Introduction

Since I have stopped working full time I have taken advantage of my relative freedom to go on a series of little ‘adventures.’  I call them adventures instead of trips or vacations because there is an element of discomfort and risk in an adventure.

I wrote up a relatively short bit on each of the latest adventures I have taken, not just to share with others but to also help me capture and remember what I did.   I call them articles to a non-existent magazine.  Although they are posted in a more or less random way, I date them as best I can.  The first few trips were in truth more like vacations, but as I got better at my little excursions they became more challenging.

I hope you enjoy these stories.
