Wyoming, the third state of the Continental Divide Trail (for northbound hikers) is another dramatic shift in the trail for thru-hikers. The transition from Colorado to Wyoming is just as dramatic as the shift from New Mexico to Colorado. The small mountain resort towns of Colorado are replaced
Continental Divide Trail in Photos: Colorado
Colorado, the second state of the Continental Divide Trail (for northbound hikers), presents a set of new challenges for hikers leaving New Mexico. Hikers face elevation, snow, thunderstorms, cold, moose, recreational cannabis, and increased prices once they cross the border into Colorado from New
The Most Neatest Photos of 2019
I continued my tradition of amateur photography in 2019 and I think I've managed to get some pretty good shots. That said, some of the best shots of the year come to us from @paulinadao. Hopefully, the trend of neat picture making and not dying continues in 2020. This year's photos are from
Q&A With Zoner Photo Studio
Although I usually feel that photography is supplemental to the words I write down here on the blog (the photos are basically here to make the text less intimidating), photography is becoming a more important part of Halfway Anywhere and how I share my adventures. A big part of photography? The

The Most Bestest Photos of 2018
I always worry about not having enough photos to fill a post with my favorites from the previous year, but it turns out that a year is a pretty long time (despite the feeling that our revolutions around the sun are speeding up). If you're interested, here are the looks back at the previous years:
The Most Favorite Photos of 2017
Last year we had some pretty epic photos make The Most Favorite Photos of 2016, but I think I've managed to outdo myself this year. About a quarter of the way through 2017 I took the plunge and bought myself a new camera (so much lighter and more awesome). Towards the end of this year, I also
The Most Awesome Photos of 2015
Since I have yet to establish a permanent residence on this planet of ours (and I'm open to suggestions as to where this should be), I have nowhere to print and display all the billions of bytes of photographic data I have been amassing in my wandering. Consequently, the internet (and more
