This winter one of my friends and mentors from the Marines killed himself. I was already in a dark spot at the time where I was drinking too much and being a hermit. I was going to quit drinking the day I found out but instead turned into a blubbering mess and drank a bottle of scotch. That was almost two months ago and I...

Every time I take a step forward I end up taking two steps back. This might be my deepest hole yet. I'm living in the valley of the shadow of death...again. I need to be surrounded by wildness and fresh air.
It would have been a good day to go out and wander around taking pictures, but it's also a good day to stay in and watch movies. Until the beer runs out anyway.
I picked up a second job burning wood piles of dead and diseased trees. We usually drink beer all day while we are doing it. Well today my "foreman" convinced me to go to the bar afterwards, and I woke up an hour ago wondering how the hell I got home and what the hell happened at the bar. Don't black out before 5pm, it's...

I'm just glad I didn't drive home, and apparently one of my bartenders is now trying to seduce me. Whoever said nothing good ever came from blacking out?
I really want to believe that the universe is like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
These pictures are mostly from the Yaak, Glacier National Park, the Lochsa River, Lake Kookanusa, and the Rocky Mountain Front. This was last year from April-May, I was having a rough time adjusting so I took these really long road trips across the state and into Idaho finding places to get lost. On one trip going to the Yaak I picked up two french girls who had come in from Canada to wander around the US. I was pretty worried about them because I picked them up on one of the roughest Indian Reservations in the state and they had no phone or method of self defense and were barely 18. Crazy chicks on an awesome adventure. I hope things worked out for them. I was looking for grizzlies on that trip, or any cool creatures for that matter, but couldn't even find a trace of one. Hopefully this year I will get a glimpse and maybe a photo or two, elusive and majestic creatures.

beautiful pics!!
I started my half sleeve over a year ago and I only have the first part done. Now I have all of these other ideas for tattoos and no money for any of it. Hopefully now that I am working a second job I will be able to at least be able to finish what I started and maybe afford a tribute to a mentor...

If anyone has some I could sure use a little. Two jobs and no sleep is not my idea of a good time.

Why didn't I think of putting carpet on the door for my fur baby? Great idea
I usually put up pictures of my adventures but this one was at night in a snowstorm so pictures were pretty much out of the question.
My good friend pulled me out of my apartment where I've more or less been holed up in for a couple of days to take me on a mystery adventure. I'm pretty stoked I have a friend like her...

These are from my trip accross the state for my friend's mom's funeral. That's the cabin we stayed in overnight. There was practically no snow the day before, quite the wake up! I also had a couple of days before I needed to get back to work so I did a big loop stopping at my old ski hill to slay some fresh powder then visit my family in another part of the state (all the sunset pics).
I got bored and started looking through some of the random pictures I took of being on my fire lookout and hiking around, figured I would share some of the magnificence that I have seen. Hopefully soon I will be able to get a real camera that can better capture the things I see. All of these are taken on my phone so I apologize for the grainy and badly focused photos, still some gems in there though.
