Enjoying the South Shore in winter
EDDY GILMORE: My annual journey by ski into the wilderness is for me the equivalent of how others view their trips to Florida and Vegas. Rejuvenation springs forth through intense physical effort tempered by relaxation, silence and camaraderie with good friends.for the Budgeteer, 03/19/2012

Eddy Gilmore: An adventure in the old pines only you and I know
For the better part of a month I found myself practically studying McKenzie Map No. 9 under the covers with a flashlight. The anticipation and planning are half the fun of exploring.
