Road Trip 2019: Day Eighteen, Ely

an Ely day trip

for a family pic, hike

a little shopping

Road Trip 2019: Day Fourteen, Lake House Life

morning adventures:

the kayaks’ gentle lilting

through freshwater lake

Road Trip 2019: Day Thirteen, Minneapolis–The North Woods

a tornado scare

led to this downtown hassle

with a sparkling Vista

delayed flight gave time

for a capitol your

offering domed wealth

my man has arrived

for our drive to the North Woods

where water saves all

Road Trip 2019: Day Twelve, CycleLife

miles of mansions,

waterfront owned by city,

planning perfection

cycling throughout

with restaurants in most parks?

happiness, designed

lakes and waterfalls

even a creek for a dip

could you ask for more?

Road Trip 2019: Day Six, Gitchi Gami

you haven’t ridden

over the Rockies; not yet.

Superior wins.

with a pup and girls

(unread itinerary)

we biked thirty clicks

Minnesota wins

for elevation record

on these little legs

and to end it all:

waterfall, campfire, cheese.

who would ask for s’more?

Road Trip 2019: Dakotas, Day Two

from flat Dakota

emerges a river trail

hard on legs and kids

but water wins views

however it meanders

giving life to all

The Golden Gate

just one hour out

you can shed your city life

for backpacking dreams

Pre-de-Bugging

our netted hammock:

plan for mosquito summer

in Minnesota

Spring Forward

words have been long gone

too many pics and lives lived

since when i last wrote

Seasonal Adore Disorder

a cloud beneath us–

powder day brings heaven home

as flakes float our love
