June thru September 1985 right before I was born, Mom (Kelly) spent 4 months of her pregnancy alone in the Pinyon Peak lookout tower in the Salmon-Challis National Forest of Idaho. Just she and unborn me, and Harley the big black dog. Halfway thru the summer my dad and his friends, helitech wildland firefighters that summer, gave her a kitten which she named PK (Pinyon Kitty). They delivered her food by helicopter once every few weeks. Her job was to scan the landscape day and night, especially if she heard thunder, and look for smoke. No wifi, no phones, no television. Just a baby in her belly, wood to chop, and plenty of windy mountain air. I asked her recently if she got lonely, and her response was, sure, but she really enjoyed the long naps. “And did you get scared?” “No, never. Not out there, there were no humans to harm me and the mountains were my friends.” 40 years later and the most peaceful feeling for me in the world is this very experience. Watching the night sky, totally alone, in howling wind, with a big black dog (@baloointhewild). #happymothersday

*CALL FOR SUPPORT* When Maria and her cousins flagged me down off the highway, it was a bit to their disappointment that I was not indeed the Red Cross who they’d been waiting for, for days. The land in their community outside Medanales, NM had just been washed out under their feet after the Rio Chama jumped its banks and completely flooded the area. That arroyo you see in these photos? It wasn’t there before. It was land, with soil and grass. Trailers were moved, cars burried or taken down river, homes are teetering on the edge. “This has been a wake up call,” Maria said. “This kind of flooding hasn’t happened in decades but will probably be happening more. And what we’ve realized most is it’s pretty much up to us to take care of this situation ourselves, for our families and each other, at the moment. Not a lot of help has come yet.” Maria, myself, Jacob and Matthew spent the better part of the afternoon digging out access to their drinking water well valves, turning it off to prevent water loss and contaminated back flooding. They are trying to restore drinking water access for Maria’s mom across the new arroyo. Despite the seriousness of the situation, the laughter and shit talking and joy was all time, and it was such a great day for new friendships. I do believe the government of New Mexico is indeed mobilizing a plan, as there’s a lot of flooding emergencies around the whole state, so there will be some action. But if you are compelled, immediate support is needed. I’m collecting funds (please DM me for info) and sending every dollar directly to Maria’s family. If you have experience or resources in a greater capacity to help with cleanup and rebuild, DM me and I can put you in touch with the right people. ♥️

Anyone else trying to better regulate themselves with the sun and night cycles? One interesting thing I’ve noticed during this experiment is we as earthly creatures (human bodies) used to pay a lot more attention to the ever cyclical nature of the universe and its way more fun when we do. I’ll let you know if it fixes any of my problems but in the mean time I’m like whoa we can feel the time of day or the seasons in our bellies if we don’t spend so much time on our phones. And it’s easier to notice how all plants and animals do too (obviously I guess) but I really enjoy feeling like I’m witnessing and listening to the grand orchestra of the living world as it’s happening like it’s a CONCERT TOGETHER WITH MY ANIMAL FRIENDS! 🥳 And not just on my headphones alone in my head, which is what it feels like to stare at one’s own tiny handheld computer. #thisismybrainonnature

Last vestiges of fall and our first winter storms below Mt Sneffels 14,150ft. This spikey peaked beauty has a special place in our hearts and is the namesake peak for the third @TinCupWhiskey 14 year collection. Cool that this release also directly supports trail work with @colorado14rsinitiative which we personally got to spend time with on a 14er this past year. #MountainWhiskey #partner
