2019 according to The Amazing Sleeping Man

Wow, what a year!  I can not believe we were able to cram two-months of activities into twelve months.  Yep, pretty slow year here, not sure where it went but I know it was not adrenaline-filled.

A wild trek for the last wild shots

  Last Saturday, Seb and I hiked up to the Fisher research site we’ve been caring for to dismantle it and bring back all the equipment. It was pleasantly warm–the mid-50s F–but rainy, so we were in rain pants and jackets most of the way. There was still quite a bit of snow on the…
