Pere Marquette and a Ceremony

ByBobby Kearan April 18, 2022July 18, 2026

So, we had a great weekend getaway in a nice cabin. I managed to do some hiking… and then we went out to Fort Belle Fontaine and did a handfasting ceremony! Complete with an Eagle soaring overhead! It was really cool.

Grotpeter Trail
ByBobby Kearan January 23, 2022

I went to hike somewhere new – but somewhere close as well – and Castlewoods State Park is about the closest moderate hike there is. I didn’t actually want to do my normal Lone Wolf attack-the-hill-first hike, although I don’t think I have a good video on it yet, so I looked on AllTrails for…

Bell Mountain – Up and Back Again
ByBobby Kearan May 1, 2022

A Travel Blog entry …. Okay, so nothing as long and complex as The Lord of The Rings, nor A Hobbit’s Tale, but it was a grueling (for me) 5 mile hike up a mountain. Then an awesome evening and night spent on top – cooked my first meal (boiled the water for my first…

Matson Hill 2nd Chance Hike | Old Trails, New Trails & Creek Crossings in the Missouri Heat
ByBobby Kearan June 29, 2026July 11, 2026

First attempt at Matson Hill? Wrong trailhead, wrong trails — ended up on the bike-heavy sections and it just wasn’t the vibe. Second attempt? Completely different story. I found the right trailhead this time, and the hiker-friendly trails on this side are something else entirely. A mix of well-worn old trails and freshly built new…

Lewis and Clark Redux
ByBobby Kearan August 21, 2021

Yeah, I finally got the chance to go back and try this tough trail again. I learned from the last one and did make this hike a lot easier. Here is the video: Those STAIRS, man. You gotta watch to see what I am talking about. Anyway, in an effort to motivate myself to hike…
