Steve Meurett-Writing with Light. Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Backpacking the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness. 8220;Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity.”. 8213; John Muir. I believe Muir was correct in his opinion that “wilderness is a necessity” A break from our “civilized” world, a chance to be in a place that time has not changed, our ancestral. Roots so to speak. As with all good trips, a plan...

Steve Meurett-Writing with Light. Monday, May 4, 2015. The (Almost) Grand Slam. There is a “ Grand Slam. Arriving early in the morning, Kris had the boat ready and Uncle Dan started in with jokes that had the kids eyes rolling. A prettier sunrise you won't find and glass flat water greeted us as we slipped the bounds of the break wall. My friend John Merreck joined us-a consulate inland fisherman, who loves to dabble in this big lake thing from time to time. Smaller boat for the “ Corkscrew,. Hours passe...

On-TheEdge: August 2015
http://on-theedge.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Steve Meurett-Writing with Light. Saturday, August 8, 2015. Faces of the Games. Through countless interviews for TV coverage, newspaper stories, online pieces and social media, the athletes shared their lives with the world. Smiles, high fives, hugs, ribbons and medals were their reward for hard work and dedication to their sport. I think the joy in what they've accomplished can be reflected in their faces-pride in themselves and for everyone who has supported them. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

On-TheEdge: April 2014
http://on-theedge.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Steve Meurett-Writing with Light. Sunday, April 6, 2014. April 5th-not a date one is really supposed to be still riding in snow. But as recent memory recalls, last year was even more unusual-the first turkey season found me slogging thru six inches of snow in search of the big “V” of a tom turkey-few were found. But this year-come on, really? So many days of record minus 30 and deep snow that seemed to never end (not that I mind that! Saturday, April 5, 2014. Arndt Road/Ram, Sunrise. A Moment to Reflect.

Steve Meurett-Writing with Light. Wednesday, January 14, 2015. Participants are asked to complete a track training course, attend a wolf ecology class sponsored by the DNR, Timber Wolf Alliance or TWIN, complete a mammal test and conduct a minimum of three surveys submitting their results per guidelines to the DNR. Coyotes are ever more present and jumping in and out of the truck to check their prints and document them is quite a task. It's when there is something. Wiley E. Coyote. Sometimes it's a matte...

On-TheEdge: April 2015
http://on-theedge.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Steve Meurett-Writing with Light. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. This spring exploded out of the door just 2 days after snowcover welcomed snowshoes and skis in early March. Pow! It arrived. Sure, we had a few stubborn snows after that, but in truth, we knew spring was winning the good fight. As such, any open mountain bike trail in the state is going gang busters and Levis Mound, ( www.levismound.com. True) but to be honest, I wish I still had the horsepower to keep up. It is what it is. “ Next. They all work...

Steve Meurett-Writing with Light. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Blog: noun 1. a website containing a writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other websites.

Today, I really only care if one person reads this. Lem and I hit it off from the beg...

http://on-theedge.blogspot.com/2015/03/ice-caves-of-wedges-creek.html
Steve Meurett-Writing with Light. Thursday, March 5, 2015. Ice “Caves” of Wedges Creek. Has always been my thought. Cross country skiing and fatbiking tend to fill my winter schedule, but when the really. It's now March and winter is quickly waining with 40s expected next week. The season wasn't quite done yet and would hit us with a couple more days of just single digits. Fresh snow had fallen and I had the urge to explore a new area by snowshoe and see what other living things had been up to. Wedges Cr...

Spinning Straw Into Gold. Life in New England: Quirky ramblings from a new arrival in New England. Sunday, March 22, 2009. One of my daughter's friends said to us, "You're the kind of people I can feel comfortable talking with about, um, anti-oxidants! I considered that a compliment. The hotel used to provide dinners four times a week. It has been reduced to three, and one includes menu descriptions like cookies and milk! We cozied up to the hospitality director and actually talked her into chicken and b...
