Arrowhead Lake Revisited
Prior to last week, I’d been to Arrowhead Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park twice. Here is a link to my post several years ago. The first time I got lost and by the time I got to the lake I had no time to fish. The second time I brought my two sons. We…
Lawn and Crystal Lakes in RMNP
I took a chance to go to Big Crystal in the first week of July. With its elevation and how the lake is tucked against the cliffs, I worried that there would still be a lot of snow. But I wasn’t expecting all the ice. It put a bit of a damper on the fishing…
Producing Gil Audiobook
I’m thrilled to have Ray Kallai narrate the audiobook of Gil: Some Gifts Come with a Price. Hear what he had to say about the book. It’ll be out on Audible any day! Gil Video Or, here is the audio.
Lost Lake and Lake Husted
Last week we did our second hike in RMNP, going to Lost, then Husted. I’m not sure why they call it Lost Lake, it should be Long Lake, not because the lake is long, but the hike is unbearably long. Round trip it was 23 miles. We started hiking at 6:30 am and got back…
The Vintage Club Coming to Audible
Today I finalized the contract with narrator Mark Nelson to turn The Vintage Club into an audio book. It will be sold exclusively through Audible. We’re hoping to have everything finalized and available on Audible by October 2020. I’ve been listening to Audible’s History of Bourbon, and the second chapter has some great medieval stories…
Update on Audible Release of Gil
My narrator, Ray Kallai, just finished the recording and it is all submitted to Audible. It sounds like Audible is a bit behind because of everyone working from home, and we are hoping that they can finalize the audio book within the month. In the meantime, we wait and start rolling out our marketing plan.…
Gil on Audible
After numerous requests, I finally decided to release Gil on Audible. It is now in production and should be completed within six weeks. As soon as it is finished, Audible should upload the production and then it will be ready for a listen. I’ll keep posting any updates. There are so many parallels with Gil’s…
Crystal Lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park
Last week I completed by fourth hike in Rocky Mountain National Park this summer. I decided to try the Crystal Lakes. I’ve been to Lawn Lake before, but never tacked on the next two miles to get to Crystal. Being only two weeks away from my marathon, I figured I’d be in good enough shape…
Hutcheson Lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park
Despite having been to Pear Lake twice, I’d never made the journey to the Hutcheson Lakes. This was likely because Pear Lake is seven miles from the Finch Lake trail head, and then the Hutcheson Lakes are three more miles from there. Plus, there isn’t a trail. Since I needed to long training day for…
