The Clearing
Emerging from a dark forest into a clearing. The yurt for the summer, a Father's Day call, and a deliberate day with no power. New entry, live on Substack now.

Field Guides
Oprah in Telluride: new guide, 15 chapters
Fact-checking the rumors: the real square footage (not 50,000), the sea-level-pressurization claim that has no source anywhere, and the hiking easements that keep her land open to the public.
2026-06-21
Field Guides
Telluride: new guide, 15 chapters
A name with no real tellurium behind it, Butch Cassidy's first bank robbery, the 1891 AC power experiment that helped win the Niagara Falls contract, and why the free gondola doesn't go to the summit.
2026-06-21
Field Guides
Pioneer DJS-1000: new guide, 15 chapters
The CDJ-shaped sampler that's secretly a different Pioneer product in a costume, no battery despite looking portable, and the EU energy law that forced a firmware rename in 2024.

A Hike to Clear Lake
An e-bike ride to Clear Lake turns into a 5-mile hike on foot after a flat tire 1.5 miles in. Made it to 12,000 feet anyway, with drone footage and a rescue ride from strangers. Chasing the Butter.

Fixing a bike tire, Wilson Peak's beer-can fame, and what makes a video worth watching. New entry, live on Substack now.
2026-06-18
Field Guides
Wilson Peak: new guide, 13 chapters
The mountain on the Coors Light can is real: a 14,023-foot peak southeast of Telluride. The brewery, the founder who stowed away on a ship, the beer that couldn't be sold east of the Mississippi for most of a century, and the mountain that turned blue.
2026-06-17
Roads
The Glasses
The Meta glasses finally unboxed: super dorky, portrait-only, but the audio surprised me. New entry, live on Substack now.

2026-06-14
Roads
The Yurt
Moving into a yurt, mostly for the deck view. Uninstalling Starlink from the van, dozens of trips down the path, a long-overdue gear inventory after two years on the road, and a sunset that made it all worth it. New entry, live on Substack now.
2026-06-14
Field Guides
Salt & Sodium: new guide, 13 chapters
The pink Himalayan salt sodium myth, why "84 trace minerals" barely matters, the sodium-potassium pump that may run a fifth of your resting energy budget, the J-shaped curve in the low-sodium debate, and why almost none of the world's salt ends up on a table.
2026-06-13
Field Guides
Yurts: new guide, 13 chapters
Where the word actually comes from (it's not "tent"), the folding lattice wall and the ring at the top that holds the whole roof up with no center post, wind and snow ratings, and the two unrelated Americans who each reinvented it after seeing the same magazine.
2026-06-13

The Burn Zone
Buffalo on the way in. Then the burn zone. The Grand Lodge is gone, both sides of the road scorched. Our campsite was spared. 10 nights, full setup. Last night: e-bike into the trails.

The Volume
Nobody around means music at real volume. The DJ gear question. Biked the rim trail to a spectacular viewpoint. 12% battery. Plotting a system for the drone footage.

The Oil That Isn't
Vegetable oil sounds like something from a garden. That assumption was not an accident. It was engineered.

It's Just a Feature
North Rim. Awake at 5am, two hours of thinking. Twenty days out from the last supply run. Thinking about the people I love.

New single from Chasing the Butter. On how the thing you may think is "the thing" may simply be a feature.

Taxiing
North Rim. New campsite, better view. Roasted garlic in the coals. The diesel heater is acting up. And the runway is longer than expected.
2026-05-18
Roads
The Foreign Visitor
North Rim. Arrived. 40mph wind on the canyon edge. A critter ate the potatoes. A feeling showed up at sunset that took until morning to name.

Into the North Rim
Jacob Lake. Packing up and heading into the backcountry. The music is flowing. The battery is at 7%. Adventure time.

The Walkie Talkie
Jacob Lake. Woke to a dream voice on the walkie talkie. Slept through Route 67 opening. Crystal Light solves the electrolyte taste. North Rim tomorrow. On waking into a life you love, and getting more careful about sharing location in real time.
2026-05-14

Butter Weather
Jacob Lake. Electrolyte loading phase. Solved a months-long Starlink drop issue. Moths explained: mating season, one week to live. Shannon cooks in the coals overnight. Battery at 20% and counting on the sun.
2026-05-13
Roads
The Moths
Jacob Lake. Three-hour Kanab run. Electrolyte potion: salty stagnant pond water. Bug-a-salt gunfight vs. four moths; Shannon's tupperware strategy is probably better. Game camera first test. Three more nights, then the North Rim.
2026-05-12
Roads
Practicing My Love
Jacob Lake. 5:15am, Kanab-bound. Built a music visualizer system, then Signal bugs burned through two days of Claude compute. Three van modes: stealth, monk, full glory. Things work better with a lighter touch. I call it practicing my love.

SIGNAL update
AI Caller now has three personalities: Logical, Playful, and Cryptic. Clues now go through a second validation pass to catch trap associations before you see them. Clue explanations no longer read like audit reports. Word pool expanded to ~480 words.

Jacob Lake
Shannon's 4x4 exit: drone, GoPro, walkie talkies, the works. Drove 4,000 feet up to Jacob Lake. Climbed the lookout tower. Ordered a game camera. The mysterious 2:55am footsteps finally made the case.
2026-05-08

SIGNAL

Roads
The Heat
Last morning at the canyon. 100 degrees in the van, UV 9, nowhere to hide. Found the adapter under the mattress after a week of searching. At some point I rode five miles around the canyon rim completely naked on the OneWheel and got drone footage of it. That felt like an awful lot of freedom in one act.
2026-05-08
Roads
The Shower
Greg's last night. Shannon walked back to his site in the dark with a headlamp and rode the bike home. A teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt in each liter and the leg cramps cleared up. Four months in and still learning. The drone footage here is some of the best I've ever gotten.
2026-05-07
Roads
The Rope
950 feet down to the water. A blue rope anchored by a stranger, a two-foot ledge, a boulder that bowed out from the wall. The moment I realized there was only one way out. Two reckonings with mortality in 24 hours.
2026-05-06
Fix
ISM: stronger prompt following, duplicate branch display
Generation now treats the reader's seed prompt as a required destination rather than a suggestion. When two branches share an opening sentence, the display expands to show a second sentence so they can be told apart.
2026-05-06
Roads
The Wind
Wind howling, van shaking, eight feet from the edge of a 950-foot cliff. Making peace with it. The energy cost of moving camp. The view you never get used to. Walkie talkies.
2026-05-05

The Spot
Days of coveting the truck camper's spot. Hard drive saga finally done, DJ gear running. Then the guy moved. Ninety minutes later, the most memorable campsite I've been in.

The Condors
Three California Condors circled for five minutes, close enough to hear the air. Wind packs up camp. The talking head video you haven't made yet and the vulnerability hangover that comes after. 54 cents a gallon.
2026-05-03
New
Infinite Story Machine
A collaborative story machine that grows when people read it. Three worlds live here. A man who collects regrets. A motivational speaker who doesn't believe a word she says. A town that stopped celebrating birthdays. Read a branch or write what happens next.
2026-05-03

The Footsteps
950 feet down to the Colorado. Watching a truck camper for the chance to steal the ultimate spot. 40mph winds incoming. And those 2:55am footsteps definitely weren't Greg.

The Podcast
$803 and worth it. New canyon that looks like the Grand Canyon's lesser-known cousin. Greg, who has cracked the North Rim. Full moon rising perfectly across the canyon. Spent an hour listening to what I thought was Shannon's podcast. It was my own phone.
2026-05-01

The Gum
Last morning at the epic campsite. Shannon gave me a pack of gum, which felt like the greatest luxury. Then: seven miles of rough dirt, Costco, forty gallons of diesel, and a 50-point turn on the edge of a cliff.

The Eagle
Last night at the most epic campsite. Bald eagle maybe overhead. Jackrabbits, rattlesnakes, elk prints down the trail. The prickly pear smells like perfumey cucumber.
