An “end of season” night paddle from OTD in 2022, featuring some “dream-like” photos.
I took this photo—my most favorite “recent” photo of my dad—one year ago today. Damn I miss this smile so fucking much.

Sometimes you just need a little nap after a swim.
The center of attention
When an adventure awaits you just out the front door.
Just give me a dirt road and a Joshua tree and I’ll be happy. (On This Day in 2018)
A project I’d like to tackle in early spring 2026 is a Walk Across Phoenix—from one edge of the city limits across to the other—an urban trek of over 50 miles. I’m still in the early phases of pondering what it could look like, so send suggestions!
My friend @pmount@onephoto.club just wrapped up an interesting “freighter cruise” trip in British Columbia. Had never heard of these:
With Marine Link Tours, cruise the inland waterways of coastal BC on the magical MV Aurora Explorer! Our 135-foot landing craft transports heavy equipment & freight as you enjoy rugged coastal scenery & abundant sea life. The ship’s chef will prepare first class meals while you experience the ambience of small group cruising and visit working logging camps, remote villages and other unique coastal destinations.

I hiked the Hidden Canyon Trail in Zion National Park On This Day in 2014—complete with the same vista, same tree trunk, same ASU hat 😂 from a 2002 hike.
Earth Roulette: a random destination picker for your next trip. (Maybe we’ll try this next year instead of letting the internet randomly choose our road trip destination).
After trying to find a chicken stew recipe online, Brandon bought a cookbook, noting:
There was a time when the internet was superior (or at least it felt that way) than books. But with the amount of misinformation and SEO/AI trash online, I feel like trusting a book for my information is the better deal these days. It cuts down on the clutter and gets things back to the basics. In a way, it’s much easier than the internet, which is funny because having all of this information at our fingertips was supposed to be easy.
Agreed. I’ve returned to travel guidebooks over blog posts and social media.
On This Day ten years ago, we finished up the second day of a “top down” Zion Narrows backpacking trip.
Jen & I are again participating in the 2024 Coffeeneuring Challenge, which starts today!
Here’s what that entails:
- between October 6 through November 18, 2024,
- ride your bike 7 times,
- to at least 6 different places (you can repeat 1!)
- at least 2 miles round trip every time,
- drink 7 total cups of coffee (or another fall-type beverage), and
- document your coffeeneuring (either photos, Strava tracks, journal entries, control card, etc.) just in case the Coffeeneuring Challenge Committee and the ever-striving Intern ever conduct an audit.
Sounds fun, right? Come join us!
