Copper Breaks

I got a hall pass and spent the weekend in Copper Breaks to check out some dark sky…and then found myself in the middle of a star party!

The Covid Chronicles

We’ve been on lockdown for almost two months now. Spring is almost over, and hopefully so is the virus.

San Francisco

We said goodbye to Yosemite and hello to San Francisco. Although the return to civilization was bittersweet, today was full of new friends, new sights, and a potentially life changing decision.
