A year and a half or so ago, my mother-in-law announced that she’d always wanted to visit Finnish Lapland, but that she didn’t know anyone who’d want to go with her. It’s too cold there, everyone around her in Milwaukee kept saying, and anyway, why Finland?

Quick selfie break, then back to trying to keep up with @jayneshreds ✌️
The Firewalkers are on the move! After 4 very awesome years in Boise, we’re heading north again. Bix just accepted a job (his dream job!) as a professor of outdoor studies at Alaska Pacific University. Anchorage, heading your way in early August! 🎉
When @bixfirer and I decided to officially start spending most of our time together almost exactly 9 years ago I don’t think either of us would have dreamed we’d someday own a boat, let alone, like, a house or a bank account with more than $12 in it. I guess growing up takes many forms and I’m very glad this is ours. Swipe for perfect angel boy dog bc it’s not fair if I only post one of them
Spent a long, lazy weekend on one of my favorite stretches of river with old and new friends. Also, Rooster’s first river trip and I think she gets it
A gals-only weekend with my bestie in the San Juans was exactly what the doctor ordered for me. Thanks @ennaalegna for good company, great camp cocktails, and having a sharp eye out for the “exciting predators” we were promised in the guidebook. Also, not to brag, but we saw porpoises 💅🏻
