Single-handedly solving nothing

Fossil Hunting in the Green River Formation

January 26, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Our bucket list camping trip in the summer of 2022 will long be remembered as perhaps our best ever. Yellowstone National Park has that affect on memories. And while Yellowstone was the certainly the centrepiece of the trip, our four hours hunting Green River Formation fossils at American Fossil Quarry were, without question, the highlight. […]

Grant Village Campground – Yellowstone National Park – review

January 17, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

It’s oddly comforting to learn that naivety can still strike on the backside of middle age. Case in point, this here review of Grant Village Campground in Yellowstone National Park. My only campground review for all off Yellowstone, home to twelve. That latter fact was not my intention. Not by a long shot. Sure, going […]

Crazy: Memoir of a Mom Gone Mad by Charise Jewell – review

October 15, 2022 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

There are three groups of people in the world: those you know intimately, those you don’t know at all, and those you know a bit. In other words: closest family and dearest friends, complete strangers, and coworkers, classmates and other assorted acquaintances. Of the three, I contend that the ones you should never read gut-spilling, […]

Pembina River Provincial Park – review

September 27, 2022 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Make no mistake, Pembina River Provincial Park is a delightful campground for family, friends, or any combination thereof to make merry on a summer’s weekend. Also know that on the August long weekend of 2022, I wanted no part of any of it. Perhaps it was too soon after our bucket list mega-adventure camping through […]
