Manufactured by Best Feeders Inc. in Poteet, TX., the Best-1 Hummingbird Feeder is one of my favorite bits of outdoor paraphernalia. Really easy to fill and clean and just looks plain money with with the screen printed bottle.

The Bookworm, West Yellowstone

Pics from the wife of The Bookworm in West Yellowstone. Looks like a great combo of books, vintage Yellowstone pennants and other ephemera. I managed to score the neonish YS pennant, thanks honey.

Richard Bickel’s Apalachicola

Alico Hiking Boots – Planning Ahead

I have about 13 years on these older Alicos and they are still going strong, so I thought I might as well plan ahead and order a backup for when they eventually give up. As of late they seem to be darn near impossible to find in the States especially if the price is right. [...]
