Appreciation post for the beauty of the mountains and the freedom they give my soul. Also appreciate the many shenanigans with people visiting my mountains and replenishing their souls too. And, Bob.

Virgie on the Rocks | Feel Good Friday 122223
Impossibly, I am now the (part) owner of a lil miner’s cabin in Idaho Springs, Colorado. I *could not* be happier. It is perfect. It is epic. I love it. I want to hug the cabin itself (and almost could). I want to hug the view, but simultaneously fling my arms wide because I couldn’t…
cuatro mexicos | feel good friday 120922
!Y feliz cumpleanos a mi amiga de la aventura! My last Mexico trip of 2022 brought me to the beautiful if touristy Cabo San Lucas, Mexico … where I got to swim with schools of fish and snorkel with a sea lion! I ate on of the best meals of my life at Manta, which…
Obsession: 100% Recycled Down from Patagonia
100% Recycled Down! How cool is this?? Patagonia has created their signature jackets and vests with recycled down. It’s a mix of 600-fill-power goose and duck down reclaimed from used items (mostly quilts and pillows), which is cleaned, sorted and resurrected. It offers identical performance benefits to virgin down. As if I wasn’t obsessed with…
I Fell in Love with a Cabin | Feel Good Friday 102816 | BestSpuds 3.0
You guys, I know I’ve fallen in love before—with Lake Tahoe over the 4th of July two years ago, with Lake Ear or whatever it’s called in Sandpoint, Idaho—but this time it’s really real. I am in love with a cabin. On Aspen Mountain. That you get to by riding in the back of a pickup…
Idaho, Part 2 | Feel Good Friday 100215
Last weekend’s trip to Idaho was mind-bogglingly perfect. Literally everything went right. We packed a ton of fun stuff into one long weekend, but the most amazing part of the trip was the people: five near-strangers (Bromance and I already had a, well, bromance) became instant best friends (#bestspuds). From the moment the guys picked…
Idaho, You Gotta Go (Idaho, Part 1)
This is real life. #nofilter More reasons to go to Idaho: Go to Idaho: Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced: pond-ə-ray) Deer Ridge Lookout in the Purcell mountain range Small House Winery Eichardt’s. I hear they have a great salad (get the garlic fries). Trinity at City Beach. I call it Tripity, ok? P.A.T.I.O.
Aspen <3 <3 <3 | Feel Good Friday 082815
I’m back home (one of ’em anyway) for the wedding of yet another couple I successfully set up! I can’t wait to watch these two get married in the beautiful mountains. I’ve been here for a few days, and there’s just no place in the world like Aspen.
Festival Summer in Telluride
It’s hard to leave Aspen. Which must explain why in the three summers I’ve spent in Aspen, I’ve never made it to Telluride. However, nestled in the very-different-from-the-Rockies San Juan Mountains, Telluride (elevation: 8,750 ft.) lies in a box canyon, surrounded on three sides by 14,000-foot peaks, which makes for something awesome. Plus it connects to…
