Pic of the Day in Honor of Maya Angelou

“I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick some ass.” – Maya Angelou

Life on the road, tonight we’re coming to Manchester

Life on the road: Buffalo and Tough Cookie stopped for lunch at the Littleton Diner over the weekend on the way to an event in Lincoln. Many thanks to our friend Jeff for the yummy grub, and the picture! Our holiday road trip continues tonight at 7 p.m. at the Manchester City Library at 405 Pine Street. And this time, we’re bringing Aaron who will open the show with a violin song! Please stop by for music and tales of adventure!

Our one year anniversary since finishing the 52!

One year ago today, Janelle and Dan finished their journey of the 52 With a View. On our one year anniversary, we wanted to say thanks to all our our family, friends and supporters who have made this past year so amazing. Thank you and keep hiking!

Hiking up Hedgehog

One year ago today, Janelle and I had just completed Hedgehog Mtn., only our 9th 52’er! So, I unearthed this nice shot from the archives of our Hedgehog hike.

Tomorrow, we head to R.I. and Conn. for meet and greets, and hikes and all sorts of fun. We’re calling it the “We hope somebody shows up” Tour! All you R.I. and Conn. fans, check out this link and come say hi. Denali Wakefield Hike and Signing

But something else occurred to me, we’re only 20 LIKES away from hitting 500 fans on Facebook, wow! So tell you all what. Help us hit 500 by Monday and we’ll have an enormous give-away drawing, 10 items! I’ll give away t-shirts, and water bottles, and packs and whatever other stuff I can dig up! So spread the word near and far, B and TC want you!

If you are not yet a Facebook fan, here’s the link. Come join us! Facebook Buffalo and Tough Cookie

See you all on Monday, keep hiking and peace.

Pic of the day: Then and now

A little “Sunrise, Sunset” moment for you all today. The pic on the left, which is in the book, was taken in July 2013. The pic on the right was taken three days ago. That ought to be enough to make you spend some of your day considering the passage of time! Buffalo and Tough Cookie are on tour; tonight they will be at White Birch Books in North Conway. Tomorrow you’ll find them at the Littleton Library. Stop by and say hi!
