I drove a four-wheeler and hiked up to a cabin in the woods right on the Continental Divide between Montana and Idaho.
There is an old abandon goldmine and old cabins up there.
People keep the cabin stocked with provisions of sorts.
It's really a place forgotten in time.
On the northern tip of Door County on the Peninsula in Wisconsin, in Lake Michigan, is Washington Island.
One has to ferry to the island.
There is a great and continuous history of fishing up here.
While beautiful now, quite cold and harsh come winter.
I always love to visit the Art Institute of Chicago.
I've been anxiously awaiting the reopening of the Rennaissance and Armor exhibit. The new exhibit is in a beautiful space complete with cathedral ceilings and gothic arches
I overheard a tour guide speaking to a group of young people about how gritty and industrial the city is and that the Art Institute provides a place for beautiful art and collections as almost a refuge from the grittiness of the city.
It really does feel like a refuge.
Found these old photos today from the ranch in Idaho. The original Moulton ranch was in Jackson Hole WY and these items came from there. This is an old trunk covered in a branded cow hide. Very cool, no?
Also I had photographed these old wood skis and snowshoes that were used on the ranch in Jackson, Wy.
