The Perma Grin has not yet left feeble ilg’s old and well weathered (some may say leathered) face since my daughter clipped the final anchor of ‘Pork Sushi’… a 5.10A technical rock climbing route on one of ilgs fav childhood Dakota sandstone pinnacles nestled within the now famous Sailing Hawks bouldering (and mountain biking) […]

With 15 miles of trails under […]
when it finally sunk into feeble ilgs last few brain cells still knocking boots up in that precious hemisphere we know as the Skull that Dewa was literally gonna Be Here Now back in Durango? Alongside ilg? My former Shadow returning from the months long darkness of Her at college 1,205 miles away? Reckon it was […]
Wildflowers bloss(om)! (5) Sacred Snow? Now, sacred streams! (7) Waterfalls within!
