traveling
Snow Max
skiing is a dream
found in powdery wide slopes
in Colorado
Thermal Haven
what really matters
is that he enjoys hot springs
to fit in with us
A Bluebird Afternoon
so simple, really:
the teens play cabin boardgames
while we ski for love
Road Trip 2019: Day Eighteen, Ely
an Ely day trip
for a family pic, hike
a little shopping
Road Trip 2019: Day Seventeen, Red Sunrise
red sun, glassy lake
paddling with the puppy:
perfect lakehouse day
Road Trip 2019: Day Eight, Lake Superior
Superior beach:
like the ocean without salt
great for paddling
kite flying kids
will remember these beach days
so different than home
Road Trip 2019: Duluth, Day Seven
cycling is life
as we tour Duluth’s sights
from bridges to ships
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: North Dakota
i never listen
when someone says it’s boring
i always find fun
North Dakota wins
kindness, camping, paddling
and late-night sunsets
Earth lodge history
and indigenous genius
round out this cycle
with Art Deco touch
to capitalize the north
and give us this view
all in a day’s work:
this “boring” state makes dreams bright
campfires and all
