All – Thoughts On The Table

Christine is Dying

jpmahone717 — Sun, 29 Sep 2019 15:36:57 +0000

Sometimes it takes tragedy to create change. It’s been nearly a year since I’ve really written. The iphone note snippets cataloging the depths of my thoughts have been consistent, but I haven’t written. I love to write. I’m already emotional sitting here doing it again. Explosions in the Sky playing in the background on this …

Let’s All Join The Walrus Cult

jpmahone717 — Sun, 07 Oct 2018 16:07:09 +0000

It’s been another minute since posting. That’s because I’m stationary in Denver and not on permanent vacation anymore. It’s been good and necessary. But I also haven’t had the feels every day like I was getting traveling around, sleeping in jungle hostels or an old Land Cruiser. See my previous blog for that list. The …

My Way

jpmahone717 — Thu, 16 Aug 2018 22:40:11 +0000

Hi everyone. Been a minute, huh? The truth is I haven’t been inspired to write lately. I’ve had time, just haven’t written. I definitely don’t want to post some crap just so I have some words published. I guess that’s the benefit of not getting paid for this. I finally found some inspiration at a …

Yesterday I Broke Out In To A Sprint Up A Mountain And Pumped My Fist. Lower Crystal Lake Review.

jpmahone717 — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 15:30:24 +0000

Then I primal screamed at the top. True story. It started out as a morning run. Then Soul’s Too Loud came on and, man, that song! Here’s the setting. The night before I camped outside Breckenridge at Lower Crystal Lake. I’d heard about this on a site I like called The Outbound (no plugs or …

Joe Mahoney – Blogger, Canyoneer

jpmahone717 — Thu, 21 Jun 2018 16:26:20 +0000

This is a bonus blog. I want to try writing some more descriptive blogs about these hikes that I’ve been doing. People aren’t lying when they say pictures don’t do justice. Cameras can’t peer down the sheer edge of a cliff. There is no lense wide enough for the Grand Canyon and cameras certainly can’t …

The People You Meet

jpmahone717 — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 00:46:43 +0000

I’ve met a bunch of people along the way since I started all this in September of 2017. People I either wouldn’t have met or wouldn’t have spent time talking to under normal circumstances. I’ve enjoyed hearing their stories. Most of my destinations are recommendations from locals. I think I had a latent need to …

I spent the night backpacking alone in the Yosemite backcountry where it was mandatory and strictly enforced to store any food or items with a smell in a park issued bear canister

jpmahone717 — Sun, 03 Jun 2018 17:44:31 +0000

This blog entry covers the beginning of my U.S. road trip to now. Seattle to Portland to San Francisco to Truckee and the Northern Sierras to Yosemite to Mammoth Lakes where I’m currently writing from a picnic bench in the preserved ghost town of Bodie, CA. I’ve been doing a TON of writing along the …

Finish What I Started

jpmahone717 — Sun, 20 May 2018 14:18:52 +0000

I’ve been gone 9 months and have seen some things. But I did not anticipate just how nice coming back to the familiarity of my city would be. The energy, the high rises, the crap May weather and of course all the characters. From my friends, to the old school guys smoking cigars with permanent …

The Relationship Blog

jpmahone717 — Thu, 19 Apr 2018 02:14:15 +0000

I’ve been in Oaxaca, Mexico for 2 months now. It seems longer. Since arriving I’ve made some friends, had a job and have otherwise acclimated pretty well. I think it takes about 1.5 months of being somewhere to have a solid grasp of the place, assuming it’s not New York City or somewhere else huge. …

Manifest Destiny

jpmahone717 — Mon, 02 Apr 2018 03:00:18 +0000

I went to a baseball game, the Oaxaca Guerreros vs. the Mexico Diablos. I put on my ballcap and started walking to the ballpark with a pep in my step. Saw the fireworks in the sky for lineups during the walk. I was PUMPED. I pep walk up to the box office and ask for …
