 2015. Fighting for the Ice Age Trail and Stewardship. Along the way I blogged about my adventures, entertaining readers with stories and whatever else floated into my head. I snapped 1500 photos, the quality of the shots improving each day. Two months of hiking through the glacial terrain of Wisconsin helped me discover my voice for writing and eye for photography. Both skills have continually been put to use since the hike, personally and professionally. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, April 7, 2013. Wisconsin Winter Waterfall Waltz - Trailer. Here's the much anticipated trailer for the Wisconsin Winter Waterfall Waltz. Barry and I set out to document the awesomeness of the waterfalls that had fallen under the spell of winter. It was a blast, but the spell was strong - not everything went as planned.

Ruminations...: April 2015

Thursday, April 2, 2015. While attending Canoecopia in Madison a few weeks back, I caught a sneak peak of the soon-to-be released documentary from Mary Catterlin and Amy Lukas. If you aren’t familiar with the duo, they hollowed out a cottonwood log – and sailed it around Lake Michigan. No small feat. What has this climb done for OTHERS? Absolutely nothing." These commenters couldn't have been further from the truth. Caldwell and Jorgenson spent years slowly working towards their goal. They didn't do ...

Monday, December 17, 2012. Hiking with a Ghost (and a Brad): 65 miles on the Border Route Trail. It was Tuesday, October 23, just over a day from the start of a hike of the Border Route Trail and I had nothing ready. My gear, both probable and luxury items, was strewn about Brad’s house, waiting to find the “take” or “leave” pile. I had experience going on a multi-day backpacking trip, but I forget to keep track of what I brought so I have to start from scratch each trip. Needless to say that did not hap...

Thursday, January 29, 2015. Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder. I’m sick of girls just seeing me as a piece of meat, only focusing on my looks. Why can’t they look past my beautiful, deep, hazel eyes and see who I am on the inside? The actual inside of my eyeballs. Not so sexy anymore, huh? When someone says beauty is only skin deep, believe them. It’s true. Thursday, January 22, 2015. But I fail to write (seems ironic in a blog). I want to be a photographer! But I fail to put in the effort. At this st...

Ruminations...: March 2013

Thursday, March 28, 2013. In Defense of Winter. The beauty of spring. Winter, on the other hand, provides the base for life in Wisconsin. The snows replenish the lakes and rivers. The cold gives the trees a chance to rest from the furious growth of summer. And people get a break from yard work, mosquitos, black flies and ticks (are people really that excited to feel the sting of a mosquito or dig a tick out of their leg? The majesty of winter.

Tuesday, March 10, 2015. An Ode to Friendship. I went to school (for a few years at least) in Madison, building a raft of good friends through parties and chance encounters. As we aged, they moved further from downtown, into larger apartments and then into houses. Marriages, dogs and children followed, pushing my usual weeknight drinking and weekend concert routine to their periphery. Picking the kid up from daycare replaced happy hour drinks. My evenings changed on Valentine’s Day 2014. A girl...The lau...

Monday, January 14, 2013. Best Pics of 2012. Here are my favorite pics of the last year. I didn't travel as far as I did 2011, but I still managed to have a decent year. Not all the photos are great, but they remind of a fun moment or weekend. Enjoy! Monday, January 7, 2013. A Cold Welcome to 2013. The popple was soundly ablaze so I added a few pieces of ash from the woodpile next to the stove. I closed the stove door, sat down on the chair in front of the stove and turned off my headlamp. A Cold Welcome...
