Today was too pretty to stay inside. After running wild at the park Luke came and laid beside me for a minute. Such a good boy.... sometimes! #dogslife #goldenretriever #goldenretrieverpuppy #lukethegolden #eaterofumbrellas #beautifulday #iphone8plus #nofilterApparently, the old #chromedome #umbrellas make good chew toys... #backpacking #hiking #dogproblems #goldenretrieverphotos #goldenretrieverproblems #chewtoys #frustratedLuke has been caught in the act... that poor sloth! #dogslife #poorsloth #goldenretrieverMy old @zpacks Hexamid Solo Plus tarp and Hexanet set up at 11,500 feet at the base of Mt Whitney near Guitar Lake. Right after setting up we had to break down and move.... the rangers asked us not to set up on the grass. Made for a nice shot though! #leavenotrace #zpacks #hexamid #cubenfiber #mtwhitney #jmt2018 #johnmuirtrail #guitarlake #imissthetrailThe Instapot really is a handy appliance! Just made homemade potato salad with it (after building pressure the potatoes and eggs were done in only 4 minutes!) It should go great with the New York Strips that have been marinating since last night! Can’t wait for dinner!! #instapot #potatosalad #rvlife #glamping #dinnerMy breakfast view this morning! #breakfastwithaview #rvlife #glamping- Follow Stick's Blog on WordPress.com
