Hi. My name is Shelli Johnson, and I am rich. In fact, I can’t believe how rich I am.
Here’s my secret:
Creating Fun in Your Life – Just Do It
Since selling our business in September 2008, some people think I’m retired, or semi-retired. While I’ve certainly gained more personal time and freedom, I’m not retired and don’t plan on retiring anytime soon — if ever.
In fact, in addition to doing my best to be a good mother to our three sons and a good [...]
Help Me? I NEED a NOLS Expedition
Hi friends. I appreciate your readership. I need to ask you a favor. I am trying to win a National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) expedition. I entered a video in a contest that ends Friday. I need people to watch the video. (And, if you feel so inclined, please vote/give it a ‘thumbs up’ and/or [...]
Another Best Wind River Hike, Ever…
I have had a great four months. My beloved Wind River Range has been good to me. I have been lucky enough to experience seven or eight long and stunning day hikes in my back yard plus a bunch of smaller hikes and outdoor adventures with my family.
Most recently, my husband, Jerry, and I hiked [...]
My Most Epic Wind River Day Hike
I just completed a life list hike that’s in my back yard, Wyoming’s southern Wind River Range. As those of you who know me, or read this blog, know, I live for these “epic” hikes in the Wind River Range. This year I had a list of five major ones I wanted to do. Due [...]
Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim of Grand Canyon: 46 miles, 23,200′ of gain/loss, 23 hours
The Grand Canyon is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. After having traveled by foot from one rim to the depths of the canyon across the Colorado River to the other rim, and then back again, I can tell you, from intimate experience, that this claim to fame is merited.
The 277-mile-long [...]
Ahead: Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim
Well, here I am. Coming up on one of my life list adventures: a Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim of the Grand Canyon. All told, depending on which trail we descend from the South Rim, we’re talking 42-48 miles. In one day. One push. No camping or overnight stay in the process. Just hiking constantly from one rim to [...]
Hawaii’s Big Island Delivers Big
In early April we spent our spring break on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was our second time there. It is one of our favorite places in the world.
We had a magnificent time. We had seven days there, including the first three days in the Kona area, and the last four days in the [...]
Parasailing Far Above the Ocean for 14 Minutes off Hawaii’s Big Island
We just returned from a week of blissful rest and relaxation on the Big Island of Hawaii. What a magnificent place!
While there, one of the exciting adventures we embarked upon was a parasail over the ocean. It was amazing.
I talked our two oldest sons, Wolf and Hayden, ages 9 and 8, to join me on [...]
Angel’s Landing Hike in Zion National Park
Zion Trip, Pt. 2
Wow. I knew Angel’s Landing was exposed and that as a result of its heights and exposed nature it was to be an adventure.
We had been to Zion a few other times but as a family. Our sons are small so we had been (wisely) advised to stay away from Angel’s Landing… [...]
