(Life in a Hippy Van) We threw in the sport weeny towel and geared up for some granite crack climbing, a quest we don’t take on very often.

A Week on Crack
Sierra Designs Mantra Fusion
(The Out Post) The Women’s Mantra Fusion Jacket by Sierra Designs aims to keep you dry with numerous rain repelling features, lightweight structure, and zippered underarm ventilation. This was evident as I happened to first wear the jacket during a few days of scattered heavy spring rains and rampant flood warnings.

The comfort and discomfort of probability
(CompassPointsMedia.com) My hiking partner, Jason, who slept 20 yards away in his own tent, had told me earlier in the day the way he dealt with moments like these is to ponder, like weathermen, about probabilities.“I just think about how it’s statistically unlikely we would suffer injury or worse while backpacking,” he had said.
