Walk to the old steel wheeler
I went for a walk today. As I walked, I allowed my mind to drift aimlessly and pondered any random thought that jumped into my brain – my brain that has been engaged and overloaded in the Project Wild Program. Here’s how that walk went. It felt good to release myself to the gravel under…

Man… I really don’t want this week to end. Here at RockRidge, it’s like you’re on a different planet. Time goes by at a different pace and the rest of the big bad world doesn’t seem to exist. I’m gonna miss that feeling. I’m gonna miss being surrounded by likeminded people who are just as…

Most straight-ahead country songs are recorded in professional studios, but I found out this week that playing the sound of Jupiter’s soundwaves in a blanket fort made of upside down bunkbeds is also a pretty great way to make a record. Part of the Project WILD Bootcamp experience this week was writing a song with…

The Climb August 26, 2019 Note: must read to end for final picture Cue in Miley Cyrus…Just kidding. But let’s focus on the title of that song for a minute and you’ll see why it’s not as cheesy as you thought. A lovely group of people from bootcamp decided it would be a good idea…
