On Winter Road Trips -Taos

On Winter Road Trips -Taos

Driving on empty highways in the American West is therapeutic. An unbound Lanscape dotted with the dreams of better things to come and the promises you make yourself of what you’ve learned along the way. There is nothing between you and destiny but an undulating black ribbon and your will to get it. On any day you can get in your car and drive somewhere different, somewhere far away, have a new…

Driving out of Los Angeles is an experience. There are really two routes east - take the main highways south of the San Gabriel mountains or take Newhall Pass, that separates the San Gabriels from the Santa Susana Mountains, and take the route north of the mountains. The former guarantees bumper-to-bumper traffic for 2 hours while the latter adds an 50 miles to the route but empty roads. We take the high-road. @atypicalcontent (at Palmdale, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvXYcN7lLLu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18glyrllwmdo4

On Skiing Kiroro

So after an epic January looking for the far-away places and less travelled areas, we decided that it would behoove us to visit Kiroro - and so we did.

Unusual Suspects

The morning started unlike any other for us. Snorting, scratching, clapping, and weezing kept on popping into my sleep and I could not understand why. “Oh, that’s right, I’m sleeping in a barn! – someone please hit the snooze button on the goats”. That’s how my skiing days in Kiroro started.

On Skiing Hokkaido

Just got back from Hokkaido and thought I'd share some of the adventure we had. Cheers!

Hokkai-Ode Flying Away from Niseko

Skiing Hokkaido is as much as physical experience as a state of mind. You start realizing it slowly as you get further away from the things you know. Driving on snowy roads on the “right” side, deciphering the place a convenience store should truly have in your life, and leaving your…

Fly Fishing Patagonia

Spring Melt on the Rio Limay

The Andes around Baroliche have innumerable hike-to fishing opportunities. But most require some local knowledge and most commonly a guide. We prefer to travel alone and find our own way even if it means less fish. (See our story on Northeast Brazil). The beauty for us is in the search. Our MO in Patagonia is to rent a car and travel the…

Argentina

Nahuel Huapi Lake

MC and I have had a decade-long love affair with Argentina. We’ve gone to the far northern Bolivian border, south into Tierra del Fuego and Ushuaia, and visited Buenos Aires many times. And each time we visit we come back with a new adventure or story to tell. During our last Patagonia fly fishing trip we heard stories of a plague of biblical proportions that…
