A film by Dave Hartman, Matt Perpick & Adam Biehler.
Seems like it’s video week. I’m a big fan of David Hartman’s work as a videographer. His company Hayfire Media has made some beautiful Canadian adventure documentaries. This is his latest work about cabin life in Algonquin’s backcountry.
After watching this amazing video today by Goh Iromoto, I knew I had to share. It features the legendary Ray Mears as he paddles his way through Northern Ontario in Wabakimi Provincial Park. I have always respected and admired Ray Mears and have learned a great deal from his books and videos. Definitely got me excited for the upcoming paddling season. Enjoy.
Richmond under 6 inches of snow
I ventured out with my friends Min and Ronan, to Shenandoah National Forest on the last day of January. We decided to take on the Robertson Mountain Trail which starts near the base of Old Rag Mountain. We left Richmond at 7:00am and began our hike at 9:30am. It was a chilly day at 22 degrees F and a solid 5 inches of snow covering the mountain. The view at the top was well worth it. This trip may have opened doors to future winter camping excursions.
Home sweet home. Wishing a happy holiday season to our family and friends. Only a few more months until paddling season.
A summer stroll through Church Hill. Dinner at The Hill Cafe
An inch of snow in Richmond is enough to shut everything down. It got unusually cold one winter weekend in 2013. The James River tried to freeze over, but not quite ready for skating.
We escape the city for a friend’s wedding in Charlottesville. We stopped by on the way home to Pippin Hill Farm and Vineyard.
