ABOUT
We downsized, quit our jobs, shed a ton of worldly possessions, and are living in Central Oregon’s high desert on the east side of the Cascade mountains. We are Jack, JQ, and Tip the border collie.
Our days are spent exploring streams, wilderness areas and geological marvels, this blog is focused on those excursions.
It’s not #retirementlife, #flyfishing, #outdoors, or even #bordercolliesareawesome … but a bit of all that, just from our point of view.
This pretty much sums up what you’ll find in these posts, along with some discussion about cooking and dining sprinkled in. We hope you will find it entertaining, even useful. And if you do please leave a comment, Thanks!
