Assortment
- The Beauty of Plan B
- This year, the seasons are changing fast and early above 7,000 feet. I realized that if I wanted to squeeze in one more high elevation hike before winter, I had better do it sooner rather than later.
- Prelude to Nemo
- This year, The Weather Channel started naming winter storms in an attempt to grant blizzards a degree of meteorological grit previously reserved for tropical cyclones.
- Ryerson Woods
- Ryerson Woods is among my favorite places to go for a walkâeven in January. And considering how horrible January can be in Chicagoland, that says a lot.
