"May I go to the bathroom?" This was my ticket, my ticket to freedom. Did I use my hall pass to go to the nearest bathroom at school? No, of course not. I took my own little adventure, I hopped gates and fences to walk along the flower beds to eventually slink my little self …
The Great Croc Traverse
Since Ms. Corona (she's not married in my head, because she's a strong independent woman that don't need no man) blessed our lives with her presence there has been a small decline in outdoor shenanigans. Objectives* have been forced on the back burner, so there have been a lot of reading Freedom of the Hills* …
An Ode to Corona
POV of a homeless millennial I'm not going to lie, I like to consider myself an intellect, but I studied kinesiology and had to google what an ode was. I'm also very stubborn and I'm going to call this an ode even though that's incorrect. Oh, Corona, I stare you square in the eye as …
Shelby, Daughter of Stoke and Bringer of Laughter!
Recently, I’ve found myself reading a lot of Norse mythology. That’s a normal thing most young 25-year-old women spend their nights reading right? I’ve been watering my daily thoughts with harrowing war tales and down right metal creation stories. I’m also very bad at keeping things to myself, so of course those thoughts oozed out …

Is It Worth it?
I roll over and the smell of my own armpits wakes me up before my 5:30am alarm does. Slowly, I lower myself from the top bunk without waking my 4 other roommates. I slip into my now baggy, oil stained, Carhartts and synch down the NRS cam strap that I’ve been using as a belt. …
Dirtbags and Bagel Bags
Have you ever tried to describe the taste of orange to someone? That is exactly what going through River School was like, not to mention living in The Yard During my time in Haines I became a Wilderness First Responder, earned my Swift Water Rescue certification, and learned how to read and navigate a river. …
A Dream Is a… Trip You Plan
“Oh man, that would be the dream, quit my job, drive wherever I wanted, and just sleep in my car.” Yes, my fellow #neature person enjoying these hot springs on a cold Utah night in the middle of nowhere, you’re right, it is the dream. But let me remind you that every daydream can also …

Remember when they told us not to talk to strangers on the internet? Whoops. August 29th, 2017: “Where are you from anyway?” “I’m from Orlando, FL. You?” “Holy crap I’m from the other side of the country, Monterey CA” If you love cute stories then continue to read, if you hate millennial shenanigans continue to …
Ethereal
“Hey, Shelby do you want to-" “Yes!!” And this is exactly how I get myself into shenanigans. I mean what is there to lose? Regardless of what happens in the end, it was an experience. I know when to draw the line at dangerous situations or when it’s just plain “not okay”, …
